Review: Straight Shooter Juicy Dill Pickle Hard Seltzer
Shiner Beer has just released Straight Shooter Juicy Dill Pickle Hard Seltzer. Shiner first entered the hard seltzer market August 2020 with the release of their four flavor hard seltzer variety pack. Since then they have added a Lemonade Hard Seltzer variety pack and Tall Tails a cocktail inspired hard seltzer variety pack. While some may be surprised at the creation of a dill pickle flavored hard seltzer I stopped being surprised at any flavor when Jones Soda released a Turkey and Gravy flavored soda in 2003. It sold out in two hours and was followed up with the addition of Mashed Potatoes and Butter, Green Bean Casserole, Wild Herb Stuffing, Brussels Sprout, Salmon Pate, and Broccoli Casserole flavored sodas. Juicy Dill Pickle sounds tame compared to those flavors. All Shiner hard seltzer’s are made from a cane sugar alcohol base. Straight Shooter Juicy Dill Pickle is made with real dill pickles from Brew Master Jimmy Maurics family recipe with natural flavors including distilled white vinegar. Read more 
Review: Blind Pickle Hard Seltzer
Blind Pickle Hard Seltzer was recently released. If you were expecting Deep Ellum Brewing Company to play it safe in selecting their hard seltzer flavors you obviously haven’t tried their line of craft beer. While this is the worlds first Pickle flavored hard seltzer, there are already several pickle flavored vodka brands, including Deep Ellum Pickle Vodka. Pickle is one of five hard seltzers currently crafted by Deep Ellum Brewing Company in Dallas Texas. The other flavors include Blind Lemon, Blind Lime, Blind Peach, and Blind Berry. Blind Lemon was the first hard seltzer they released in October 2019. It is named for blues legend Lemon Jefferson who began his career on the streets of the Deep Ellum Neighborhood. Each flavor is made with water, alcohol from cane sugar, natural flavors, citric acid, and carbon dioxide. Blind Pickle is the first of a rotating seltzer series of Limited Release hard seltzers planned at Deep Ellum. Read more
