A true low-to-mid-20s beer, I would say. And yet Pabst Blue Ribbon remains one of the top-selling beers in the country, which means people have clearly remained loyal.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"1\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Now, in what feels like a very 2026 move, it\u2019s heading into pickle territory.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"2\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">PBR and Grillo\u2019s have teamed up for a limited-edition Pickle Beer, which basically turns dropping a pickle spear into a cheap beer into a full canned moment.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-22\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The new brew clocks in at 4.7 percent ABV and is meant to balance PBR\u2019s lager base with the kind of bright, dill-heavy tang people already associate with Grillo\u2019s. So if you\u2019ve ever looked at your beer and thought, \u201cWhat if this tasted more like the inside of a pickle tub?\u201d then congratulations, your wish has been granted.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t think the founder of Pabst saw this one coming. But somewhere along the line, someone put a pickle in a beer and never looked back,&#8221; said Rachel Keeton, Pabst Sr. Brand Director. &#8220;We&#8217;re taking that ritual and making it official with Grillo&#8217;s. It&#8217;s exactly as good as it sounds.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">And the internet, naturally, has thoughts about this collab, too.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"instagram\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-23\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cThis is nuts,\u201d one person wrote.
