It seems hard to believe but there was a time in my life when I hated the taste of beer. Like most children, I developed a liking for my dad’s when I was something like 8 years old and would try to steal sips of his Labbatt “Twist Shandy”. I’ll never forget the name despite the fact that it hasn’t been around for a very long time. I just found out that it was first introduced by Labatt in 1985 which is fitting as I first introduced that year too! I digress. Those initial sneaky gulps of the pale golden brew were delicious. When I hit my teens and could FINALLY sneak out and drink more than just a taste when heads were turned, I thought it tasted like shit. I didn’t know anything about different brands so all I tried was Labatt Blue or Molson Dry, beer that I still kind of think tastes like shit. I'd force it down anyway but I never truly enjoyed it like I do now. Thankfully, I have matured and my options expanded. I've found so many better beers and have grown to love and adore it again, just like when I was sneaking it from my old man.

All this to say, I would like to thank Twist Shandy, and my dad for introducing me to beer. I wish they would make it again so I could review it here instead of trying to remember what it tasted like when I was a child.
This is the only picture on the internet that I could find :(


Thank you
