📜 History
Legend credits Munich innkeeper Franz Kugler with inventing the Radler in 1922. When a cycling group arrived at his beer garden and he was running low on beer, Kugler stretched his supply by mixing it with lemon soda. He called it "Radlermass" (cyclist's liter). The drink became a German institution, now available premixed throughout the country and beyond.
