Press Release:

(Burlington, VT) – Traveler Beer Company – innovators behind Curious Traveler, Tenacious Traveler and the newest, Time Traveler – have taken a traditional European drink and given it new life with an authentic American version. The original, a pub Shandy, is a mix of lager and lemon soda. However, Traveler Beer Company has introduced a version inspired by the recent American passion for high quality, craft beers. Traveler’s Shandys, both on tap and bottled, are craft beers actually brewed with refreshing flavors such as lemon/lime, ginger/honey and strawberry. Flavorful, bold, refreshing and sessionable, these are Shandys for beer lovers.

Traveler Beer Company’s Shandys have been available in most central and southern East Coast states, as well as parts of the mid-west, for about a year. With the addition of Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont and Maine, the company is slowly expanding reach and accumulating new fans. Of the three Shandys, Curious Traveler, a vibrant American wheat ale brewed with fresh lemon and lime, giving it a distinctively fresh flavor, is the original – and is also available on tap at bars and restaurants. Tenacious Traveler is an American wheat beer brewed with real ginger and clover honey offering a bit of spice and warmth. Time Traveler, the most recent addition, is a vibrant wheat beer, brewed with real strawberry, for a refreshing, flavorful drinking experience. Tenacious Traveler and Time traveler are both available in bottle only.

Unlike Europeans, American beer drinkers were initially led to believe that a Shandy is a seasonal beer by early marketing efforts of mass beer makers – but Traveler’s Shandys are here to prove otherwise.

Based in Burlington, Vermont, Traveler Beer Company has now released three year-round Shandys- all inspired by European tradition, but brewed with an American spirit of innovation. Newman, a veteran of the U.S. craft beer movement, created this series of refreshing, playful and decidedly American Shandys in an effort to continue expanding the American appreciation for craft beer.
