Bottled or canned shandy is a drink made by mixing beer or lager with a soft drink, usually lemonade. It mainly provides water and carbohydrate, with some alcohol and only trace amounts of fat and protein. Per 100ml, it contains 100 kJ of energy, 5g of carbohydrate, including 5g of sugars, and 0.7g of alcohol.
Both sugar and alcohol contribute to its energy content, which is relevant for people monitoring their sugar or energy intake. Although shandy contains less alcohol than standard beer or lager, it is not alcohol-free. It provides only small amounts of vitamins and minerals. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.

About these figures
Values are per 100ml of the food as described (<1% ABV, typically 10-12% beer or lager. 10 cans, 4 brands). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.
