A Note on This Beer

I hope you’re wearing your pickle pants today, ‘cause Best Maid Sour Pickle Beer is back, and it’s a big freakin’ DILL.

Every time I manage to get my gherkins on this pickly Gose for Tavour, you all love it. It never sticks around more than 72 hours! And, I can’t say I blame you.

It’s the beer for all of us who sneak sips of juice out of the pickle jar; who order pickle backs at the bar with every shot; and who just can’t stop lovin’ that salty, briny somethin’!

As UT-user @Stormy G. puts it:

“I don’t mean to be dramatic, but this is life-changing for pickle lovers who also love beer! It’s perfect.”

The North Texas taste masters at Martin House start with a refreshingly tart and citrusy Gose base. Then, they use locally-sourced, real dill pickle juice to infuse the mildly sweet n’ sour base with all the salty, briny character we love about pickles!

*Pro-tip: Use Best Maid Sour Pickle Beer to make an incredible Bloody Mary or Michelada!

Holiday shopping is easy with Tavour! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers to holiday beers!

I bought this because I wanted to see how awful something could be and was shocked to find it appealing and decent. VERY pickle-y so one is plenty but I thought it would be horrible and actually enjoyed it.

It’s just pure pickle juice with an after taste of beer. I’m sure it’s very good as a chaser. Can be a nice substitute for pickleback shots

I love this. It has the tangy and saltiness of pickles, wrapped up with the fizz of a beer.

You asked for pickle beer and that's what you got. Probably better in marinades or beer batter than consumed by the glass.

Well, I love pickles but I’m not a fan of pickle juice so much, so I took a gamble at buying this… Definitely not for me, but they nailed the pickle flavor so even though I can’t drink it… 5 stars lol

I mean... it tastes exactly like a pickle. I mean precisely. Whether that’s palatable, I’m not sure. But no jokes here, it’s like pickle brine that will get you buzzed.

It’s pickle beer and it really delivers! If you don’t want to drink a beer that tastes like pickles, don’t order a pickle beer.

Very unusual brew. You'll love it or hate it. Folks aren't wrong that it's akin to drinking pickle brine but that works for me. I'd definitely buy more.

Never have I ever loved a beer so much. It's sour, it's briny and amazing!! I could go either way with Gose but this gets it right for me. I want to get this again!!!

Okay so if you’re looking for pickle you will definitely get it but this is less sour or gose than it is full on pickle brine. Is there even beer in this can or is it just pickling liquid?! Straight up dill. Buyers beware.

Tastes like pickle juice! Drink in moderation, as such it should be in a pickle jar!!!! lol Great as a pickle back for tequila!!

snoozilla

I love pickle juice, and this is basically pickle juice with some beer, but there's some sort of after flavor/sour that doesn't hit right for me. Half the house disagreed. We can all agree it would be good bloody mary material.
