Tyson Pizza pop-up at PEPOWN in Chigasaki on June 10 with three beer pairings
PEPOWN, the brewery in Chigasaki, Kanagawa, will host a Tyson Pizza pop-up on June 10. The lineup includes a strawberry salad pizza and three pairing beers: Jelly King, Wind, and Wald.
Hop BroChigasaki’s PEPOWN on June 10 is shaping up to be dangerously good. Tyson Pizza is doing a pop-up from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., with fresh pizza and craft beer pairings on deck.
MugiWait, what? A brewery pizza party? And they’re bringing a mobile pizza oven? That place is about to smell illegally amazing. Takeout too? I’m listening.
Hop BroThe headline items are the strawberry salad pizza and a solo-friendly 4in1. You can eat in or take it home, which is a pretty clean setup.
MugiStrawberries on pizza? Pizza with strawberries sounds like it majored in fashion. So which beer is supposed to go with that?
Hop BroFirst pick is Bellwoods Brewery’s Jelly King, a DDH Sour Ale at 5.0%. Jelly King’s tang lines up with the strawberry’s sweet-acid balance and keeps the whole thing bright and juicy.
MugiHold on, what is DDH? You just switched from beer talk to lab report and left me behind with the pizza boxes.
Hop BroDDH basically means extra hops added later for a big aroma hit, like aroma added late. And the lactic sourness part? Think yogurt-like freshness, not scary science.
MugiOhhh, got it. Then for something punchy like the spicy takana sausage, you’d want a sausage-fighting beer instead, right?
Hop BroExactly. Brasserie Knot’s Wind is an IPA at 6.0%, and its crisp bitterness tightens up the spice and fat. Passific Brewing’s Wald is a Schwarz at 5.5%, a lighter dark beer that works with the crust, tomato acidity, and cheese richness.
MugiAnd they’ve also got shirasu cheese and Margherita? Shirasu cheese joins in too? That’s unfair. Now I want a separate glass for every slice.
Hop BroThat’s the PEPOWN move: a three-beer pairing match where each topping gets its own best friend. Jelly King, Wind, and Wald all play different positions.
MugiAll right, I’m done pretending to be calm. On June 10, I need pizza in one hand and I need a beer now energy in the other. My appetite has officially won.
On June 10, PEPOWN, the brewery in Chigasaki, Kanagawa, will host a Tyson Pizza pop-up from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Tyson Pizza will bring a mobile pizza oven and serve pies fresh on site. Takeout will also be available, so the event is set up for both dine-in and takeaway.
The featured menu items are a strawberry salad pizza and a solo-friendly "4-in-1." PEPOWN is also presenting three beers as pairing options:
- Bellwoods Brewery "Jelly King" DDH Sour Ale / 5.0%
- Brasserie Knot "Wind" IPA / 6.0%
- Passific Brewing "Wald" Schwarz / 5.5%
Jelly King is positioned as a match for the strawberry pizza, with lactic acidity that supports the fruit's sweetness and tartness. Wind brings crisp bitterness that can stand up to spicy takana and the richness of sausage. Wald, a lighter black beer, adds roasted notes that pair well with tomato acidity and the depth of cheese.
Tyson Pizza's standard lineup also includes karashi takana sausage, shirasu cheese, and Margherita. With pizza and beer dialed in side by side, the event should appeal to drinkers who want a straightforward, food-focused craft beer pairing night.
