I was calling another manufacturer about gluten-free stuff and then I had to hang up cuz I was hearing Rosie talking to Elisabeth about how Elisabeth learned she was a Celiac. She was talking about how she was feeling great when she was on Survivor and away from all the gluten products and that is what preciptated her getting tested.
They featured a gluten free beer from Anhauser Busch which is the first beer she has had in a long time.
I hope she continues to keeps talking about this subject on air. Even if she is a republican
Elizabeth if you are listening keep featuring gluten-free products. This is a great way to get the word out, support manufacturers that making gluten-free products, to convince other manufacturers there is money to be made by marketing to us.
Interests:I love having new friends that can identify with me--I like talking to people who know what i am and have gone through and who can also share their trials with this disease with me and whom I can share mine with--my sister is also celiac, as is my father---anyone out there wanting to talk with me, feel free to email me anytime--include in the subject line that its about celiacs--I dont open just anything--thank you, Deb

I was rather disappointed in the time allotted for celiac disease. It was maybe a whole 5 mins, if that, and they spend a good share of that time slopping beer all over. I do not think that people actually could have gotten any good advice from that tiny time frame. I was very disappointed and remembered very quickly why I have never liked The View.

So my husband was right . I ridiculed him a week ago, because he mentioned it to me. And I said, yeah, like the last time somebody mentioned to you, that Amstel light is glutenfree and then I had a glutenaccident. I didn't see the show. Can you tell me more? How do I know, which one it is from Busch brand. Do they say glutenfree on the bottle. Or wheat, rye, oats or barley free for that matter?
Thanks for the info, Stef

The beer is called Redbridge. Looking at the label on the website, it says "beer made from sorghum" and "made without wheat or barley." I don't see that it says "gluten-free" but maybe that is because the FDA hasn't issued a rule yet saying when manufacturers are permitted to put that on a food that traditionally does include gluten. The proposed rule about that is now out for public comment.
They do say on the website: "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." So it sounds safe.
If you are 21, you can get into the site and input your zip code to see where you can buy the stuff. http://www.redbridgebeer.com/
Has anyone tried any of the other gluten-free beers out there, like Bard's or New Grist? I'm not that fond of Budweiser, so I wonder if I will like Redbridge.

I sipped at Bards last week and it was great. I didn't try New Grist. Never heard of it . I just tried to find out that Redbridge beer, but I couldn't find anything in our area. My husband says, he knows where we could buy it around here. It's just strange, that I can't find it with the zip code locator on the internet.

I just got an article sent to me about the former CEO of Pabst is just now heading up this gluten free brewery called Bard's Tale Beer in Lee's Summit, Missouri. Bard's Tale Beer makes its product from sorghum.
They intend to give competitor Anheuser-Busch's sorghum-based beer Redbridge beer that was introduced last month some competition.
The more competition the better for us. I guess this could mean some lower prices down the road perhaps and a serious approach to providing better products. I haven't tried any yet but maybe I should.
I suggest doing a search for Redbridge on this site...there are numerous threads out there on this delightful topic...gluten free beer!
We have New Grist and Redbridge at home. I am the Celiac and don't even like beer, but its nice to have to cook with and Eric likes to drink it...so he can kiss me
I have a feeling that the older gluten-free beers - New Grist, Rampo Valley, and Bard's Tale, are going to find that they are the ones squeezed by the competition of the AB Redbridge release, since AB has a *much* larger advertising budget.

I finally got some Bards tale from Portland last week and it was great. Had not had a beer since last June. I am very excited to try the new beer from Anhauser Busch. Even though I am a repulican

The prices are coming down and it is not because of Bard's. Actually Bard's and New Grist were out months before Redbridge. Redbridge is the "new kid" on the block. During a visit to the in-laws in NC over Christmas I went to a health food store and "all" three brands were present in one display. I have only tasted New Grist and Redbridge. I did not get the Bard's because it was about $11.50 a six-pack, almost twice the price of what I can get the Redbridge for. I thought the Redbridge tasted very good and I have had my share of beer in the years prior to my diagnosis. The New Grist was not bad when it was the only one I could get but now that has changed and I can shop around. I think since AB is so large then it can produce and sell their product cheaper. What I expect to see down the road are more brewers experimenting with gluten free and I see better tasting and cheaper products in the future. I for one was glad to see AB enter the market because it's sheer size gave much needed recognition to Celiac awareness.

Ialso tried the new red bridge beer as well as my husband and we thought it was great.
I absolutely love Redbridge. At one of the local liquor/wine stores in Boston that I frequent, the A-B is priced at $7.99 and the Bard's is priced at $11.99...both great products but going on price A-B wins. I like Dragon's Gold but 12 bones + deposit is still a lot - even for a craft beer. Hopefully, they will adjust their price down the line.
