I stopped in at Trans Canada Brewing Company  in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada for a beer and their pizza (which had been recommended by several other folks at breweries in town.  Both the beer and pizza were amazing.  Their pizza is made ad Timmy Tom’s Pizzeria right inside the brewery.  Great marriage of pizza and beer.  I enjoyed the Fungi Pizza – mushrooms, herbs, smoked gouda, pancetta – WOW!

I paired the pizza with Amarillo IPA which was perfect.  The beer cut the richness of the pizza.  Absolutely delicious beer.  Hoppy and contrasting with the pizza.  Great combination.  I’d love to try other beer – pizza combinations here.

I also broke down and bought myself a touque – look that up my American friends – I should have bought one sooner because it was so cold here in Winnipeg.  And I bought a running shirt which I’ll need soon to burn off the winter calories.
