TASTE OF SUMMER. For the first time ever, Summer Shandy will be available year-round – and is getting infused into taffy. (Submitted photo)

For all you Summer Shandy stans, your moment has finally arrived: Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy beer is officially hitting the shelves year-round. Plus, you can also enjoy it in taffy form thanks to a new collaboration that infuses taffy with both the beer and Great Lakes water.

The new treat is like saltwater taffy minus the salt. Lakewater Taffy is infused with genuine filtered lake water from Lake Huron as well as with Summer Shandy, and the treat is now available for a limited time online. Crafted by Taffy Kitchen – which pulls its taffy the old-fashioned way using a vintage 1913 machine in Michigan – the candy is available in packs of 12 for $6.99 (and while it doesn’t contain alcohol, it’s intended for those 21+).

And even though summertime is coming to a close, Summer Shandy is stickin’ around. Leinenkugel’s officially announced on Monday, Aug. 26, that the beer will be available 12 months of the year.
