The shandy is a mixed beer drink that consists of beer and lemonade . In Austria, Radler is grammatically masculine (the Radler ). In north-west Germany, the term Alsterwasser or Alster corresponds to the cyclist , in Switzerland and in French-speaking countries one speaks of Panaché . In Württemberg and Bavaria , the term Russ or Russe is also known, but it is used to a limited extent for mixed drinks made from wheat beer and lemonade.

In Germany, after the amendment to the Beer Tax Act 1993 , Radler can be sold ready-mixed in bottles or beverage cans, whereby beer tax is also due for the lemonade portion.

Mixed with beer with cola - see mixed beer drink .

history

Under the name "Shandy", mixed beer beverages were already being served to British troops in the 19th century. It is possible that the cyclist was invented under this name at the end of the 19th century in one of the mostly social democratic cycling clubs. The Bavarian writer Lena Christ mentions in her book, Memories of a Superfluous from 1912, the serving of “Radleaus”. Since the story described goes back to 1900, there should already have been cyclists at that time.

According to a widespread story, Franz Xaver Kugler is said to have invented the shandy around 1922 when he threatened to run out of beer in the Kugler Alm - an excursion restaurant in Oberhaching in the south of Munich that was mostly visited by excursionists and cyclists .

According to a story, the “Russ” or “Russ'n-Maß” was created in Munich's Mathäser -Weißbierkeller, where communist supporters of the Munich Soviet Republic (the “Russ [e] n”) often met at the time of the revolution in 1918 . Because they wanted to keep a cool head by consuming less alcohol, or because the wheat beer was running out, this is said to have been mixed with lemonade.
