  Speaker 2: See, because, like, I like dill pickle spears. Yeah. Or
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: fried pickles.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Either, like, chips or spears, however. Either way, it doesn't matter.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I'm not big on, like, pickle, like, chips or, like,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: a whole pickle. Like, they have to be in a spear.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: And I don't like them on, like, my sandwiches or
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: anything like that.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: I love pickles. I eat them any way I can
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: get them.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: At least, like, Belle and I would have a, we'd
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: get the big jug. Of all the full-size pickles. And
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: just mow those things down. Yeah, I know.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Those pickles. Every kind of pickle, man. I'm in. I'm in.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: No question. That goes on everything, too. If I have
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: a sandwich or anything, it's going on there.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Like jalapenos. I just put that on everything.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah?
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Like cranked red hot?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I should have made a homemade pizza today. I should
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: have put some pickles on a pizza. You should have,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: but you didn't. Yeah, this just tastes like a lager.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: It does.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: It smells. It smells amazing. Like, as soon as I
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: opened that can, I go, whoa, here we go. Yeah.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: But it just reminds me of all the other pickle beers, right? Like,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: the smell does. Like, every other pickle beer we've had.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Actually, this has a bigger pickle smell than any of
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: the other pickle beers we've had. Yeah.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: But the other ones just taste like pure pickle juice.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Like, this smells like a jar of pickles.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Like, but the taste is, there's no pickle taste.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: God, it smells, it's like, I just want it to smell,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I just want it to taste how it smells. That's
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: all I want. And when I get closer to them,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: I'm like.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I got a little bit there on the front of
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the second drink But not much.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: It's very, very thin.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Very faint.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: That sucks. I was kind of getting excited because it's
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: been a while since we had pickle beers.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Well, I got this for you. I like pickle beers.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: You're a pickle guy. I mean, when Martin House first
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: came out with the pickle beers, you bought a plethora
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: of them and you gave them to everybody you could
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: give them to.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: I bought those? Yeah.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Maybe because we couldn't get our hands on them. We
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: wanted everybody to try the pickle beer back then. You
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: want to try it?
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. We're going to record you. Yeah.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Before anyone walked in your house, you're like, you got
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to try the pickle beer. I don't want to.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: All right, then leave. Because we'd just be giggling. Because
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: it's like, it was so damn sour. It was wild.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: And then they started making variations of it. The spicy
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: one was good. I liked that one a lot.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But it's a good mixer. Like those, like you
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: can use this as like, I don't know, picklebacks. Or
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: you can actually use them like the spicy one. Use
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: them like in almost like a, not a Margaret, Bloody Mary. Oh, yeah.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Just a little splat.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: It's a little something. It's a little something, man.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: It's a little something.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, it's okay.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Tastes like a pass-through ribbon with a little bit of
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: something different in there. It's definitely garlic. I can taste
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: the garlic. Yeah, it's... What'd you say the average score was?
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: 3.08.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: According to AI Overview, the opinions are mixed on Beer
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Advocate where some users are excited to try a refreshing
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and unusual flavor combination while others are skeptical or refuse
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: to try a pickle-infused PBR.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: You know, I mean, that shouldn't, if.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: You're refusing to drink it, then you don't score it, obviously.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: You don't check in either. So that doesn't make any sense. But, yeah,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: it's supposed to be flavor.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Profile, bright, briny, and dill forward. Okay.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: With a crisp, refreshing finish and a subtle vinegar snap. Now,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not getting a lot of vinegar.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: No? I'm not getting a lot of, obviously, there's garlic
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: in there because I can taste it. A little bit.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: It stays in the back of your freaking throat a
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: little bit long. But I love the way it smells.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Like if I could get an air, like Liz's got
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: these Pura things you plug in the wall or whatever that,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you know, you can customize it or whatever. She could
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: get a pickle flavor one or a pickle scent one
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and just put.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: This in the whole house.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Pickle smell in the whole house?
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Oh, shit. I'd love it for a little bit. I'd
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: probably go for a day or two. I don't know.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Just a day or two. I don't need to live
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: the rest of my life like that.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Back when I worked at the grocery store, I think
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: there was nothing worse than when someone dropped a jar
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: of pickles.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: They always drop pickles.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: On the aisle. Because that smell was there for a month.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: It was not going away.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: I like this. I just feel like I'm not getting
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: what I want.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: You're not getting pickle.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: And I want pickle.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: And you're not getting it.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not going to score this one just
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: because I'm not a big pickle guy, so I wouldn't
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: have scored it to begin with. You're not getting any
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: pickle anyway, so why don't you just score?
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: It's a little longer.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: It's a little score because you're not giving me what
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: you're telling me.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Well, then it sounds like it's going to be.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: A little score.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know. So you're just going to admit giving
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: bad scores these days.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Not worried about it. I feel you. I feel you.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Here's what I'm going to say. I'll never have that again.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Like I have zero desire. It sucks too because I
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: would have been in. I wouldn't recommend this to anybody
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: because it just doesn't have that pickle taste. If you're
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: not getting it for the pickle taste, just get PBR.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: It's got a little something extra, but it's not pickle.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Maybe they should have just dumped pickle juice in there.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I'm just like, man.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Because whatever it was, whatever they put in there got
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: ate up during the brewing process or the post-processing.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Maybe we got a bad one. I don't know, but
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to find out. I'm not going to
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: try it again.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: September 14th, 2026. So it's not old. I'll tell you that.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: So there you go. That's it. And can you taste
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: the pickles?
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Have you had it? Did you have a can where
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: you're like, oh, man, this tastes like I just sucked
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: down a couple pickles.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Suck them down.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Suck it on chili.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Suck it on chili dogs outside the tasty freeze. Were
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: you sucking on pickles outside of Grillo's? I don't know.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: You tell us.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: If you found one, let us know, because then we'll
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: go back and get another one.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Maybe. Maybe not. I don't know. But as always, guys,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I'm Alan. Talk to you later. Deuces.
