When the days are long and the sun is hot, we, the people, deserve a day to relish in the refreshment. So step away from your desk, turn the AC on high, grab your bathing suit and ice down the beer. Let’s make the most of the dog days of summer and raise a glass to National Refreshment Day!

Inspired by the European pub classic, The Traveler Beer Company brews a craft beer shandy that’s a nod to tradition, but flowing with American innovation. Rather than mixing ale with a citrus flavored soda or lemonade, Traveler’s shandys are American craft wheat beers made with real fruit and fruit juices, such as lemon and grapefruit, making for a refreshingly approachable and sessionable craft beer.

Traveler Grapefruit Shandy, the flagship beverage, is an American craft wheat ale made with real grapefruit. Other Traveler styles also showcase real fruit ingredients including Curious Traveler, made with real lemon and lime, and IPA Shandy, with an IPA-base and notes of grapefruit. The Road to Refreshment begins here with Traveler!
