Typically, a radler (the German word for “cyclist”) is known for being light in alcohol, but the addition of a shot of juniper-driven German gin ups the gear ratio. The Radler’s Haus Helles, made by Flesk Brewing, is available exclusively at the restaurant, so unless you have the hookup, Stiegl Pilsner will do nicely in its place.
