Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Awesome to know. I'll be in Los Gatos tomorrow, and if they don't have it I might scoot up to Cupertino. I probably won't drink it, but I know someone back in Chico who will love it. Carla > > Hi All, > Just a quick note to let you know that they have the Redbridge beer at the Cupertino Whole Foods. It's only $7.99 for 6 bottles and it tastes pretty good! I'm from Wisconsin and " sampled " quite a few beers in my college days, and this one stands up very well to any regular beer.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Sebastopol Whole Foods hasn't heard of GF beer. I'm pretty sure I read on Clan about another GF beer, Gristmill?, to be sold at Whole Foods. H.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 I just now received this response for San Ramon Whole Foods: > Dear Mr. , > We are carrying Redbridge Beer by Anheuser-Bush now.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I'm pretty sure that I saw a display banner, the sort a manufacturer sends out, that touted RedBridge's gluten-free properties. Possibly RedBridge wants to establish itself as a beer for the general/artisan market, rather than playing up its "medical" properties. H.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I agree with H--I think it's a marketing decision. All the press indicates that Redbridge is, in fact, gluten free, but I suppose their marketing gurus have determined that it is better to advertise its great flavor rather than its absence of grains that make a lot of people sick -----Original Message----- From: on behalf of flatcat9@...

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 For what it's worth, I drink one or two every night and haven't had a problem. My stomach usually let's me know pretty rapidly when there's an issue, however everyone's sensitivity level is different."Palmer, " <palmer@...> wrote: I agree with H--I think it's a marketing decision.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 If you go to the website for Redbridge it states under " About Redbridge " that " Redbridge is made without wheat or barley, so the approximately 3.2 million consumers who are unable to drink beer made with barley due to Celiac Disease or because they follow a wheat-free or gluten-free diet can once again enjoy a great tasting beer. " The paper carton also says " made without wheat or barley. " One reason not to state " gluten-free " on the label may be that the US is in the process of defining this term, and may have specific requirements to have this label, and it makes sense for some companies to hold off on using it until they know what tests etc. will be required to make this claim. It really is my favorite GF beer, and I am glad we have the option becoming more and more widely available now. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
