Beer & Me

It is a light summertime drink that’s regaining some popularity here in the US. It has long been popular in Europe and is enjoying a resurgence in the US as beer drinkers here are looking for more their beer than the same-ol-same-ol.

The shandy is very easy to make just mix beer and lemonade – about equal parts but adjust to your taste. That’s it; no special glasses are required or complicated mixing rules. Just fill a glass about half way with lemonade then top it off with beer. The best are lightly hopped lagers or ales, mainstream American style lagers like Bud or Miller work just fine.
