Pizza and Pints: How to Pair OakCraft’s Pies with Local Brews

There’s a reason pizza and beer are a classic combo—but at OakCraft, we take it a step further. With a lineup of locally sourced IPAs and bold, handcrafted pizzas, we believe the right pairing can turn a good meal into a great one. Whether you like it spicy, savory, or a little sweet, there’s a craft beer on our menu that brings out the best in every bite.

Hot Pep with Spyglass Brewing (Rotating IPA)

With its spicy red sauce and hot honey drizzle, Hot Pep is bold and fiery. A rotating IPA from Spyglass—often juicy, hoppy, and full of citrus—adds just the right amount of balance and brightness.

The Goat with Able Ebenezer – Glory Not The Prey (NE IPA)

Creamy goat cheese, roasted red peppers, and a pesto drizzle meet their match in this smooth, citrusy New England IPA. It’s a flavor-forward combo that’s rich without being heavy.

Vodka Pie with Maine Beer Company – Lunch (IPA)

Lunch is crisp and layered, making it a great companion for the savory, slightly sweet depth of vodka sauce, mushrooms, and salty prosciutto. Together, they hit all the right notes.

BBQ Chicken with Fiddlehead IPA

Sweet barbecue sauce, tender chicken, and sharp red onion come to life alongside Fiddlehead’s bright bitterness. It’s bold on bold—in the best possible way.

Classic Pepperoni with Night Shift – The 87 (Double IPA)

This go-to pizza needs a beer that can hold its own. The 87, a strong and flavorful double IPA, cuts through the richness and delivers a balanced, satisfying sip every time.

Old World Margherita with Allagash White (Witbier)

Light, floral, and just a little citrusy, Allagash White brings out the fresh basil and tomato in this classic pizza. It’s refreshing, elegant, and endlessly pairable.

Ricotta Hot Honey Toast with Wormtown Summer

Creamy ricotta and sweet heat from hot honey meet the easygoing nature of Wormtown’s seasonal brew. It’s a perfect match for something light, snackable, and full of flavor.

Not a beer fan? Try this pairing:

The Prosciutto & Arugula pizza pairs beautifully with Line 39 Sauvignon Blanc. The wine’s crisp acidity highlights the saltiness of the prosciutto and the peppery bite of fresh greens.
