Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria partners with Steamworks Brewing to make locally brewed Benchmark Beer

The new collaboration kicks off with this year’s Famosofest, October 21-28 

Famoso Neapolitan Pizzeria announced today that its proprietary craft beer label, Benchmark Beer, will now be expertly brewed by Steamworks Brewing Company. The two local Vancouver brands join together, with a shared commitment to quality and value, to meet the growing demand and growth Famoso has had for its craft beer.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Steamworks, a key player in our hometown’s craft beer community,” said Raymond Ho, VP Marketing at FDF Restaurant Brandz. “Benchmark Beer has been a staple for Famoso fans since its launch in 2016, and this new partnership will help enhance our Benchmark Beer and increase our production capacity, offering our guests an exceptional pairing with our Neapolitan pizzas.”

To kick-off and celebrate the new partnership, Famoso is hosting Famosofest starting today and running until October 28. Customers can enjoy a special dine-in promotion where with the purchase of every pizza, they can try a pint of Benchmark Beer for just $4. This exclusive offer is available for customers across British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.

“Few things go together as well as pizza and beer—and we’re big fans of Famoso over at Steamworks,” says Eli Gershkovitch, Steamworks CEO. “We’ll be working closely with Famoso to produce both a Benchmark Pale Ale and Lager, and look forward to guests being able to experience the new brews, starting today.”

Crafted in Vancouver by Steamworks team of skilled brewers, both the Benchmark Pale Ale and Lager will be available at all locations in Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia immediately. Join the fun of Famosofest and celebrate the perfect pairing of great pizza and craft beer by two iconic Vancouver brands.
