A Greater Cincinnati brewery and a local pizzeria are teaming up to give back to the community.
Third Eye Brewing in Sharonville and Fireside Pizza in Walnut Hills have collaborated on a new brew. Pizza P-Eye showcases Third Eye’s knack for innovative and quality craft beers as a perfect complement to Fireside’s unique pizza. The session pale ale is 4.4% ABV with 40 IBU and is highlighted by Barbe Rouge hops, a new hop variety developed in Alsace, France.
Pizza P-Eye was specifically brewed to pair with pizza. Brewer Kelly Montgomery crafted its profile after a tasting session of Fireside pizzas at Third Eye’s Hamilton location.
“It’s so rewarding to work with other small businesses that share our values and passion for our communities. Not only is Kelly Montgomery a rock star of a brewer, but Third Eye has consistently shown commitment to the betterment of the community around them,” Fireside owner Sam Dobrozsi said in a press release. “We’re very lucky that they have agreed to donate some of the proceeds of this beer directly to our community. I’m thrilled to be making this beer with them and I’m thrilled to be serving it at my restaurant. This is going to be awesome.”
You can get Pizza P-Eye at both Third Eye and Fireside. To celebrate its launch, Fireside will host a special event Friday, Feb. 9 where guests can get the first taste of the new brew, meet the chefs and brewers of Fireside and Third Eye and buy pints and six-packs of Pizza P-Eye. It’s also National Pizza Day.
A portion of all its keg sales will be donated to the Walnut Hills Redevelopment Foundation, a nonprofit that works to enhance the quality of life in the neighborhood. Dobrozsi says one of the foundation’s projects was the rebirth of Fire Co. 16, the 155-year-old firehouse that is the current home of Fireside.
“Giving back to the RF is not only a good thing to do; it’s our duty! They helped to remake our building into a place people can meet with friends, enjoy themselves, and even earn a respectable living. It’s our job to give back!” he said.
