    Who the f*** posts an answer to a question that was written 9 years ago. Taking the retro angle a little too far I think!

    I said it 9 years ago and I'll say it again now; that's not what the OP was talking about.

    Hi, I'm the OP and I endorse this reply.

    Just to clarify, 9 years ago were you talking about something like bass shandy?

    Shandy Bass
    In the UK there is also a carbonated soft drink called Shandy Bass, introduced in 1972. It is a shandy made with Bass beer, which is mixed such that it contains 0.5% ABV. It is made by Britvic.[38] Its greatest popularity is in Northern England.[36]

    Rock Shandy is lemon and orange

    Yeah, it was something like that. Even 9 years ago I'd forgotten what it tasted like so I can't tell you much else. I do seem to remember people referring to it as 'Rock Shandy' even though (I think) its proper name was Club Shandy. Like I said before, I never liked the stuff anyway so I didn't really notice/care when it disappeared because I only ever had one or two cans of it.

    I would buy it if it came back. Tried the Aldi and Lidl ones and just don't taste the same.

    OT, I remember Club Shandy, it was lovely.. Us kids used to feel like real badasses drinking it on account of the 0.01% Volume :pac:

    The great thing about Club Shandy is you could buy "beer" no matter what age you were :D

    There was another one called Top Deck. I think it was a bit stronger?

    A huge coincidence, I came across this thread the other day and had a quick read. Wasn't too sure what ye were on about because I was just starting school around the time this stuff went off the market but definitely remember drinking it!

    Then as I was driving in towards town on the Navan Road about an hour ago I popped into the Mace and spotted a brown can, of Shandy! Alas it was the Barr brand rather than Club. I don't know if this is the same as the ones they have in Aldi/Lidl??

    Having never tasted this type so it I bought it anyway and checked the back of the can, it read 'Not more than 0.5% by volume alcohol'

    Here's a pic, i'm just about to crack it open and see what all the fuss is about!! :D
