Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 You can order directly from Ramapo, there website is easily available if you google it..just call and order.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Group, I did call them directly - and when I said I was near San Francisco, they referred me to a distributor in Southern California. I left two messages with the distributor and never received a call back. - did you manage to order direct from Ramapo? What did they charge you for shipping? I found one place in the mid-west that would ship - but the shipping charges for nice heavy beer and bottle was almost the cost of the product!

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 I did order a case of the Ramapo Honey Lager a couple of years ago. My husband, the celiac beer drinker, said it's OK, but it's not beer. Actually, I believe it is more of a mead than a beer, as it uses honey to ferment. We have had it at the Stanford conference for the last two years. (FYI, I called Ramapo directly and and they shipped it directly to me; I think it was about $60 for a case.) Sadly, while GF beer is available in most other western countries (including Canada, France, UK, Australia, etc), it is hard to come by in the States. There is one other company besides Ramapo that sells GF beer, and it is really a beer made from gluten-free grain (sorghum). The company is Bard's Tale Beer (http://www.bardsbeer.com/index.html) I have never sampled their beer, but have high hopes that it would be more of a true beer than Ramapo. That's the good news. The bad news is that so far it can only be had in the eastern US. I begged and begged them to supply beer for the Stanford Conference, but couldn't even get them to repsond to my e-mails or calls. I have to assume that they are selling all the beer they can make in the east, and don't need the business in the west. What we need is a celiac microbrewer to start brewing beer for the west coast.....anyone out there??? Ken (my husband) tried to make GF-beer once but the shelf it was on broke and we had half-fermented beer all over the family room floor. He never had the heart to try again.
