What's a Half Sour?

A half sour pickle is a dill pickle that was not left in the brine long enough to fully ferment into a full sour pickle. Unlike a full sour pickle, a half sour is still green and crisp.

It’s also a new restaurant and bar in Chicago’s Printer’s Row neighborhood.

We’re open for business so come on in!
