What's a shandy?

Our central topic of debate today. Some bartenders said a shandy was beer and ginger ale; others said beer and lemonade. (At least we agreed on the beer part.) But luckily, it's the year 2010, and cell phones can access the internet. So we quickly found out through wikipedia that a traditional UK shandy has carbonated lemonade, and shandygaff has ginger ale, and a German version uses carbonated lemonade as well, which they call a "Cyclist."

Why did we care so much? Well, right now we're serving up Free State Wheat State Golden for $2 a pint -- or, you can get a shandy made with it for $2. So when you come in to order a shandy, you can specify whether you want it with lemonade or ginger ale.

Or both. We tried it with both at the same time -- we're calling it "Pachamama's style" -- and it's worth a try at $2 a pop.
