Lemon Heady Cold Brew Shandy: A Sip of Summer, Canned

The Lemon Heady Concept: Lemonade and Coffee?!?!?

Coffee meets citrus. Spark meets chill.

We started with a question: What if cold brew didn’t have to taste like cold brew?

Don’t get me wrong—I love a thick, syrupy glass of cold brew on its own, but sometimes I crave something even more chill. 

So we put it to the test:

• We brewed our signature cold brew to a slightly lighter strength—still full of body, but less bark.
  

• We added a house lemonade base—balanced,  sweetness.
  

• Shake it lightly to bring the whole thing to life.

The result is a cold brew shandy that walks this tightrope between zingy lemonade and smooth, cold-brewed coffee. It’s like your favorite iced tea and your favorite coffee got together and decided to chill.

Lemon Heady Cold Brew Shandy: A Sip of Summer, Canned

Ready for something bright, bold, and completely unexpected? Lemon Heady Cold Brew Shandy just dropped and it’s not your average canned drink.

This is a cold brew shandy, a 60/40 blend of Heady Cup Coffee Roasters specialty medium roast and bright, zesty lemonade. The result? A crisp, citrus-forward drink that’s refreshing, complex, and unlike anything else on the shelf.

It’s summer in a can.

No milk. No sugar bomb sweetness. No artificial lemon flavor.

Just smooth, small-batch cold brew, subtly lifted by real citrus and brewed to feel like a tiny celebration in every sip.

For People Who Want Something Different

This is the drink for:

• The sober-conscious crowd who want something to sip that feels social but isn’t alcoholic

• The coffee lover who wants an afternoon pick-me-up that’s not heavy

• The curious drinker who craves flavor, not filler

There’s caffeine but not too much. Just enough to lift you through a hot afternoon or lazy lake day.

There’s a sensory synergy here that’s hard to describe unless you’ve tasted it.

The lemon cuts through any residual bitterness. The coffee anchors the drink. The sparkle resets your palate between sips.

Made with Heady Cup Coffee Roasters' traceable, sustainably sourced beans and built from a collaboration with co-packers who helped refine the perfect blend, Lemon Heady offers something cold brew cans just haven’t touched yet.

Why Lemon Heady Stands Out

• Fully Blended Flavor: It’s not a squeeze of lemon in your cold brew—it’s coffee and citrus brewed together for something totally new.

• Shelf-Stable: Toss it in a cooler, backpack, or picnic bag. No fridge needed.

• Looks and Feels Like a Party: It’s a celebration-ready can that fits right in at cookouts, lake days, or porch hangs.

• Satisfies Without the Booze: For the sober curious, it feels inclusive. For everyone else, it just feels good.

How to Serve It:

We keep it kegged and chilled at the roastery, ready to go on draft.

• Serve it in a tulip glass or Collins glass with no ice
  

• Shaken over ice is nice. Add a twist of lemon peel for a touch of elegance.
  

• Pair it with heat, humidity, and an open mind
