Rickard’s Shandy a Refreshing Summer Beverage

shandy

 

When I think of summer, there are few things that come to mind. Sitting on the back deck with my family and friends is one of them. We love being outside. I love looking out to my yard and seeing the kids enjoying the summer.  Add enjoying a tasty refreshing beverage to this and life is perfect!

I have never been much of a beer drinker myself but it has always been hubs drink of choice. I enjoy light beers, or citrus beers. Something a bit unusual is my thing. I knew when I heard about the Rickard’s Shandy that I needed to try it out.

I really liked this Shandy. I found it was not heavy and the lemony taste was very nice. Perfect for the summer. To make it extra great, I enjoyed it under my new umbrella. We have to keep this redhead in the shade after all 🙂

This umbrella is quite heavy but so stylish. Looks great on my deck. Heavy wooden pole with decorative top (unscrews in the middle for storage) , black shade and Rickard’s graphics on the umbrella. So excited to sit out back and enjoy a few more summer drinks under this. 

RICKARD’S SHANDY™

This time-honoured beverage has been mouthwateringly crafted by combining Rickard’s premium lager with classic lemonade. With a taste as refreshing as a dive in the lake, and as lively as a patio party, it’s the perfect complement to your favourite summer moments. Pairs well with seasonal dishes like grilled salmon—just be sure to serve with great weather and even better friends.

Available just for the summer the Rickard’s Shandy is great served with BBQ. 

Giveaway time! 

1 lucky Canadian is going to win an umbrella just like mine. Must be legal drinking age to enter.

  132. It’s only some of the place online though, the trick to buying an inexpensive and exquisite looking prom dress would be to research prices rather than leave purchasing dress for the previous minute. However, when you want those, you should search for the expensive Bridesmaid Dresses. And additionally it is very casual, that makes bride feel comfortable, intimate, and fun.
