    I'm trying to gather a list of items to go after. I just tried Best Maid pickle beer by Martin House and I'm in love! I also enjoy micheladas on the reg and love the idea of craft cans when I don't feel like making my own or buying the regular commercial ones (although I hear the SOL canned michelada is great. haven't been able to land that one)

    So I know about Martin House: Best Maid pickle, spicy pickle, bloody mary, and the hot wing beer. Also been told Black Laboratory has a brew called Puro San Antonio (cool-aid pickle beer with mexican hot sauce!)

    Can anyone else contribute to this thread?

    Also RIP Billy Joe Shaver, if any of ya Texas boys or gals enjoy true outlaw country music.

    I think Martin House had a Hatch green chile beer last year as well. (Didn't try)

    Every year Martin House releases their Salsa Verde seasonal beer.

    Urban Artifact (though not a Southwest brewery) has a bunch of pickle beers. Had the Spicy Pickle Gose via Tavour, was def interesting.

    Avoid the new Rahr michelada beer unless you plan to mix it with tomato juice or Clamato.

    I was able to get my hands on Best Maid Spicy pickle beer and it is my favorite yet. Better than reg and bloody mary.

    I had Hopfusion Ale works El Gran Pepinillo a couple months back and was not a fan.

    Just saw this on the shelf Freetail Puro Pickles (Probably the same as the Black Lab Puro you mention above). Also saw a michelada beer on the shelf, but not normally something I pick up and look at. For a treat make a michelada out of a cucumber gose that you have muddled a jalapeno in. Nice combo
