Two local businesses are teaming up to make the coolest beer treat around.

Beer slushies.

Steve Hartman of WoodGrain Brewing Co. in downtown Sioux Falls said he's seen it done elsewhere, but said the idea to make beer slushies here came to him when he was drinking a frozen margarita at a restaurant.

"We just wanted to bring something fun and partner with a local business that does a similar thing with sorbet, and Chris is a talented guy," he said.

That's Chris Hanmer, owner of C.H. Patisserie and Parlour Ice Cream House.

The beer slushies are technically sour sorbet slushies, made from combining WoodGrain's Berliner base sour with Parlour's Strawberry Lemonade, Mango and Exotic sorbets.

The slushies will be available at WoodGrain at 4 p.m. Friday and 1 p.m. Saturday. A slushie costs the same as a regular 10-ounce pour: $6.50.

Hartman says if the slushies prove popular, WoodGrain will keep them coming back, serving them up at its location at 101 S. Phillips Ave.

"If it goes well we're looking at doing it every weekend throughout the summer," he said. "Whatever new base Chris has, we'll incorporate it into the slushie."
