Best Tasting Gluten-free Beer?

[bnice]

Hi,

I miss drinking good beer (and believe me it was something I did alot of). I can hardly watch football anymore (and it's not just because I'm a Jets fan). I am looking for something to stimulate my descriminating taste buds. A friend of mine mentioned a brand named kucose (not sure of spelling), but I am not sure if it is available in the U.S.? Anyone have recommendations???

Hello,

I give you some pointers even though you are a Jets fan. Only kidding, I'm a Giants fan here.

There is a gluten-free beer called Bard's Tale. The website is bardsbeer.com. The only problem is they had some sort of problem with the beer making process and its currently off the market. They state they are working on the problem and will have more available soon. Let's hope. You can get it in Manhattan at the Whole Foods on 7th Ave. I'm assuming you are in the NY area since you are a Jets fan.

I've had this beer and it is good. More of an ale than I was used to since I was a Bud Man in my pre-Celiac day. It definitely filled the craving for beer so lets hope they get it back on the shelves.

The is also a brewery in Hillburn, NY called the Ramapo Valley Brewery. They have a gluten-free beer made from honey. I have not tried this one but some say it is good. They used to ship it but I think they may have stopped. The S&H fees were crazy.

Also, I think they only sell it to go at the actual location. You could call them and find out.

Also, some of the hard ciders are gluten-free and its sort of like a beer.

Good luck,

Kevin
