LCBO Food & Drink Summer 2021

A refreshing combination of fruity watermelon and spritzy weissbier is the perfect foil to cut through spicy, smoky turkey wings.

WEISSBIER &WATERMELON RADLER (recipe on page 170) German-style weissbier, like Side Launch Wheat ( LCBO 10075, 473 mL, $3.45) or Hacker Pschorr Weisse Bier ( LCBO 247486, 500 mL, $3.65), is a re- freshing, wheat-based ale, defined by its lively carbon- ation and its unique yeast, which lends a spicy, fruity, bubble gum character to the beer. The addition of watermelon juice accentuates the fruitiness. Perfect to enjoy on its own outside on a sunny day, it also makes a quenching foil for spicy and salty foods.
