Natty Boh's First New Beer In Decades Is Crab Shack Shandy

BALTIMORE, MD — Although some Natty Boh fans might ask why you'd mess with perfection, the National Bohemian Beer Company said it plans to release Crab Shack Shandy, its first new beer to hit the market in over 30 years. The seasonal shandy is available throughout the Mid-Atlantic through the end of the summer.

Natty Boh Crab Shack Shandy is available in both 16-ounce and 12-ounce cans in Maryland, Virginia and the District, as well as Pennsylvania and Delaware.

"We are incredibly excited to introduce Crab Shack Shandy," said C-Mo Molloy, Natty Boh brand manager and Baltimore native. "Natty Boh has been a staple of this region since 1885, and our hope is that the Crab Shack Shandy will continue to build upon that legacy. We worked hard to create a brew for the summer season that truly represents the same laid-back, 'pleasant living' philosophy that the Chesapeake region is known for."

Crab Shack Shandy is a golden straw-colored lager infused with notes of citrus and a hint of lemon and orange zest.

What do you think? Are you ready for summer shandy Natty Boh?

"Crab Shack Shandy is a nod to simpler, more leisurely days and we hope our fans will raise a glass together whether on the Bay, at the ballpark or at a crab feast with friends and family," Molloy said in a news release.
