Forget TGIF, we’re talking TGIFF – Thank God it’s Firkin Friday! On tap this week is Flying Dog’s Imperial Pumpkin Ale, ‘The Fear’. But first, let’s get back to the basics – what is a firkin you ask? Simply stated, it’s a mini barrel of beer. More specifically, the firkin is a small barrel (10.5 gallons) that is one-fourth the size of a regular barrel of beer. So you’re probably thinking…why would I want smaller beer barrels?? Well for starters, the smaller sized barrel is ideal for cask conditioning, yielding naturally fermented and carbonated beer in a small batch. We won’t bore you with the exact details, but ales that are housed in the firkin are naturally carbonated by its resident yeast, with ingredients that have not been processed in any way outside of the fermentation via yeast. The result is some seriously delicious beer. But don’t take our word for it, head in to … Continue reading →

Summer may be over in Ocean City, but it’s not over QUITE yet for the 2,000-plus hot rods, custom and classic cars, and trick trucks that will be cruisin’ into town this week. The annual Endless Summer Cruisin’ event is a big favorite of ours here at Pizza Tugos; after all, what’s not to love? Cars, special guests, entertainment, giveaways…and did we mention the cars! Before, during, or after your stop at the Inlet Parking Lot and Convention Center in Ocean City, cruise into Pizza Tugos to refuel on pizza and a cold beer. Grab a seat at the bar or take a few pizzas to go, either way you’ll be recharged and ready to hit the road. Pizza and classic cars? Yep, sounds like a pretty perfect weekend to us! What’s better than pizza and classic cars at the beach? Pizza and football at the beach of course. But we’ve got more than just … Continue reading →

Seagull Century returns to the Eastern Shore this Saturday, September 27, bringing upwards of 6,000 cyclists and their families to our area for the 26th anniversary of the Delmarva event. If you haven’t heard of Seagull Century before, it’s a major staple on the Eastern Shore with thousands of bikers training for weeks ahead of time for the epic race. Riders have two options, either the 100-mile or the 62-mile route, each of which leads them across Delmarva and through our area towns and countryside. We don’t know about you guys but cycling that far just makes us want to dig into a piece of pizza, house a sub, or at the very least, enjoy an appetizer or two while sipping a frosty beverage. In celebration of Seagull Century, we encourage all the riders to stop in this weekend for a carb overload or a celebratory drink (craft beer anyone?!?). Friends and family who aren’t … Continue reading →

At Pizza Tugos, we look forward to the annual Bike Week in Ocean City, particularly as our parking lot transforms into a veritable bike show, chocked full of uniquely impressive motorcycles to ogle over.

Fill up before hitting the road or end your day of riding with us at the bar!
