Saw this on the back of a Bowen Island Easy Radler can and had to share "Made popular in Germany when cycling, so a rider wouldn't end up in a ditch. We might call it a pacer" At only 3.2% ABV that would make sense lol Here's another version of the story: "The 1922 legend goes…. an owner of a bar in Bavaria, short on his supply of beer, became threatened by a group of cyclists because they were thirsty from their travels. In distress, the bar owner mixed whatever beer he had with lemonade." https://staminist.com/read.php?1,799,799#msg-799 Sat, 02 May 2026 06:11:34 -0500 Phorum 5.2.19 https://staminist.com/read.php?1,799# https://staminist.com/read.php?1,799# "Made popular in Germany when cycling, so a rider wouldn't end up in a ditch.
