I have frequently reused pickle brine in recipes asking for vinegar. It has more interesting flavor than regular vinegar.
I have no idea if it can be reused for pickling though.
Bread and butter pickles got their name because bread and butter together are sweet. According to egullet.com, bread and butter pickles are named such because during the Depression, they were as regular a part of a diet as bread and butter. The difference between bread and butter pickles and sweet pickles is just a few ingredients. Sweet pickles use cinnamon, cloves, and allspice in a vinegar-sugar brine. Bread and butter pickles are made with turmeric. mustard, and onion in a vinegar-sugar brine. I looked for a definitive answer from some kind of pickle-expert, but wasn't able to find one. It seems as though the history of the name of Bread and Butter pickles is carried on through

There are 2 general types of pickles or gherkins: sweet or sour. The tastes are created by the solution they are pickled in. "Brined" pickles get their sour taste from fermentation, as opposed to the vinegar solutions used for other pickles. Other types of pickles are kosher-type (sour or half-sour), bread-and-butter pickles (a sweeter taste), lime pickles (which may also be salt pickled), and Swedish thin-sliced pickles.

You may reuse brine only if it is to refrigerate something such as refrigerator pickles. If it is cloudy or murky, do not reuse. Also, you cannot use pre-used brine for canning.
Vlassic dill pickles typically use kosher salt in their brine solution. This type of salt is preferred for its purity and larger grain size, which helps in flavor and texture. The brine also includes vinegar and various spices, contributing to the distinct taste of the pickles.
