Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 There is one brand out of milwaulkee (which I forget), another in Seattle I think. Ramapo (isn't it in the northeast)? Most have limited distribution (but check with Whole Foods - they are starting to carry gf beers around the country); I haven't found any in TN (but know they are carried in a few spots in north carolina, for example). And one up in canada. If you go overseas - Isreal has one now and there are one or two in the EU. I've seen rumours of darker beers in England (but would investigate any english or EU beer that claims to be gf, as they allow the use of gluten grains, so long as the end result " tests gf " and beers are nearly impossible to tests, as they use barley instead of wheat and the fermentation process tears even gliadin down into chains too small for the tests to detect, but which still cause damage according to research that has been published). -----Original Message----- What beers are gluten free ?

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 I found another Silly-yak site! This appears to be a bakery in Australia catering to gluten free diners. Very cool. But actually I was just trying to find info on gluten free beer, and specifically a honey lager that I had at the Stanford Conference on Celiac a year and a half ago. Here's there link to a variety of gluten free beers available. I believe I tried the (Gluten-free) Honey Lager from Ramapo Valley Brewery. Honestly, I didn't like it- it had a bitter sweet aftertaste, more bitter than anything. The novelty of drinking beer did give me a mild thrill however. http://sillyyak.com.au/beer/links.html I wouldn't mind trying more varieties, and my husband has been talking about taking up brewing beer at home (gluten free, for me, because he's a sweetie). But, actually, my " beer-like " beverage of choice, for look and style, is a cold bottle of hard cider. (I don't stress about the caramel colors.) It can be fun to try the different varieties, and people generally respond very favorably if you bring them to parties etc. I have to fight my husband for them though, because he likes them too and I drink so rarely they have generally disappeared from the fridge when I do want one. lol. Thanks for the tip on WF, they are really earning a warm spot in my heart for their gluten free products, especially now they have their bakery. > > There is one brand out of milwaulkee (which I forget), another in Seattle I > think.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 I've tried both Ramapo, New Grist, and a microbrew and didn't think any tasted like beer I was used too. People I've made try them agree with me that they seem to have " wine " taste to them. Being that I have never liked wine, the beers don't do much for me. A friend of mine who has CD and likes wine finds them tolerable. I'll stick to the hard stuff To each their own!! On Wed, 21 Dec 2005 14:54:13 -0500, K.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 But one of the ones that explodes is! Some of the gf " beers " sound to be more like mead than beer, also (which is more of a wine and very likely to contain suspect ingredients - at least according to the commercial meadery 10 miles away). -----Original Message----- None of the ones that taste good On Wed, 21 Dec 2005 09:29:25 -0500, Do wrote > What beers are gluten free ?

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 > > You can get both New Grist and Ramapo in Michigan. Bard's is behind in > product due to the exploding bottles. I haven't tried that one. > I've seen several references to " exploding bottles " here, and they seem to indicate Bard's Tale as the culprit. Can anyone elaborate? When I first found out that Bard's Tale was available, I had a local retail store order me a case (expensive!). To me, it was worth it. Bard's Tale has a taste similar to a microbrew or homebrew (one of my former hobbies). However, I had noticed that the bottles tended to overflow upon opening, so much so that I needed to open the bottle over a bowl so as to be able to catch the overflow. Over Thanksgiving, I took some of what I had left with me to visit my brother. He had no room in his refrigerator, so I stored it on his deck (at about 45 deg. F). When I opened the bottles, no foam. So, I had assumed that the beer does not like to be served cold. Most beer tasters prefer a warmer beer anyway, and a warmer brew enhances the flavors. But I'd appreciate if anyone can give more details on Bard's Tale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
