Radler Maβ: Goes back to the bicycle clubs in the second half of the 19. Century,

hence the first part of the name meaning bicycle rider.   

A Maβ in Bavaria is a stein with the volume of 1 liter.

According to the German Historian Bauer: A Radler was enjoyed by the “bikers” once they reached their mid destination, a beer garden.  The “bikers” did not want to consume a soft drink, but if they would have had real beer, they would never have found their way home.
