RADLER--WONDERFUL GERMAN BEER/LEMONADE CONCOCTION
I spent some time in wonderful Munich Germany last fall and found myself drawn to the beer taps to ask for Radler after Radler. I was a solitary traveler just trying to soak up some of the culture and was so curious what they were mixing up with their beer as I watched them pour. So I asked and have tried to make my own version with what we have to work with here in the US.

RADLER
Radler means 'cyclist' in German, and this refreshing drink was invented in Germany in the late 19th or early 20th century as a way to refresh bicyclists worn out by the summer heat. It is a 50/50 or 60/40 mixture of beer and lemonade and is a delicious addition to the menu of your summer barbeque or party.

"RADLER MASS" (GERMAN BEER COOLER)
As I watch my dear food network right now, it's on Dinner Impossible with Robert making meals from beer, and this reminds me of something I learned when I was living in the southern part of Germany. I figured I should share this as we don't get anything like this in the U.S. but it's really good. I normally don't like beer that much because it's too bitter for my taste most times, and German beer is the strongest I know! Anyway, this recipe can be made with any kind of beer but dark beer works really well. The combination sweetens up the beer a little, lowers the alcohol content even more, and gives it a unique taste, it's a little sweeter and less bitter, I guess you could call this the German version of a wine cooler... try it for your next party, even those who don't normally choose beer as their drink at a party will like it.

Steps:
- Take equal parts of beer and lemon lime soda over just a little ice to keep it chilled; be careful it will foam up a lot so take it slow. As you come to taste it, you can change how much beer or soda - if you really like beer the combination can be 3/4 beer to 1/4 soda (or vice versa if you don't like beer that much but want a taste of it). In Germany, at least where I lived in the Bavarian area in the south, this is very popular with the young people. Worth a try! :).

Tips:
- Choose a light and refreshing beer for your radler, such as a German pilsner or wheat beer.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
- Adjust the ratio of beer to lemonade to suit your taste. For a more tart radler, use more lemon juice. For a sweeter radler, use more beer.
- Garnish your radler with a lemon wedge or slice for a festive touch.
- Serve your radler immediately, or chill it for later.
Conclusion:
A radler is a refreshing and flavorful drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your taste. So next time you are looking for a new drink to try, give a radler a try. You won't be disappointed.
