Huge fan of shandy beers of all kinds, really been into Coors Light Summer brew lately. A third of the cals and carbs of a normal Shandy. Highly rec'd

The name “Mean Shandy” is a nod not only to the Meantime Brewery, which produced the draft beer that this cocktail was first made with, but also to the fact that, with the addition of bourbon, this shandy is far stronger and tougher than the average lager shandy the British are familiar with.–Pitt Cue Co.
[h=6]LC Shake With Caution Note[/h]Although it sounds like a a dance warning, please do shake your Mean Shandy with caution. That’s the essence of the warning conveyed by the authors to you, dear reader. The caveat goes something—actually, it goes exactly—like this: “Shaking carbonated liquids in any quantity presents possible hazards, so make sure the shaker is tightly sealed. Open carefully once shaken.”

It's an old photo I forgot to post until I was back at the office, poor timing!!! But still tasty!!!
 
Anyone try the leine pumpkin Shandy yet? My local store is supposed to get some in this week.
 
DOJ needs to investigate these creeps. Pumpkin and Shandy is bordering on criminal behavior. Leinie's has sold out.

LOL he's financially backing them on Kickstarter. I'm waiting for him to burst in here with his trophy pictures. I know it's coming.
 
I have read this post with intrigue - firstly because a shandy as I know it is basically a good beer ruined with lemonade, but in reading this I feel I am missing out on something ..... dam New Zealand being behind the times so to speak

Down here we have seeing a big increase in popularity of flavored ciders and "for purpose" beers

I was recently involved in a tasting panel for one of the breweries who were preparing to release their 2nd version of a "summer Ale" - basically your normal beer with a few additional goodies in there designed to appeal to the sunny summer afternoon drinker (we are just heading into our spring/summer) and after the sickly sweetness of the last years efforts that meant after 2 or 3 you couldn't handle the flavor any longer I was pleasantly surprised to see these now were really nice and something I was looking forward to trying more of, well now after reading this thread I again feel like there is something missing in my beer fridge ...... I will have to investigate this shandy culture a little more and see what one can find

Snickerdoodle stout.

/mic drop




Seriously, though. The new Leinny options look awful. Pumpkin shandy sounds disgusting. Cranberry shandy only seems appropriate if you have a UTI.
 
Oh snap.

Grapefruit & Ginger shandies
