This style of beer is globally known as Radler, which is German for cyclist. However in NZ Dominion Breweries copyrighted the name Radler for the Monteiths version of the style, much to the dismay of beer aficionados. However at 2.4% ABV Green Man’s is more in keeping to that style. In 1920’s Bavaria a publican running low on beer and expecting an influx of cyclists and hikers added lemonade to his beer so that it would go further telling his customers that it would be just as refreshing and stop them from falling off their bikes. The idea caught on and now Radler’s are made all over the world.
