Recently read a blog post about combining beer with limeade. Supposedly fantastic for a hot summer’s day. I believe it. Reminded me of the Radlers I used to drink in Germany. Radler is a light beer combined with 7-Up or Sprite. It’s apparently also known as a Shandy. We also drank Diesels in Germany too. That’s dark beer combined with Coke or Pepsi. I recall someone telling me the point of it was to be able to drink as much as possible without getting too drunk. Such silliness. I found a listing of different soda/beer variations on Wikipedia. Turns out there’s a lot of different versions! I remember years ago in Trenton there was the Champale brewery. It was in a big brick building and on the side of the building they had hand-painted their Champale logo. I miss seeing that sign. The drink was a combination of beer and Champagne. I never tasted it. Apparently it’s still being made. I would like to know how it tastes… it must be better than how it sounds.
