A new Natty Boh: Crab Shack Shandy

WASHINGTON — National Bohemian Beer Co., or Natty Boh to its fans, has released its first new beer to hit the market in over 30 years, and it’s brewed for summer crab feast season.

Crab Shack Shandy is a seasonal shandy. Shandies are generally beers mixed with citrus juices.

“We worked hard to create a brew for the summer season that truly represents the same laid-back, ‘pleasant living’ philosophy that the Chesapeake region is known for,” said C-Mo Molloy, Natty Boh brand manager and Baltimore native.

Natty Boh describes Crab Shack Shandy as “a golden straw-colored lager infused with notes of citrus and a hint of lemon and orange zest, overlaid with finely roasted malt flavor.” The company says it culminates with a white foamy head and a quick, dry finish.

“Crab Shack Shandy is a nod to simpler, more leisurely days and we hope our fans will raise a glass together whether on the Bay, at the ballpark or at a crab feast with friends and family,” Molloy said.

Natty Boh Crab Shack Shandy is available in both 16-ounce and 12-ounce cans in Maryland, Virginia and the District, as well as Pennsylvania and Delaware.

National Bohemian Beer was first brewed in Baltimore in 1885.

 

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
