There are two types of people in the world: pickle lovers and people with absolutely zero taste in the finer things in life. When I see someone toss the pickle they got as an add-on with a sandwich, I become infuriated (slight dramatization… but only slight).

I personally love pickled everything, from pickle-flavored chips all the way to drinking straight pickle juice. I’m an animal for those crunchy green treasures.

So you can imagine my absolute joy when I found out that on April the 25th there's a MAJOR Pickle Fest going down in Loveland via Loveland Aleworks.
