Celiac.com 05/23/2026 - Lakefront Brewery, the largest seller of gluten-free beer in the United States, is excited to announce the release of New Grist Grapefruit Radler for national distribution. The Radler combines gluten-free beer and soda, creating a refreshing and thirst-quenching grapefruit beverage that is low in alcohol at 3% ABV and only 110 calories per 12oz can.

This will be the first gluten-free beverage Lakefront has released in two years and will be featured in 6-packs as well as inside Lakefront's Gluten Free Variety 12-pack year-round. “People are drinking less alcohol and being vigilant about what they’re putting in their bodies,” says Russ Klisch, Owner of Lakefront Brewery. “Whether you have a gluten-intolerance or not, we wanted to provide something revitalizing that was lower in alcohol and easier on the calories for all craft beer drinkers. This is a well-balanced, repeatable beverage that can really go the distance.”

The refreshing beverage known as a Radler has stood the test of time. Originating in 1920’s Germany, Franz Xaver Kugler ran a pub along a popular biking route. Thirsty cyclists ran the pub dry until Franz put a cellar full of limonade soda to use. Concocting a 50/50 split between the limonade and his remaining beer, the Radler was born.

The sorghum and rice-based New Grist beer, combined with grapefruit juice and monk fruit, create a natural citrusy soda flavor with the crisp foundation of an ale.
