Saranac Summer Brew

Date August 23, 2010

Saranac Summer Brew, (not to be confused with the Saranac Summer Ale) is one of these Shandy type beers where lemonade, or lemon soda is added to a lager to create a lemony beer hybrid. Typically enjoyed during the warm summer months, these beers sport low alcohol levels (3.5% ABV in this case) and blur the lines of if its really a beer, or if its really alcoholic lemonade!
