Three years ago, Sherman’s 903 Brewing owners Jeremy and Natalie Roberts were in Florida at a beer festival, when they encountered a decidedly unusual beer style from Indianapolis’s 450 North Brewing Company. Situated next to the brewery’s booth at the festival, the Robertses noticed that 450 North’s line seemed constantly packed with people itching to try its slushy-style beers.
“We were wondering why people wanted these beers so much,” Roberts says. “And then we tried it and saw how refreshing it was. We said, ‘Look, no one else in Texas is really doing a slushy-style beer, and we need to.’”
