We had left over pale ale and sparkling lemonade from a party so instead of our customary Sunday bloody mary, Zach suggested we make a Shandy. We mixed them 50/50 lemonade and beer. The results are very drinkable, which is good because I was planning to make this my standby when we go to Oktoberfest this fall in Munich, where I'll be ordering it as a Radler (German for cyclist). I figure if I'm going to drink nonstop for several days and plan to keep up, I better have a less alcoholic fall back or I'll be under the table in no time.
