Comments:

Check out the Craft Beer Channel for this series of films about Fizzy Sour Cola Bottle Shandy.

This all grain recipe kit is for the Helveticus Kettle Sour beer that Jonny brewed to pair with Square Root Cola for a Cola Shandy.

The beer is a lemon and lime citrus sour that as well as pairing well with cola is a great beer to drink on its own or to even learn the skills of making your own sour beer.
