There's a New Pickle in Town

photo by craig cavalloShamus Jones started Brooklyn Brine in 2009. Their blog refers to the brand as the "Green Market of pickles." Always a locally driven brand, Brooklyn Brine relied on different commercial spaces around the city to make their products. Jones recently acquired a space in Gowanus and now Brooklyn Brine is a locally driven brand that works exclusively out of 574A President Street, where they make Curried Squash, Moroccan Beans, Chipotle Carrots, and a wide variety of pickles all under one roof.

Some of the pickles at Brooklyn Brine are barrel-fermented, which takes place in spent barrels courtesy of Finger Lakes Distillery. The signature whiskey sour pickles are made in old McKenzie Rye Whiskey barrels. BB currently has gallons of garlic scapes and ramps fermenting that will revealed when the venue begins holding classes in the coming weeks.
