Harpoon Brewery releases UFO Big Squeeze Shandy for Summer 2014

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.

“Our UFO beers are about adventure and fun,” says Harpoon CEO and co-founder Rich Doyle.  “UFO Big Squeeze Shandy is  a refreshing to complement this great season in New England. 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.”
