Beer of the day – Union Red Orange Radler
Jul20
So, I’ve been going on about how nice radlers are. I’ve met my match. This one broke me. Waaaaay, waaaaay too orangey. I’ll return to my grapefruit radlers now.
PS: recipe for grapefruit radler:
Mix equal parts grapefruit juice and beer (some sites suggest using hefe weisse, but anything should be fine). Sit on a patio under an umbrella on a hot sunny day. Repeat. ( for the original lemon radler, substitute yummy yummy lemonade!)
PPS: Radler is german for cyclist. Maybe this is what we should be drinking at the halfway point, Dan.

So… how is a radler different from a shandy?
Shandies typically use ginger ale, radlers use lemonade. Though every time I’ve had a shandy in England it’s been made with lemonade (aka sprite). So… eh. The radlers I’ve been having here have been mixed with lemonade a la sunkist and actual grapefruit juice.
