Summer Shandy is a refreshing beverage that combines beer with lemonade or lemon-lime soda. This drink is popular during the warmer months, as it offers a light and zesty flavor that is perfect for outdoor gatherings and barbecues. The beer used is typically a wheat beer or lager, which complements the citrusy notes of the lemonade. The origins of Summer Shandy can be traced back to Germany, where similar beer and lemonade mixtures are enjoyed. In the United States, various breweries produce their own versions, making it a widely available and beloved summer drink.
