The limited release 310 Stomped Shandy features Hot Dog on a Stick’s iconic Hand-Stomped Lemonade brewed with Santa Monica Brew Works’ 310 California Blonde Ale

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (Aug. 20, 2020) – Hot Dog on a Stick® (HDOS) celebrates National Lemonade Day today by announcing a freshly squeezed collaboration that’s as refreshing as a day at the beach! The West Coast staple is teaming up with its neighbors at Santa Monica Brew Works (SMBW) to release 310 Stomped Shandy, a beach-brewed, Hand-Stomped hard lemonade shandy.

This limited-batch release is a sunshine filled blend of HDOS’ famous hand-stomped Lemonade and SMBW’s crisp 310 California Blonde Ale. Combining two iconic Santa Monica beverages this 4.0% Alcohol by Volume brew is a zesty thirst quencher.

“California born and raised, we’ve been hand-stomping Lemonade for nearly 75 years at our iconic Muscle Beach stand, just steps from the Santa Monica Pier,” says Annica Conrad, Chief Marketing Officer for HDOS parent company, Global Franchise Group. “The 310 Stomped Shandy raises a toast to our West Coast roots and is truly a taste of summer,” added Conrad.

310 Stomped Shandy will be available for purchase for a limited time at the brewery’s Tasting Room at 1920 Colorado Ave. in Santa Monica beginning Saturday, Sept. 5. The HDOS Food Truck will be onsite selling fan favorites on Sept. 5 and Sept. 11 – 13. Visit santamonicabrewworks.com for hours information.

“We are thrilled to team up with another Santa Monica original – the iconic Hot Dog on a Stick. This joint effort is a truly authentic way to celebrate our beach brewed lifestyle”, says Scott Francis, SMBW’s President, Co-Founder & CEO. Adding, “The 310 Stomped Shandy is crazy refreshing – the perfect thirst quencher for late summer in Southern California. It will be brewed and packaged in the heart of our beachside hometown just like every one of our beers, and will be the perfect complement to every item on the iconic Hot Dog on a Stick menu.”

The Shandy’s can design captures this community celebration, showcasing fresh-stomped elements from HDOS’ Lemonade and their classic stripes incorporated with SMBW’s beach-brewed lifestyle.
