Beer and Pizza: The South-African way
The other day 
Below is the label a bit closer, the design is quite nice.
Below you can see the back, the beer sports a moderate 4.5% alcohol, and is thus on the light side. Now note the interesting part: Produced in the Netherlands So here I am in South-Africa, in an Italian Restaurant, drinking Mexican beer, brewed in the Netherlands. If you read the label in a bit more detail, you will see this was done for Heineken SA. This does not make much sense to me.
Below, I poured the beer and it looks quite nice, nice color, nice bubbles, nice foamy head.
Below is the foamy head from above, it looks quite good....
...but then I tasted it and I was not impressed. It just didn't do it for me, I can't really put my finger on what I did not like, but I did not enjoy this bear.
As I said, we were in an Italian Pizzeria, and as one do in a pizzeria, one orders Pizza!! They had a nice wood fired oven that can be seen below!! This was very nice as we are in the middle of winter here in South-Africa. This Italian restaurant is owned by a South-African man, and then I heard the cook is a Russian lady - how will this turn out???
I ordered a not so traditional chicken liver pizza, it cam on a wooden board as can be seen below!!
This one did not disappoint, just look at it from close up - nice, very nice!! and delicious!!
Below is just another photo to get your mouth watering, this was real good.
All in all we had a good time, as this is a small cozy restaurant. The Russian cook is actually the wife of the owner, the waiter is the father of the owner, thus it is a family restaurant, where they still speak to the customers and give good personalized service.
So I was in South-Africa eating at an Italian restaurant, owned by a South-African man, with a Russian cook, drinking Mexican beer, brewed in the Netherlands, for Heineken SA, weird!! But it was nice!!
The photos were taken by me with my iPhone.
Hope you enjoyed it.
