Rookie mistake. You use Almdudler for that.
I haven’t tried that but it sounds like a crime towards both beer and almdudler.
Man, I gotta get me some almdudler.
The fuck I thought I got onto Lemmy for a second, I DO THAT. LİPTON PEACH İCE TEA WTİH BEER
I really didn't expect this comment section to make me actually want to try it...
it makes beer far better than what it is usually, if it wasn't for the after taste I would consistently drink it
(After taste of beer. I hate the aftertaste of beer.)
Shandies are a generally accepted thing, and they’re half lemonade half beer, so this really isn’t some wild, out there concoction.
On top of that, fruit IPAs are a thing as well. They're not my thing but other people like them so, good for them I guess.
Yeah, but complaining about bitter and then adding more bitter to improve it makes no sense. They didn't say they added sweet tea.
Iced tea usually has tons of sugar.
That's sweet tea in northern America. Unsweetened is the default here.
It's sweet tea in the United States.
In Canada "Iced Tea" means "sweet tea" most of the time
Why are people downvoting you? Iced tea in Canada is sweet. Think things like Brisk or Nestea. If you order iced tea at a restaurant here, it's coming out if the same machine as the pop (syrup+water) just not carbonated.
As a PNW beer snob, I used to make shandies out of the Ranier 30 racks that would be left at our house after a party. I didn't like the beer at the time and mixing it with lemon San Pellegrino made it delightful.
I now drink Ranier proudly when I can since I moved to Chicago. I love this city but I still bleed green, white, and blue.
Radler ✅
Alcohol-Free Beer ❌
- Radler: beer & lemon soda
- Berliner Weisse: beer & raspberry syrup
Those are the two I know; there are others.
The Germans, who among all people are known for their long and storied association with beer above all else, regularly mix beer with random stuff. If they do it, I'd argue it's more normal than American purism.
Shandies are called Radler in Germany, and many hate them so much that there are well known songs hating against them. To be fair, they are songs you'll only hear on parties, after a few shots and beers, but still.
Radler is no Bier!
A splash of OJ or Sprite at the top of your beer is a great hangover drink. Irish buddy taught me that.
That sounds like an Archer thing: “I’m afraid if I stop drinking the cumulative hangover will kill me”
This is actually basically how a lot of "hard iced tea" and "hard seltzer/wine coolers" type drinks are made. It's just the most flavorless piss beer with flavors added because that's cheaper than adding grain alcohol to thinks to spike it cleanly.
TIL shandy is not "sham brandy" as in non-alcoholic (??) brandy but what we call Radler. Learning all kinds of things today. Thank you OOP.
I've had a singular alcoholic beverage and tbh it wasn't good and I felt nothing. What's the crime of mixing with ice tea?
Liquor in tea? Delicious.
Beer in anything? Disgusting.
A Radler is a German thing, shandy in English. Basically half lager half lemonade. Fantastic light drink. I've seen them at Total Wine in a few flavors.
Beer cocktails are a thing. Drink what you like.
Prost.
