Although choosing the right lemonade plays a big role, the key to a good shandy is the beer. The taste and the harmony of the mixed drink stand or fall with the brew: if the brew is too mild, it cannot assert itself against the fruity sweetness and acidity of the lemon, if it is too strong, the liveliness and freshness of the citrus fruit is lost. The perfect shandy combines the best of two worlds and is off-dry, wonderfully refreshing and bitter-sweet.
An extremely successful candidate is the Radler from Huppendorfer. The Grasser family uses their smooth beer for their interpretation of summer enjoyment. The shimmering copper specialty combines rich malt with robust bread, aromatic blossom honey and a mild bitterness. For the shandy, this successful creation is married with a sparkling, citrus-fruity lemonade. At the end there is a subtly balanced drink that pairs the advantages of beer with the playfulness of lemonade and is a real treat for the palate, especially in the warm months.
Due to its feather-light 2.6% alcohol content, this shandy is a perfect thirst quencher. The mixed drink tastes wonderful on its own, but it also goes well with Mediterranean dishes, white meat or a hearty snack.
