Do you think pickle beer is a creative innovation that adds diversity to the craft beer scene, or is it an abomination that strays too far from traditional brewing practices?

Personally, I’m torn between embracing pickle beer’s adventurous spirit and questioning if it’s just a briny gimmick.
I mean, who wouldn’t be curious about a beer that tastes like pickles? But then again, does it really belong in the sacred realm of craft brewing?

I’ve not met a cucumber or pickle beer that I’ve not tried. I enjoy most of them. I wish someone would make one a bit more spicy without making it a bloody maryish.

Absolutely! It’s a delicate balance, isn’t it? The allure of pickle beer’s unique flavor is undeniable, yet there’s a nagging doubt about its place among the revered craft brews. As a pickle beer aficionado myself, I’ve sampled them all. While I appreciate the variety, a touch of spice could elevate the experience without veering into Bloody Mary territory.

Craft Beer has progressed to become the antithesis of Traditional Brewing. So, far from being abomination, it takes the brewing art to new realms which are at odds with tradition.
