Does Dropping a Pickle in Cheap Beer Make It Taste Better?
We at Delish are seriously passionate about pickles. Like, it's literally the name of my cat, that is how deep my love goes. So when we come across a hack that involves pickles, you better believe we're going to try it...even if it involves putting one of my beloved pickles into a glass of beer.
Supposedly, putting a pickle into a glass of light, cheap, beer is supposed to make it taste better. We came across this hack from SimpleMost this week, but it's not exactly new. In fact, when Esquire explored the subject back in 2017, Joe McClure of McClure's Pickles explained why this combo works so well. TLDR; it's basically the same reason you love having pretzels or French fries with a can of beer—the vinegar and salt notes complement the flavors in beer perfectly.
