The 'Traveler Beer Company' is brewing a line of refreshing citrus beers that offer an interesting take on the classic European shandy. A shandy is a popular drink in Western Europe, which combines beer with lemonade, soda, ginger beer or another type of carbonated beverage. The unique combination creates a refreshing beverage that is perfect for hot summer days.
The 'Curious Traveler' drinks offer a new twist on the European shandy by combining American craft wheat ale with fresh lemon and lime juice. The beer itself has a crisp and light body, which is perfectly paired with the addition of bright citrus flavors. The result is a refreshing drink that has a more invigorating flavor than the average craft beer.
Beyond the lemon and lime variety, the Traveler Beer Company also produces a zesty grapefruit shandy and a tart apple ale.
