The Gloucester Citizen described the shandy as both a "delightful beverage" and "poor man's champagne" in 1902. One man reportedly drank 55 pints in one night (via Mark Dredge). In 1918, American Christopher Morley agreed, "Shandygaff is a very refreshing drink, being a mixture of bitter ale or beer and ginger-beer, commonly drunk by the lower classes in England, and by strolling tinkers, low church parsons, newspaper men, journalists, and prizefighters" (per Merriam Webster). In time, the name shandygaff was shortened to shandy, and the ordered rounds continued.
As Brits guzzled shandies, a thrifty Bavarian bar owner by the name of Franz Xaver Kugler began slinging radlers (radler means "cyclist" in German) for thirsty cyclists (per Eater). With his beer supply running low, Hop Culture reports Kugler resorted to adding lemonade to his dwindling supply to refill empty glasses and keep the pack satisfied. To sample the invention for yourself, American Craft Beer recommends pairing a lager with lemonade, grapefruit, or ginger juice in something close to a 50-50 ratio.
