Up For A Handy Shandy…?

Life’s what you make it…

atest press release from Kilcoole’s Rí-Rá Brewing Company, issued on Thursday, July 10th 2025…

Rí-Rá Premium Irish Lager, the independent brewery making waves across Ireland, is proud to announce the launch of its latest innovation: Rí-Rá Lager Shandy.

Bursting with bright, juicy flavours of pineapple and grapefruit, this fresh take on a classic lager shandy is a celebration of summer in every sip. At just 2.8% ABV, it’s light, lively, and perfectly suited for long days and being le chéile a little more often.

Irish-owned and proudly brewed in Kilcoole, Wicklow, Rí-Rá has quickly built a reputation for award-winning beer with fair pricing at its heart. In a time when many multinational brewers are hiking prices across the board, Rí-Rá is proud to stand by its promise to freeze its prices for two years, continuing to provide premium quality without the premium price tag.

“We wanted to create something playful, light, and genuinely refreshing for the Irish summer,” Stuart Kinch, Co-founder and Managing Director of Rí-Rá. “Rí-Rá Irish Lager Shandy is inspired by a fun 1990’s retro visual style that’s very much in vogue now. The lower alcohol content at 2.8% ABV is the perfect moderation beer for that summer back garden beer moment”

The shandy joins Rí-Rá’s flagship product, their light and fresh premium Irish lager, which has become a favourite among informed drinkers looking for an independent alternative to mass-market beer.

Available in 440ml cans at ALDI, this Rí-Rá Lager Shandy is the totally tropical choice to escape Irish weather this summer. Mentally, anyways.
