Brewery and taproom launches pizzeria

A Digbeth brewery and tap room has launched a new pizzeria.

Dig Brew has introduced Dough Pizzeria – a move that coincides with the craft brewery extending public opening times at its River Street premises in Digbeth from two to three days a week with Thursdays added to its existing Friday and Saturday openings.

Dig Brew, which won a competition run by festival organiser We are Beer this year to find the country’s best up and coming craft beer brewers, has made Dough entirely dough-themed with dough ball starters and hot doughnuts for desserts.

Oliver Webb, who founded Dig Brew with the support of Peter Towler of Mad O’Rourke’s Pie Factory in Tipton two years ago, said: “Our experiment in offering pizza alongside a constantly changing range of beers proved such a success that we decided to offer constantly changing pizzas in our new Dough Pizzeria.

“As most of our customers are couples who enjoy sharing, our trained pizzaiolos can now cater for their preference with extra-large authentic Neapolitan pizzas freshly baked in our new ovens and served speedily to their tables.”
