Beer gardens are hardly phenomena unique
However, since 2014 these outdoor drinking fests have been offering a new item on the menu, one that will — depending on your personal palette — either delight or disgust: frozen beer cocktails.
I’m not sure they might be called in the U.S., but I remember enjoying a “slush puppy” drink every time I went to the local bowling alley in the summer back in Scotland. A slush puppy was a drink made of crushed ice infused with fruit-flavored syrup. Not too dissimilar, perhaps, from the Japanese shaved-ice kakigori.
Now, these beer gardens are offering slush puppies (or kakigori) for adults. These cocktails combine crushed ice, beer and a variety of fruit flavors. My personal favorites are the grapefruit and tomato beer cocktails, but I recommend you try a variety to find your favorite. As you with all beer gardens in summer, these also offer a great selection of food but tend to fill up very quickly so be sure to book ahead, especially if you are going in a big group.
