Ingredients

16 servings

1 ½ cups session IPA
1 cup apple cider vinegar
¼ cup granulated white sugar
2 tbsp kosher salt
1 tbsp whole black peppercorns
2 tsp red pepper flakes
3 medium Kirby or Persian cucumbers, (sliced or cut into spears)
5 sprigs fresh dill

Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine the beer, vinegar, sugar, salt, peppercorns and red pepper flakes. While stirring, bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook just until the sugar and salt dissolve, about 3 minutes. Remove the brine from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
Pack the cucumbers into an airtight container. Add the dill. Pour the cooled brine over the cucumbers, making sure everything is submerged.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving. Store in the refrigerator as is for up to 1 week, or use proper canning techniques for shelf storage.
