The Harpoon Brewery is pleased to introduce UFO Big Squeeze Shandy, an unfiltered wheat beer blended with all natural grapefruit juice. This seasonal offering from the brewer’s UFO series, a line of unfiltered beers, has hit the shelves just in time for summer in bottles, cans, and on draft. Sweet with a hint of tartness, Big Squeeze Shandy is a New England summer treat.

The combination of the grapefruit juice with the unfiltered wheat beer is a fantastic blend. It will be a staple in my fridge for the next few months.”
