Drekker Please Accept Our Sacrifice of Pizza 4Pk

Drekker Please Accept Our Sacrifice of Pizza 4Pk is a lactose-free fruited sour ale brewed at 6.7% ABV, sold as a 4-pack from Drekker Brewing Company. A collaboration with The Brewing Projekt, this release layers strawberry, blueberry, kiwi, orange, sugar cookies, and cream cheese frosting into a dessert-forward sour that achieves its thick, creamy body without any lactose — a meaningful departure from the smoothie-style sours that dominate the category.

Production & Heritage

Drekker Brewing Company operates out of Fargo, North Dakota, and has built a devoted following around its aggressively fruited sour ales and hazy IPAs. For Please Accept Our Sacrifice of Pizza — the name reflecting Drekker's irreverent, off-kilter branding rather than any pizza ingredient — the brewery partnered with The Brewing Projekt out of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, another respected name in the fruited sour space. The beer is conditioned on real strawberry, blueberry, kiwi, and orange, then finished with sugar cookie and cream cheese frosting flavoring. Critically, no lactose is added, which sets it apart from the majority of smoothie-style sours that rely on milk sugar for body and sweetness.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Sugar cookie sweetness arrives first, followed by ripe strawberry and blueberry. A subtle citrus lift from orange and kiwi rounds out the nose with a bakery-like cream cheese frosting quality.

Taste: The entry is plush and sweet, immediately delivering mixed berry fruit — strawberry and blueberry dominate — wrapped in a layer of vanilla-rich cream cheese frosting. Mid-palate, kiwi and orange introduce a tangy brightness that cuts through the dessert sweetness. The tartness never fully takes over, keeping the sour character restrained and approachable.

Finish: A lingering cream cheese frosting sweetness blends with a light berry tartness that keeps the palate from feeling cloying. The finish is moderate in length with a clean, slightly tart exit that invites the next sip.

How to Drink Sacrifice of Pizza

Pour cold into a tulip glass or stemless wine glass to capture the full aromatic complexity of the fruit and pastry additions. This beer is best enjoyed fresh and on its own — the dessert character makes it a standalone experience. For those inclined to experiment: a Beer-mosa using this sour in place of traditional beer adds fruit-forward depth to a brunch classic; a Berliner Shandy mixed with lemonade amplifies the citrus and kiwi notes; and a Sour Float topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream leans fully into the dessert identity.

Best For

• Sharing with friends who claim they don't like sour beer — the dessert sweetness converts skeptics
• Dessert course substitute at a summer dinner party
• Gifting to a craft beer collector who seeks limited collaboration releases
• Pairing alongside a cheese board or brunch spread on a weekend afternoon

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Sacrifice of Pizza taste like? It tastes like a mixed-berry dessert — strawberry and blueberry layered with cream cheese frosting sweetness, sugar cookie, and a moderate tartness from kiwi and orange that keeps it balanced.

How does Sacrifice of Pizza compare to The Brewing Projekt's fruited sours? Both breweries specialize in heavily fruited sour ales, but this collaboration blends their respective strengths. The Brewing Projekt's solo releases tend to lean more sharply tart, while Drekker's dessert additions push this collab further into pastry territory with its sugar cookie and frosting notes.

Is Sacrifice of Pizza good for people new to sour beer? Yes — the prominent dessert sweetness and fruit-forward character keep the tartness mild and approachable, making it one of the more beginner-friendly fruited sours available.

Where is Sacrifice of Pizza made? It is brewed by Drekker Brewing Company in Fargo, North Dakota, in collaboration with The Brewing Projekt of Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

What foods pair well with Sacrifice of Pizza? New York-style cheesecake mirrors the cream cheese frosting notes; fresh fruit tarts echo the berry and kiwi character; lemon bars complement the citrus tartness; soft brie cheese contrasts the sweetness with earthy richness; and vanilla panna cotta parallels the dessert profile without competing.

What sizes does Sacrifice of Pizza come in? It is available as a 4-pack of cans, which is the standard format for Drekker's fruited sour releases.

Is Sacrifice of Pizza worth the price? It positions in the premium craft sour tier, which reflects the cost of real fruit additions, a lactose-free formulation, and its status as a limited collaboration release between two respected breweries in the fruited sour category.

Why Sacrifice of Pizza?

The lactose-free formulation is the standout detail here. Most smoothie-style sours depend on lactose for body and perceived sweetness, which excludes drinkers with dairy sensitivities and adds a heavy, sometimes cloying quality. Drekker and The Brewing Projekt achieved a comparable creamy texture and dessert character through fruit and flavoring additions alone — a more difficult technical accomplishment. The Untappd community has responded positively, rating it 4.2 out of 5 across nearly 1,800 reviews. For anyone drawn to the fruited sour category but seeking something that sidesteps lactose without sacrificing richness, this collaboration earns serious consideration.
