Beer
Frasher was inspired to create hazy IPAs by New England style pioneers Hill Farmstead, the Alchemist, and Tired Hands. They focus on fresh beers and use the tag line: "Culture of Fresh." Before production started under their label, Slice brewed collaboration beers with established breweries like Cellarmaker, Moksa, and Urban Roots. In 2020, they became the first brewery to win people's choice for both the double and triple IPA styles at the Bistro's Double and Triple IPA Festival. The people's choice award is voted on by festival attendees, which numbered around 1,000 in 2020.References
