US-based National Bohemian Beer (Natty Boh) has introduced Crab Shack Shandy, the brand’s first new beer to hit the market in more than 30 years.

Crab Shack Shandy is a light golden-coloured lager with notes of lemon and orange zest accompanied by a roasted malt flavour. It has a white foamy head and a quick, dry finish.

Natty Boh brand manager and Baltimore native C-Mo Molloy said: “We are incredibly excited to introduce Crab Shack Shandy. Natty Boh has been a staple of this region since 1885, and our hope is that the Crab Shack Shandy will continue to build upon that legacy.

“We worked hard to create a brew for the summer season that truly represents the same laid-back, ‘pleasant living’ philosophy that the Chesapeake region is known for.”

“Crab Shack Shandy is a nod to simpler, more leisurely days and we hope our fans will raise a glass together whether on the Bay, at the ballpark or at a crab feast with friends and family.”

The new lager has an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 4.2% and international bitterness units (IBU) of 15.

The new seasonal beer is available across the US in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia and the District of Columbia until the end of the August this year.

Crab Shack Shandy will be offered in 16oz can six packs with a suggested retail price of $8.99 and in 12oz can twelve packs costing $14.99.
