📜 History

The Shandy originated in Britain, where mixing beer with lemonade or ginger beer became popular in pubs. The name comes from "shandygaff," a 19th-century British term for beer mixed with ginger ale. Germans call their version a Radler (cyclist), supposedly invented for tired cyclists who needed refreshment without too much alcohol.
