OK, I gotta be honest. I love the creativity and I do not want to stifle it. BUT, with all the great beers out there, I can’t see myself buying this offering….
“Angel City Brewery is proud (and a bit puckered) to announce the arrival of Pickle Weisse. Starting today, Pickle Weisse is on tap at the brewery’s Public House for a limited time only.”
“Angel City’s Brewer Joe Moakley has a passion for pickles. Actually, Joe has a lot of passions. He can fix anything and cook everything. When he’s not brewing beer, he plays the ukulele, produces kimchee, farms coral, and yes, makes pickles. One recent day Joe had a light bulb moment. Starting off with Angel City’s base Berliner Weisse recipe, Moakley and brewer Dieter Foerstner decided to add Joe’s very own secret pickle recipe into the mix and voila – Pickle Weiss – a tart, light-bodied, straw-colored ale blended with pickles. Sounds pretty good paired next to a burger right about now, doesn’t it?”
What say you? Is there a market for savory beers? Or is it just novelty?
