Sure not everyone likes pickles, but if you like pickles you probably really like them. We’ve heard of some strange pickle combinations like pickles and ice cream and peanut butter and pickle sandwiches, but have you heard of pickles and beer?
Recently, people can’t seem to get enough of the strange combination. We can see the appeal as pickles are a staple in Bloody Marys, so naturally, they should work well in beer.
Pickles and beer isn’t actually a new idea as it started in the Midwest and in 2017, Joe McClure, co-owner of the Brooklyn- and Detroit-based McClure’s Pickles, told Esquire that the pickle taste compliments the beer, “It complements the lager because of the slight vinegar and salt notes that get picked up.”
The combo is tastiest in cheap, light beers as it gives them more flavor. But, you can also add pickles to expensive beers. If you’re down to try pickles and beer, just add a pickle to a glass of beer for a minute or two and then take it out. If you live the pickle in for too long, instead of having a slight dill taste, your beer will taste like pickles. Within seconds, you’ll see your beer start to foam!
Are you ready to give pickles and a beer a try?
