Story behind the beer: Donna was backstage at The Garden eating pickles from a jar. In a flash of light, she was pushed onstage and kissed full on the mouth by a beer-drinking Mick Jagger. It was electric! No, not the kiss! The taste in her mouth, beer and pickles! That night Donna’s Pickle Beer was born.
