Beer Cocktails! Introducing Barsmith Shandy; First Cocktail Mix Made Especially for Beer

January 17, 2016 San Francisco, CA – Winter Fancy Foods Show, Booth #256

Barsmith, a leading provider of craft quality bar essentials and mixers is proud to announce Barsmith Shandy, the first cocktail mix made for beer cocktails.  Formulated with all natural ingredients, Barsmith Shandy makes any beer extraordinary!

Despite the growth in the craft beer market in recent years, no cocktail mixes have been created specifically for beer. Barsmith Shandy does just that! Available in 12.7oz (375ml) bottles and line priced with Barsmith’s bar essentials line, Barsmith Shandy is the perfect way to customize your favorite beer into a delicious beer cocktail. Made with real Hops and Citrus, Barsmith Shandy is a reimagined way of making a traditional beer shandy, a classic European drink typically made with lager or pilsner beer and lemonade. Barsmith Shandy allows customers to choose the perfect flavor profile based on their taste desires.

Created for professional craft bartenders and at home consumers alike, all Barsmith products, are made using only All-Natural, Non-GMO ingredients, and formulated to proprietary recipes using exacting standards. Barsmith makes it easy to make top quality bar cocktails at home and provides new, customer pleasing, mix ingredients for even the most discerning bars and restaurants.

“Using only All-Natural and Non-GMO ingredients, mixed at exacting proportions, Barsmith products are setting a new quality standard for mixes without adding a premium in price over conventional, artificially flavored mixes.” said Bob Angus, CEO of Four Blue Palms, Inc. “We expect the market for beer flavorings and mixes to develop rapidly as consumers discover the variety of enhanced tastes possible as they customize their own “Beer Cocktails”.
