If you are a fan of Leinenkugels Summer Shandy you will be in luck, as this summer they are releasing Orange Shandy along with a few more new beers in 2013. The following comes from www.beerpulse.com.

 Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company is set to introduce some new brands in 2013, according to the Inside Eau Claire podcast.

Representative, CJ Leinenkugel, made a brief appearance and discussed some of the company’s new brands in addition to a new keg system that it installed at the end of January.

First up will be Orange Shandy this spring. BeerPulse just reported on this one last week. Leinenkugel didn’t give too much away in terms of specifics but did mention that it will be part of a summer sampler pack of cans (sounds like this may be a new shandy sampler pack with Summer Shandy and Lemon Berry Shandy but we’ve reached out for clarity).

The Big Eddy Series will bring with it two new offerings in 2013, expanding the line’s portfolio to six.

Big Eddy Rye (Wheat) Wine will come out in June. Big Eddy Imperial Oktoberfest will come out in August.

Rounding out the new releases in the first few quarters will be Leinenkugel’s Hoppin’ Helles. He wasn’t certain whether this would be a mid or late summer release but to expect to see it debut sometime between July and September.
