According to the website, the specialty seltzer will be launched this summer in 11.5-ounce cans, with only 100 calories, zero sugar and 5% ABV. 

“What started as a joke is officially real,” Crook & Marker posted on Facebook this week. “We’ve teamed up with @bru.mate to bring you Afternoon Dillight — a one-of-a-brine pickiliscious experience that packs a crunch (and a buzz). This is a limited release dropping this summer, so get on the pre-order VIPickle list to make sure you don’t miss out.”
