Slice cucumbers into spears or rounds, depending on your preference.
In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of beer, 1 cup of white vinegar, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Heat until the salt and sugar dissolve, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a quart-sized jar, place a couple of garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon of mustard seeds, a few sprigs of fresh dill, and 1 teaspoon of pickling spice.
Add cucumber slices to the jar, packing them as tightly as you can without bruising.
Pour the beer brine over the cucumbers, ensuring they're fully submerged. If needed, add a little more vinegar or water to cover.
Seal the jar with a lid and shake gently to distribute spices.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, though they’re best after an overnight soak to fully absorb the flavors.
Enjoy your Beer-Brined Pickles with burgers, sandwiches, or as a zesty snack!
