Mixed beer drink
Beer drinks or beer mixed drinks are made from beer and soft drinks (often sodas ) mixed or other additives. Freshly prepared mixed beer beverages have been widespread in restaurants and households since the beginning of the 20th century at the latest , most of the variants falling under the term Radler . However, there is a multitude of regionally different names that replace “cyclists” or denote a special case. Since 1993, a change in the German Beer Tax Act has allowed beverage manufacturers to offer and sell ready-made mixtures as ready-to-use bottled or canned beers ; previously they were freshly prepared exclusively in restaurants or privately. According to Section 1 (2) of the Act, mixed beer beverages are mixtures of beer with non-alcoholic beverages that are to be assigned to heading 2206 of the combined nomenclature . The same is true of the Austrian Beer Tax Act, the Swiss Beer Tax Act expressly includes "additives obtained exclusively through fermentation". Previously, such mixtures had to be freshly prepared. Not only in the context of commercial pre-bottling, variants with non-alcoholic beer are now widespread. The mixed drinks with the highest sales in Germany are beer / lemonade mixes with a share of over 40 percent, i.e. v. a. Cyclist.
In addition to mixed beer beverages within the meaning of the German Beer Tax Act, there are countless other mixed beer beverages worldwide, some with alcoholic additions, which are not always clearly referred to as "beer cocktails". For example, the Altbierbowle or the men’s set are mixed beer beverages, which, however, clearly differ from the “Radler” type in terms of ingredients, preparation method and dosage form. Such borderline cases are the variants " Berliner Weisse Spezial " or " Fliegender Holländer " described below .
history
Mixed beer beverages such as Shandy, also known as "shandygaff", were popular in England as early as the 18th century . In the first decades of the 20th century at the latest, mixed beer beverages became known in the German-speaking area, initially only regionally and with different names: "Alsterwasser" in and around Hamburg , "Potsdamer" in the Berlin area and "Radler" in Munich . Presumably not by chance, these three cities were strongholds of a German enthusiasm for England at the turn of the century, which resulted in various leisure activities, so that the emergence of mixed beer drinks can certainly be seen in connection with excursion tourism. While Alsterwasser and Radler were originally exclusively beer with lemonade (or “sour Radler” with mineral water ), “Potsdamer” was understood to be a mixed drink made from beer and raspberry lemonade. Due to the division of Germany and alpine tourism in the west, the popularity of the cyclist spread northward within the borders of the Federal Republic of Germany , when mixed beer beverages - also in the course of the gradual tightening of the regulations regarding drunk driving - became known across the board. By developing new soft drinks, e.g. B. fruit nectar or energy drinks , the number of mixing options has expanded.
