Pair this seasonal beer with barbecue chicken, fruit salads, watermelon, and fresh-caught grilled fish. The shandy was first introduced by Franz Kugler after a bicycle race in Munich in 1922. His tavern was overrun by thirsty cyclists, so he cut his German beer with lemonade and soda so they wouldn't run out. Leinenkugel Summer Shandy carries on that tradition to this day.
