Has anyone heard of an Australian drink called a Shanty? It's half beer and half 7up. Seems like a waste of beer.

Probably short for "shandygaff," the name I've heard. Can also be made with ginger ale.
It's not bad. Try it.

I think the beer they tend to use is a waste already (it's a 'd' not a 't'):

"Shandy", perchance ? indeed short for "Shandygaff"...
It's usually done with crap beer anyway, land pale lager or such...
I could be a ladies drink, much like Black velvets in Scotland. IIRC a Black Velvet is half hard cider and half Guiness Stout or maybe any other stout that's available. I tried it once but I prefer my stout to be straight. YMMV. Cheers! Dominick
