Move over hard seltzers. Step aside slow mornings. The original easy-drinker is back – and it’s had a serious glow-up.
As footie fixtures keep fans up later than usual this summer, drinkers across the UK are reaching for lighter libations that can go the distance. Because if the Three Lions are heading into extra time, nobody wants to be tapping out before penalties.
Shandy Shack is leading the charge to bring shandy out of retirement and back where it belongs: in parks, pubs, festivals, gardens and anywhere good times happen – and that includes footie games.
This is Shandy reimagined – refreshing, fruit flavour-led, gluten-free, vegan, brewed with quality ingredients. And with all of our shandies coming in at 2.5%, that’s some seriously good times and much lighter vibes.
Born in 2018 when a trio of friends – including an NHS Doctor who still practices today – started experimenting with craft beer and natural mixers in search of something lighter than the usual pint to drink after sports, Shandy Shack has grown from a pop-up bar into a much drunk brand stocked across the UK – M&S has even started a range with Shandy Shack too which is selling like hot cakes! (Or should we say, shandy).
Tom Stevens, Founder of Shandy Shack says,
“We started Shandy Shack because we couldn’t believe nobody was giving Shandy the love it deserved.”
Today, it sits at the centre of a growing shift towards lighter, sessionable drinks – as consumers choose flavour, balance and longer occasions where you can enjoy every moment.
Shandy is back!
