Pabst Blue Ribbon has teamed up with Grillo’s Pickles for a new limited-edition pickle beer that was revealed during NACS 2025.
In an Instagram post, Snackolator showed cans of ‘Grillo’s Pickles Pabst Blue Ribbon Pickle Beer,’ which is expected to launch around May 2026. The green cans feature branding from both companies, combining Pabst’s traditional logo with Grillo’s signature pickle design.
“Pickle… BEER?!,” he said. “Pabst Blue Ribbon has teamed up with Grillo’s Pickles for a new PICKLE BEER, and I am intrigued and horrified. Arriving in stores next spring.”
Two iconic brands join forces
The collaboration pairs one of America’s oldest beer makers with a modern pickle favorite. Pabst Blue Ribbon, founded in 1844, remains one of the most recognizable names in U.S. brewing. Grillo’s Pickles has built a loyal following for its all-natural, fresh-pack pickles stocked in major grocery chains nationwide.
The release also follows a surge in pickle-inspired foods and drinks across fast food and retail. Earlier this year, KFC introduced its “Pickle Menu,” a limited-time lineup featuring fried chicken dishes topped with tangy pickle sauce and garnishes. It also featured a new pickle-flavored Pepsi that was exclusive to the fast food restaurant.
