Otter Nouveau 4.7% (Brewed in collaboration with Crisp Malting to celebrate the 50th harvest of Maris Otter) Sept 2015 When I told Dad about the lemonade mix up with the classic shandy, he couldn’t believe it. I suppose now it’s too late to get the message out as all of the shandy recipes I found online are use the wrong type of lemonade!

Egads! 😱 Grapefruit shandy: This variation uses grapefruit soda as the mixer: but you can also use grapefruit juice, soda water and simple syrup. It makes a sweet and citrusy spin.UPDATE: So much has been discovered since this post originally went up, about the dangers of quinine in people with quinine sensitivity. Big thank you to reader Jonathan for providing this informative link about this. I’m leaving this post up as an archive, but I encourage you to read that article first, and if you… But the invention of a clever mixture of beer and lemonade would have older origins.
