BOSTON, May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A collaboration fans couldn’t get enough of – between Grillo’s Pickles, the pickle company known for changing the pickle game, and PopUp Bagels, the beloved “Not famous but known” bagel and schmear shop – is making a triumphant return. The duo is back and butter than ever as they go where they’ve never gone before: a limited-edition butter made with Grillo’s Pickles. Chill out and eat Hot Pickle Butter.

Get it while it’s hot! The limited-edition butter will debut exclusively at all PopUp Bagels from May 28, 2026 through June 10, 2026. It’s available while supplies last each day and will only be in stores for two weeks!

“We’re pumped to reunite with a brand that, like us, has a loyal following and hear what both our passionate fans have to say about our latest creation,” said Mark Luker, Chief Commercial Officer at Grillo’s Pickles.

The Grillo’s Hot Pickle Butter builds on the success of Pickle de Gallo Schmear, the collaboration the two previously cooked up when they’ve joined forces over the past two years. And it opens the door to a whole new world of possibilities for how Grillo’s Pickles and PopUp Bagels can come together to spread a breakfast shockwave throughout the country.

“At this point, Grillo’s is one of those brands we’ll keep coming back to,” said Adam Goldberg, founder of PopUp Bagels. “A great bagel with a great pickle just works. Both brands take familiar things people already love and push them somewhere louder, bolder, and a little unexpected. Hot Pickle Butter felt like the obvious next move.”

The Grillo’s Pickles Hot Chips featured in the limited-edition butter are just like the brand’s OG pickle chips, but with added fresh habanero and jalapeño pepper in each jar for the right amount of heat. Like all Grillo’s snacks, they’re made with simple, garden-fresh ingredients (no artificial anything) and cold-pickled for maximum crunch. They’re the perfect addition to butter from PopUp Bagels, which is known for no frills and using the essence of simplicity.
