Lager Top - no s
I did once hear someone go to a bar and order a lemonade bottom though.

No way.
That's the best lager, terrible to spoil it with lemonade!
If you don't like lager, try something smoother.
Guinness is really nice once you get used to the feeling of it

I do enjoy guinnes. However I also like shandy and it's not always appropriate to drink a guiness. For e.g. during the day or when driving.

None. Use a bitter instead.
What on Earth? Of course it's appropriate. Man up.

If driving, just drink soft drinks. Even a small amount of alcohol can impair your ability to drive and isn't worth the risk
To answer the OP. Any lager is fine for a shandy - lager has no flavour anyway so just use the cheapest crap you can lay your hands on
*This post was brought to you by a CAMRA member. I have actually had a couple of lagers that were OK but I wouldn't make a habit out of it
Knew a guy a few years back who loved his Guinness.After consuming around 16 pints of the stuff during a day in the pub,he went through to the gents,after complaining of having dead guts,for what he thought was going to be a normal sitting......the aftermath was unimaginable!!I remember the landlord going back and forth with buckets of water,he had sprayed half the walls with ****. LOL

<Stands up> I like shandy too <Sits down>
Peroni works well for me. 330ml bottle and fill the rest of the pint with Lemonade.

Two things get a decent lemonade not Tesco Value secondly get a decent larger Stella 4 makes a great shandy for example. Much like wine for cooking never use anything you wouldn't be prepared to drink normally this will result in a much better tasting drink!
I love people who come into these threads, pretend they know something then go on to spell important words like 'lager' wrong and then point out a crap, bland, cheaply produced beer, marketed for those who don't like beer is a decent beer.
tl;dr - Stella 4 is crap.

can imagine a peroni shandy being one of the best!
