Following the success of our ‘Stiegl Summer of Radler’ cocktail competition, we're encouraging customers and members of the public to create their own Glühbier and winter Radler cocktails.
Launched in the UK earlier this year, Stiegl Himbeere is a raspberry radler produced using Stiegl’s iconic Goldbräu lager, mixed with their homemade raspberry lemonade. At just 2% ABV it’s a supremely refreshing drink with the raspberry element adding a touch of sweetness to the beer. It’s also perfect for mixing into cocktails, perfectly matched with some of the spices and savoury flavours commonly associated with Christmas and winter.
In the lead up to Christmas, we’re also offering four kegs of Stiegl Himbeere for the price of three, in the hope that Stiegl Raspberry Radler cocktails will become a festive menu staple at customers’ sites around
the country.
We’ve also shared a selection of Winter Warmers for inspiration, from a classic Glühbier made with Stiegl Himbeere to a ‘Christmas Thyme’ cocktail featuring a simple thyme syrup, through to ‘Festtag Fizz’ inspired by champagne cocktails, perfect for sipping on Christmas morning.
