Sloshie series and
Proper Brewing Co.’s Death in the Afternoon (8% ABV) are recent releases that will tantalize your taste buds and get you reconsidering how you might enjoy your next craft brew. The Slurry is the triple-fruited sour-beer base that
Shades uses to make the Slushie and Sloshie, which are literally beer slushies. Nodding to cocktails,
Proper’s Death in the Afternoon is their Lei Effect Gose aged in rum barrels. They’ve also aged their Mexican-style, imperial amber lager, Libre, in reposado barrels to create Well Rested (7.5% ABV), coming July 9.
“Last summer, our Head Brewer, [Márcio] Buffolo, wanted a refreshing summer drink, like a slushy. So, he took our beer [and] put it into a slushy machine.”
