Raspberry Lager 2.5% | Shandy Shack
A crisp pilsner topped with bottlegreen raspberry cordial. The fruitiest of the range, and still dry at the finish.
The raspberry comes from bottlegreen cordial, so it smells like actual fruit rather than confectionery. Underneath it is a clean pilsner with enough cereal character and bitterness to stop the whole thing turning into a soft drink.
Every Shandy Shack sits under 2.8% ABV, which works out at no more than one unit per 330ml can. That is the whole point of the brand: a drink you can have two of on a weeknight without writing off the next morning.

FAQs
Is this a soft drink?
No. At 2.5% ABV it is an alcoholic drink and it is sold as one - it just contains about a third of the alcohol of a normal beer.
How is a beer gluten-free if it is made from barley?
The gluten is broken down during brewing and the finished beer is lab-tested to confirm it sits under 20ppm, the legal threshold for a gluten-free claim. Coeliac drinkers are generally fine with it, but if you react to very low levels it is worth knowing the beer starts from barley.
Which one should I start with?
Elderflower if you want light and floral, Raspberry if you want fruity, IPA if you actually like hops, and Ginger Beer Shandy if you want a bit of heat.
Shandy Shack started in 2018 when three friends went looking for a way to cut their units without drinking something worthy. They pair proper craft beer with real soda instead of lemonade from a hose, and everything in the range is vegan and certified gluten-free.
