Tag: Shandy alcohol content

According to NHS figures, some pints of strong lager can contain up to 222 calories, leading many to seek lower-calorie alternatives like shandy. But does diluting a beer with lemonade actually make it a healthier choice, or are there hidden nutritional trade-offs to consider?

Did you know that commercially produced shandies can have an alcohol by volume (ABV) that ranges from less than 1% to over 4.5%? The question of how strong is a shandy hinges entirely on two key factors: the strength of the beer used and the ratio of beer to mixer, making it a surprisingly customizable drink.
