Press Release:
(Burlington, VT) – Introducing Curious Traveler Shandy, the remarkable thirst-quenching fusion of long-standing European tap hall tradition and American craft brewing ingenuity. Like his forebears, Curious Traveler mixes ale with other things to create a sensation that’s a bit like an ale that’s like no ale you’ve ever savored before.
His recipe begins with a crisp light American, craft wheat beer brewed to stop dehydration dead in its tracks. To this ideal start we add cooling fresh lemon and a gentle kiss of real lime. The extraordinary flavor that results from this fruitful union is the one everyone’s been waiting for.
Though Curious Traveler is revolutionary, the idea behind it is hardly new. For the shandy itself is a time-honored ritual practiced for decades by inventive Europeans, who routinely mix their ale with citrus, cider, or even ginger beer to create a drink far more restorative than any of its parts could ever be alone. As our Curious Traveller himself says, it’s “quite the refresher!”
The House of Shandy Beer Company was founded to take this decades-old art and bring it to America. As its first offering, Curious Traveler sets a new standard for what a shandy can be … and his journey is picking up steam. He roams now from New Hampshire to Illinois, Tampa to Minneapolis. Ten territories in all and in all he’s making lots of new friends. Now his adventure continues to travel, and not only on draft but in new six-packs, too.
Soon, he’ll be joined by his good friend, Tenacious Traveler (who we lovingly call, TT), and together the two will show America what it’s been missing.
