The Key West “Sunrise Shandy” – American as Key Lime Pie

Beer itself has always been the drink of choice during these hot summer months and is synonymous with BBQ’s and the Fourth of July. So this weekend instead of getting the usual mass-produced tasteless swill, why not zest up your party with a little help from us at the Florida Beer Company. Now normally we wouldn’t encourage messing around with our fine hand-crafted brews, but we have come up with a beer cocktail that is truly an American Original, The Key West “Sunrise Shandy”.

Not only is this libation crisp, tart and refreshing, but pulls the taste of Florida into every sip. With a nice citrus nose, cold crisp lime tartness, followed by that ever so subtle wheat finish this drink will be the life of any weekend gathering. This drink will inspire you to lay back and just melt away into a state of pure relaxation.
