Shandies are a generally accepted thing, and they’re half lemonade half beer, so this really isn’t some wild, out there concoction.

    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.

    Isn't that just a shandy? Or is that lemonade

    Weiss beer and grapefruit juice is the best.

    • 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.

    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.

    A splash of OJ or Sprite at the top of your beer is a great hangover drink. Irish buddy taught me that.

    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?

    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.

    Watched one of my friends put beer in his cereal on vacation because we didn't have milk. Apparently it was good
