Pickletown Dill Pickle Lager is a collaboration between Deep River Brewing Co., Clayton, North Carolina, and R and R Brewing Co. in Mt. Olive. That is where Mt. Olive Pickle Company is located. Each pint of Pickletown has fifty pickles. This beer pours greenish gold with a one-finger thin white head. The aroma is light, vegetal, with vinegar and cucumber. The flavor is light, vegetal, and vinegary, with a light pickle/cucumber. Not much pickle flavor on this one. It has a light feeling in the mouth. The beer finishes with a light pickle-like vinegar flavor. The aftertaste is a weak pickle. This beer is not bad for a lager, but it does need more pickle flavor. I think Pickletown lager is a C-. I didn’t mind this beer, but I think Martin House Best Made Pickle Beer is more of a pickle beer. But that beer is a Gose, not a lager like this one. I wouldn’t recommend this beer if you are really into pickles, but it is good if you don’t like them so much. If you want to try Pickletown, you can get it at Total Wine and More (totalwine.com). The pickle flavor on this lager is weak, but it is otherwise okay. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
