Pickle Lime Lager
Lager, lime and a splash of brine. Clean, crisp, no fuss.
A Pickle Lime Lager is a light lager with fresh lime juice and dill pickle brine, served straight up with no salt rim or ice. It is brighter and more citrusy than the Classic Pickle Beer and simpler than a chelada. Lime and dill together taste like a cold pickle spear with a squeeze of lime.

- Using a lager that already has lime in it? Cut the fresh juice to a small squeeze.
Drink responsibly. This one is for adults of legal drinking age. Want it without the booze? The zero-proof drinks are just as briny.
