It appears that there is a whole pickle juice sub-culture that I had no idea existed. The trade association for the pickle industry even has this serving suggestion...
"You've heard of squeezing a wedge of lime into your beer. Now, adding some dill pickle juice to your brew could be the next craze. Stir 1/8 cup dill pickle liquid into 12 ounces of your favorite beer and garnish with a pickle spear or baby dill. "
I like the way they confidently predict this could be the next crazy. However, in a British pub you'd probably have to substitute pickled egg vinegar as they wouldn't have any dill pickle liquid. Maybe I should email them and find out if this would make a difference...
Hmmm. I may try that.
Thoughts: isn't favorite beer a bit of a broad term? I mean, this sounds more of a lager thing, than a 'pickle my Guinness' movement...

That's great. A bit like pimp my ride - 'pickle my pint'.
I think you'd get some strange looks asking for it in a pub though.

Been doing this for years...
1/8 cup clamato + 2 tablespoons of picklejuice + 12 oz lager.
It is fantastic.
