How it is made

To make a beer with lemon, you must first choose your favorite beer. Then follow these steps:

  • Choose your beer: It can be pilsener, wheat or lager, light beer and of course very cold.
  • 2. Choose a lemonade: It can be with or without gas, but make it fresh, some also make it with lemon slush, a great combination.
  • 3. Pour the lemonade first: Carefully and carefully so that it does not lose its gas.
  • 4. Add the beer: Little by little, don't make too much foam but be careful, don't make the panache without foam either, remember that it's essential that it has two fingers so that the beer doesn't rust and maintains its taste.
  • 5. The proportions: There is debate here but I will tell you that the 4 part lemon 6 beer blend is the best, although that goes a bit to your taste. Remember that you can also add ice to the egg white as you see in the picture.

History of Pale Ale


The Radlers were born in 1922 to Franz Xaver Kugler, a barman who was previously a railroad worker. One day he decided to enter the world of the hotel business by setting up his own biergärten in the area of Bavaria, in the village of Deisenhofen, Munich, under the name of Kugler Alm.

After World War I, cycling became a fashionable sport, and Kugler knew that this could benefit him given the location of his biergärten. His premises were located between the specially built bicycle lanes.

One Saturday in June 1922, a large crowd of cyclists ended up stopping at Kugler Alm. Such was the number of people who gathered at his place that he suddenly caught Franz Xaver Kugler. The beer reserves he had available would not cover the current demand, so Kugler decided to combine his beers with lemon juice. In this way, all customers would be satisfied with a beer they had never tasted before, the Radler.
