It just keeps getting bigger and bigger\u2026\u00a0Corpus Christi loves it. It\u2019s a great time,\u201d said Cale Moore, co-owner of Nueces Brewing Company.<\/p>\n<p>Moore says the festival has expanded significantly over the years, now featuring more vendors than ever before, including local food trucks and businesses putting their own spin on pickle-inspired dishes.<\/p>\n<p>Pickle Fest takes place Saturday at Nueces Brewing Company located at 401 S. Water St. Doors open at 11 a.m., with festivities running until about 6 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got tons of local vendors\u2026 each one is doing something special for this event. It\u2019s super special to get everyone together,\u201d Moore said.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s festival includes an expanded menu of pickle-themed offerings, including pickle wings brined in pickle juice and multiple specialty pickle beers brewed specifically for the event. One of the new highlights is a spicy chamoy dill beer called \u201cDeal with the Devil,\u201d alongside returning favorites like the brewery\u2019s signature pickle beer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith pickles, it\u2019s always good. The problem is whittling it down\u2026\u00a0everything is delicious when you put a pickle on it,\u201d Moore added.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond food and drinks, Pickle Fest also features family-friendly entertainment, including face painting, a vendor marketplace, and a mechanical bull redesigned as a \u201cmechanical pickle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBring the whole family, come have some fun\u2026 even bring your dog,\u201d Moore said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Organizers say the goal is to make the festival welcoming for all ages, blending food, creativity and community into one signature event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nueces Brewing and BBQ expands annual PickleFest with pickle wings, specialty beers, marketplace vendors, and family-friendly activities.&#13; &#13;&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":221516,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[155,157,156],"class_list":["post-221515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-corpus-christi","tag-corpus-christi","tag-corpus-christi-headlines","tag-corpus-christi-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221515","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=221515"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221515\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/221516"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=221515"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=221515"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=221515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
