Refreshing Brew Blend: Raspberry Shandy
Hey There!
This delightful drink we were referring to, it's more like a European version of a shandy, but with a twist - let's call it a Raspberry Shandy. Instead of using bitter beer and soda, we're teaming up a smooth wheat beer with low hop bitterness and something fruity and refreshing - a raspberry lambic!
What's Needed: Grab a wheat beer with a moderate hop bite, such as Erdinger Hefe-Weizen, and a raspberry lambic, we adore Timmermans Framboise Lambicus.
This recipe has made its mark in our special series, Cheers to Beer Refreshers!
