Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy

Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy is a wheat shandy brewed in Milwaukee. At 4.2% ABV with just 11 IBUs, it sits at the lighter end of the spectrum, emphasizing refreshment over assertive bitterness. Shandies traditionally blend beer with a non-alcoholic ingredient—typically lemonade or ginger beer—to create a hybrid that appeals to those seeking something between beer and a soft drink. This particular expression balances the wheat beer's characteristic smoothness with the shandy format's inherent approachability, making it a straightforward choice for beer lovers exploring lighter, fruit-forward territory.
