Shandy is poised for a revival as the trend for no- or low-alcohol beer drinking driven by younger people is helping to fuel a thirst for craft versions of the traditional tipple.
Supermarket sales of so called “nolo” beer, wine and spirits have surged by 50% over the past year to exceed £200m for the first time as more young people go teetotal and established drinkers look to cut back.
Beer start-ups are turning their hand to making good nolo beers and even giving 70s favourite shandy a fresh spin. Next month Sainsbury’s will start selling the craft brand Shandy Shack in all its stores. At £1.80 a go, the cans of “elderflower lager top” promise a “punchy pilsner lager with a splash of crisp elderflower pressé” and have a 2.5% alcohol by volume (abv) ratio.
