Artisan Shandy Shack (from Hampshire)

Shandy Shack (Hampshire) is a great brand of low-alcohol ready-made shandy, founded by some men who still liked to have fun, but were getting a bit old to deal with hangovers! These vegan drinks have around 25% of the alcohol of a typical can of beer. Check medication before consuming ginger. 

No alcohol can be 0% booze, as even fruit and bread contain a little alcohol. But 0.5% is the main percentage used. It is safe to drive, but it’s best to avoid even this amount, if pregnant or nursing.

Before recycling, pop the ring-pulls back over the cans, to help avoid wildlife getting caught inside. Set up a can recycling program to raise money for your community! Never buy beers wrapped in plastic rings, they harm wildlife (if you see any, rip the holes and securely bin).

Sold in various flavours (elderflower, ginger, raspberry).

If you can’t find this brand in shops, to make your own shandy, just mix your favourite artisan vegan beer with Fentimans Victorian lemonade (brewed in Northumberland to a 100-year old Botanical recipe, this has pear and herbal notes).

Raspberry Lagers and Ciders

If you fancy something fruity and different, Shandy Shack has released a lager and cider, both in refreshing fruity raspberry flavours.
