Shandy

A traditional Shandy is a beer mixed with a little something extra like lemonade, fruit juice, or even soda. With a balance of sweet and tart flavors, this light-bodied style delivers a crisp, refreshing finish.

Featured Beer

Weiss beer with natural grapefruit flavor

Glassware

A weizen glass is best for this beer because the shape locks in aroma and showcases the beer’s color. You can also pour this beer into a pilsner glass.

Food Pairings

Cheese: Shandys add a bright, fruity contrast to earthy cheeses like Brie or Fresh Chevre and meld well with the cheese’s creamy texture
Savory Meats: The sweetness in these beers contrasts the saltiness of holiday hams or cured meats perfectly. If you’re looking for something more casual, pair this style with turkey sandwiches made with leftover cranberry sauce or brisket with a citrusy BBQ sauce.
