Pizza and beer are a match made in Heaven

What better way to celebrate the Feast of San Francesco di Paola then with some pizza and beer? For me it can’t be any beer, it has to be Paulaner, which by all accounts was first brewed in 1634 by monks from the Order of Minim. Named in honor of their founder, Paulaner is a corruption of Paola, the town in Calabria where San Francesco was born. As patron Saint of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, pizza seems like the obvious choice, but then again when is this beloved Neapolitan staple not the right choice? Evviva San Francesco!
