I love pickles. So many do, and a few breweries have been making pickle beer as of late. I have a friend who is so obsessed, they even fly to Idaho to get their favorite. It's a beer from the midwest, but Idaho is the closest place to find it!
Destihl Brewery out of Illinois makes two pickle beers. Regular sour and a spicy sour. It packs a serious pickle punch. They're brewed with Suckerpunch pickle brine. They make amazing pickles, so this is a perfect partnership. It's a Gose, which is a style that makes total sense to partner with pickles. The beer is zesty, garlicky pickley goodness. And yes, the savory angle is fantastic! I see that these guys are also making a Hanson beer with Mmmm hops, and that they're the official US beer partner of Wrexham soccer! That’s the soccer club co-owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. I’m thinking a trip to Normal Illinois is in order, for some decidedly un-normal beer
