JJ Twigs Pizza and Pub lives up to it’s name
I met a fraternity brother out for dinner/drinks the other night. We went to JJ Twigs at the corner of Big Bend and Dougherty Ferry. The two things that rocked:
Pizza: Their specialty is a unique twist on deep-dish…it’s a double-decker thin crust pizza. Doesn’t sound like much, but trust me, it’s damn good.
Beer: I’m not much of a beer aficianado, but I always had a soft spot in my heart for the AB spring seasonal brew: Spring Heat - Spiced Wheat. Unbeknownst to me, AB has decided to make it available year-round and have given it the unfortunate name Shock Top. Sounds like something I would drink while I airboarded from 20,000 ft on my way to compete in the X-Games. If you get the draft variety, it’s served with an orange slice, which to me, is a great compliment. Stupid name, great beer.

From the “you probably already know this department”…. If you like Shock Top with an orange, then you’ll probably also like Blue Moon. Blue Moon for whatever reason has really done well marketing itself, because I think it is available at most establishment these days. I’m curious to see what the Shock Top TV ads will look like.

Yeah…funny you mention that. My buddy who I was there with works for AB and said that basically Shock Top (or the decision to make it more than a seasonal brew) was AB’s response to Blue Moon’s success.
I should give Blue Moon a whirl sometime!
