Beer cheese soup is a real thing and it is actually really, really good. I've never heard of the pickle in the beer thing and I think he was probably just trying to get you to do something gross.
Excellent, about the soup. I never put a pickle wedge in my beer but when I lived back there & was drinking we'd go out all the time. And w/ every beer they would both throw one in their glass. I thought it was strange.
