Two types of "real" shandy are ready to hit the on-trade thanks to St Helier — Ginger Beer Shandy and Real Lemonade Shandy.

Two types of "real" shandy are ready to hit the on-trade thanks to St Helier.

St Helier Real Ginger Beer Shandy, made with two parts lager to one part ginger beer, and Real Lemonade Shandy, made with two parts lager and one part lemonade, are 3.5% ABV drinks packaged in a 500ml brown glass bottle.

"It is our belief that shandy has enormous potential and once again we are ahead of the curve with this launch," said MD John Mills.

"St Helier Real Shandy is a grown-up drink for those who want an alcoholic beverage that is truly thirst quenching and refreshing, but is at the lighter end of the ABV spectrum. Shandy has all the characteristics that made cider so extraordinarily successful, once it was rediscovered by a new generation."

ICB has also announced it will add new flavours to its St Helier Pear Cider line up.

Cherry and blackcurrant flavours will now join the portfolio.
