Could You Drink Pickle Beer?!

Byron Burger Pickle Beer

In recent years we’ve seen Aunt Bessie’s Jam Roly Poly beer, Warburton’s crumpet beer and even Seabrook Crisps’ Prawn Cocktail flavoured beer so naturally when this exciting bit of news popped up in our inboxes we had to share. Hold on to your hats folks because we are about to introduce you to the UK’s first ever… PICKLE beer!*

* No, this is not an April Fools!

Why Pickle Beer?!

On surveying 2000 people nationwide, Byron Burger, the company behind this brand new product, discovered that 51% of people agree pickles are a must in a burger. 1 in 2 people think that pickles add great flavour and texture to a dish and one third of 18-34 year olds think that pickles are a perfect hangover cure. So, taking all this onboard they have taken the plunge and given the pickle loving nation another pickle wonder to enjoy, pickle beer!

What Does It Taste Like?!

Byron pickle beer has a Saison base and combines a natural dry tart acidity with a subtle herbal fresh dill infusion leading to a crisp flavour with a tangy finish. The perfect pairing with your burgers whether they be meat, veggie or vegan… extra gherkins optional! You can find out what we thought of it in Ep 79 of our Bring a Bottle Podcast!
