WHERE DID ALL THE GOOD PICKLES GO?
We’re two guys from Vancouver (Chris and Scott) who couldn't find a good tasting pickle on the West Coast. So we decided to start a pickle company to always have our own supply of good pickles. And where do you find the best tasting pickles?
That's easy, New York. Just ask Scott Kaylin a born and bred New Yorker who says “It’s 120 years of pickle making history rolled into one great pickle." But it's a lot of things mixed together really like the best ingredients, hard work, and a desire to stop at nothing until you get the perfect taste.
We serve Jalapeño, Kosher Dill, Half Sour, Horseradish, Mustard, Spicy Dill and Full Sour pickles. We also have sweet pickles like Honey Mustard and Bread and Butter. And they're all served deli-style right out of pails, like old school Lower East Side New York.
Serve them cold with a West Coast IPA, with charcuterie on a beach watching Floatplanes land, or simply leaning against your fridge.

Q. What is with all the plastic?
A. Reducing our carbon footprint is important to us, which is why we designed the Pickle Growler, it’s an Italian lock-lid jar with engraved pickle on it, just bring it back for a fill any time you need pickles. We also package all of our pickles in PP containers, they are food safe and reusable.
