Offering an unlikely flavored pickles blend is retailer Preservation & CO with its Hfeweizen Bread and Butter marinated vegetables that are made to taste like toast. While the combination might seem a bit bizarre, pickles are often incorporated as a topping onto sandwiches so the two do go a bit hand-in-hand.
Taking inspiration from packed lunches, the Hefeweizen Bread and Butter pickles are a packaged in a wheat beer that gives the vegetables a doughy and savory taste. The aroma is infused with cider vinegar and sugar to provide contrastingly sweet notes. The combination of notes give the pickles a refreshingly light taste and crunch that is ideal to be enjoyed on its own or served slice in sandwiches and the like.
