A '''beer mix''' usually refers to an [[Alcoholic drink|alcoholic beverage]] which includes one or more additional ingredients. Typically, the beer mix is 40-70% [[beer]]. Popular mix-ins include [[cola]], lemon, and other fruit juices.{{Citation needed|date=August 2022}}
Today, beer mixes are an established part of German drinking culture and are available in a wide range of flavors and varieties, including [[Non-alcoholic drink|non-alcoholic versions]]. Though marketed primarily towards young adults, they can be enjoyed by consumers of all ages.
Beer mixes have been available in Germany
In 1995, the mid-sized German [[Karlsberg (brewery)|Karlsberg Brewery]] in [[Homburg (Saar)]] was the first brewery to use an amendment to the beer tax law which enabled the production and sale of ready-mixed beer mixes in bottles or tins.<ref
▲== History of Beer Mixes ==
▲Beer mixes have been available in Germany already since the early 20th century. The “[[Radler]]“ beer mix which is still popular today, is seen as the pioneer of the market and was invented as the result of a shortage. It is said that in the summer of 1922 a [[Munich]] inn was so busy with cyclists that there was the threat of a beer shortage. For this reason the beer was mixed with [[lemonade]] to make it last longer and this was how the “Radler” came to be.<ref>Cf. http://www.bierundwir.de/sorten/radler.htm, Radler / Alsterwasser, 29.05.2015, 09:55 am.</ref> Further variants, e.g. cola-beer as well as wheat beer mixes followed. Up until 1993 it was only permitted to sell freshly prepared beer mixes due to legal requirements.<ref>Cf. http://www.brauer-bund.de/bier-ist-genuss/biersorten-im-portraet/biermischgetraenke.html, Biermischgetränke setzen junge Akzente, 29.05.2015, 10:37 am.</ref>

This innovation was initially met with considerable criticism from the beer industry whereby the first competitors appeared on the market in 2001 and the market subsequently saw a continuous increase in sales volume.
▲Further variants which differed in the type of beer they contained as basis, followed. Schöfferhofer Grapefruit is hereby a pioneer in the wheat beer mixes and was launched on the market in 2007 by the Binding Brauerei Brewery.<ref>Cf. http://www.schoefferhofer-weizen-mix.de/?page_id=102, Kowalski, Alexander: Markenportrait Schöfferhofer-Weizenmix 2015., 15.04.2015, 13:51 pm.</ref>
