Product Information

Experiment with creating your own version by trying different types of beer with different soda or fresh juice flavors. Nowadays, the best Radlers in Central Europe are a mix of Hefeweizen and Grapefruit soda (Schöfferhoffer Grapefruit) and a combination of lager and grapefruit soda (Stiegl Radler). The Best Radlers A radler lightens up a beer. Since radlers are essentially ‘lagers cut by lemonade,’ they typically only hit around 4.0% ABV or under. Generally speaking, heading to the pub in European drinking culture means you’re in for a long night of pints. But getting publicly blotto is considered a party foul. Since there are only so many beers you can drink at 6.0% ABV, the radler is a perfect alternative. Radlers are like lagers with a twist, right? So, why not try them when you’d find yourself grabbing a lager? Yes! In recent years I’ve seen more and more Radler options at grocery stores in the US. We’ve tried Stiegl Grapefruit Radler and Bitburger Radler so far (both grapefruit flavor, which seems to be the most popular Radler flavor in the US).

There’s never a wrong time to reach for a radler, but there’s no better time than now. A drink that has endured for almost 100 years is worth adding to your drinking rotation. Maceration allows lemon rinds to express their natural oil, creating a more aromatic and flavorful drink. While the term Radler has been widely attributed to Kugler, the combination of beer and soda is documented in texts dating from 1912. [3] Nowadays, Radler is consumed not only in Bavaria, but also in all of Germany, Austria, Czechia, Hungary, Italy, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Poland, Portugal, Netherlands, Norway, Bulgaria, United States, Canada, and Romania. In any case, you will get a healthy, lower-calorie, and low-alcohol beverage. Compared to beer with up to 10% ABV and approximately 400 calories, homemade Radler is a much more desired drink with 2 to 4% ABV and only 130 calories. German Radler OptionsIf you can actually believe it, I wasn’t a beer drinker before moving to Germany. But what is an even odder twist of events is that the beer that I fell for first in Bavaria was a Dunkel (dark) beer….not even some “easier to drink” light beer. Nope, I headed straight for the liquid bread! Find sources: "Shandy"– news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR ( September 2013) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)

Beginners welcome! Radlers, as explained above, are a two-part drink, with one part being beer and the other being a mix of either grapefruit, lemonade or a sprite. As such, the taste is something completely unique in the alcohol business and the main goal of the drink is to be refreshing and lite.It’s a testament to the radler that people still go about blending lemonade and lager even today. Though this drink is more prevalent in its homeland of Germany than the United States, it’s appreciated in the land of NEIPAs and pastry sours nonetheless.
