PITTSBURGH (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) - Primanti Bros. and East End Brewing Company are teaming up once again to bring back “Almost Famous Pickle Beer.”
The “Cucumber Peppercorn Gose Ale” returns on August 19.
The pickle beer debuted last year and this season will feature more peppercorn flavor compared to last year’s batch.
“Almost Famous Pickle Beer sold out in less than 48 hours after we cracked the first can in July 2019,” said Jim Prezioso, Senior Marketing Manager, Primanti Bros. “Almost Famous Pickle Beer is the right beer at the right time, especially with everyone in sort-of-a pickle these days with COVID-19. “
According to a release, the recipe features barley and hops like most beers in addition to “about 600 pounds of fresh local cucumbers, coriander, sea salt, fresh dill and black peppercorn.
“The fresh cukes really come through this year, and the new peppercorn addition definitely accentuates the savory notes on the beer’s finish. I just can’t wait to drink one with a Primanti’s sandwich!” said Smith.
The beer will be available at select Primanti Bros. locations in the area as well as East End Brewing Company’s online story.
