Pittsburgh Pickle Co. Briney Mary

Introduction

Do you like to try new things? I am always up for trying something new, especially when it’s a bloody mary mix that has briney in the title! I personally love any bloody mary that has brine whether that be olive or pickle and Briney Mary was everything I hoped for and more! 

Briney Mary is the first beverage product of Pittsburgh Pickle Co. and each Briney Mary bottle is made with fresh ingredients and Pittsburgh Pickle Co.’s signature brine. The combination of Pittsburgh Pickle Co.’s signature brine and their zesty, flavorful, hair of the dog bloody mary will have you getting your bloody mary brine on! Brine on: verb; doing the happy dance when the brine hits your tastebuds.

Let’s Take it Back

Back in 2014, three brothers from Pittsburgh came together and established Pittsburgh Pickle Co. The brothers have strived to produce quality pickles, and now a bloody mary mix that not only tastes amazing but captures the spirit of Pittsburgh.

“Our pickles are a product of hard work, years of recipe perfection, and brotherly love. As brothers, we knew we always wanted to work together, but never guessed it would be while making pickles. We started making all-natural pickles in the back of our bar and before long, realized people loved what we made. It wasn't overnight though, it took some tweaking, and maybe even a few brotherly wrestling matches - but today, we're very proud of our pickles.”

As a former 4 year resident of Pittsburgh, I can attest to Briney Mary delivering on their mission to capture the spirit of the city. The bloody mary mix serves as a metaphor for the transformation of the former Steel City to one of the most “green” cities in America, hear me out……

Pittsburgh, a city that once was the steel capital of the world, was a city in total darkness. Soot and pollution from the steel mills filled the air, blanketing the sky even during the day. Fast forward to the present day and, “Pittsburgh has undergone one of the most dramatic environmental transformations in American history, and now has more green square footage than any other city.”*1

Although the city has transformed, the grit of the hard-working people has never left. When I sipped Briney Mary for the first time, I tasted that very grit in the spices and craftsmanship of the mix and I was reminded of my time living in Pittsburgh. Much like the transformation of Pittsburgh, Briney Mary will rejuvenate you after a long night or give you some extra pizazz lacking in a lot of sub-par bloody mary mixes.

What Are You Waiting For

If you don’t trust my opinion, which I hope you do by now, trust the opinion of 12 bloody mary industry experts who recently awarded Briney Mary two platinum medals at the 3rd Annual Drunken Tomato Awards! Winning the highest honor in both the mild and unique categories, Briney Mary’s bloody mary mix certainly made an impression on the panel of judges.

Now that I’ve had the opportunity to drink it at home, I’m convinced Pittsburgh Pickle Co. has to be one of the best tasting bottled mixes I’ve had EVER, and I don’t say that lightly. The Pittsburgh Pickle Co. brine combined with the fresh horseradish and plethora of spices creates layers of dimension for a bold mix. Brine Mary embodies the spirit of Pittsburgh and delivers on quality and flavor.
