Okay... I know there has been a lot of talk about different gluten-free beers being off the market. I have a new one for you....

New Grist Beer from Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I am not sure where this is available. I live in the Milwaukee area and bought it at a liquor store today. They just started carrying the beer and are almost out. It is very good! I am (or was) a lite beer drinker. I am SO excited about this beer!

The best part is this... Tonight was my "suprise" 30th birthday party from my dad's side of the family. They thought enough of me to check Wisconsin for gluten-free beer. Which, I may add, untill now carried nothing!! When they checked this liquor store ( a large one) they were told that the liquor store just started carrying it and they were out already!!! That is a great sign!! If enough people want it, they will continue to carry it! I have something to put in the cooler now for all of the tailgate parties and backyard cookouts! This is a breakthrough for us in Wisconsin! I hope it makes it to other parts of the US. My aunt did check the web site and said there was no info on the gluten free beer. I am not sure how new it is. I know my bottle was brewed the 3rd week in October.

Check it out all!! Enjoy! :D

I just checked the website and I didn't find that particular beer. But I'm really excited because Lakefront beer is available near where I live! That means I could probably just request that they get this new stuff in for me.

Lakefront rolls out gluten-free beer

Lakefront Brewery Inc., Milwaukee, has introduced New Grist, a gluten-free beer for consumers who suffer from Celiac disease, or gluten intolerance.

Brewed from sorghum and gluten-free yeast grown on molasses, New Grist is designed for consumers who are on restricted diets due to intolerance to gluten, a protein found in common brewing grains such as barley, wheat and rye.

"You never realize how important it is for some people to have a beer," said Russ Klisch, Lakefront president.

Lakefront is marketing the brew as a barley- and wheat-free product pending governmental guidelines for all products claiming "gluten-free" status, Klisch said.

New Grist is being sold in six-packs of 12-ounce bottles for $6.99.

Lakefront plans to make New Grist its first brand available to consumers throughout the United States.

my dad bought me a case of this the other day!! I live in chicago and he found it out in the western suburbs. I am such a beer girl - so i was practically in tears when i saw all that beer - all for me!! apparently he talked to the liquor store manager and the manager said that the Bard's Tale beer had been recalled because there were many cases of the bottles just exploding on the shelves - i actually heard this from a liquor store in my neighborhood as well. this new stuff is good. Its a little sweeter than a regular beer. More like a cross between a cider and a beer. i dont care if it tasted like sludge - i would have drank it. i miss beer so much. big fan of Grist! the store manager said that tons of people were buying the beer over the holidays - so i think thats a good sign! its catching on. the manager said he would definitely order more!

New Grist

It has a better body and a nuttier finish than Bards anyway -- I liked it!

Its not a "Light American" beer, but I was hoping it wasn't anyway....

I am not sure how you can get it. I went to their website... lakefrontbrewery.com. There was a place to contact the brewery. They answered in just a few days.

Good Luck!

New Grist is now available (as in just today, I just bought the first sixer) at B&G Liquors in Chippewa Falls, WI if anyone is interested and within driving distance.

We asked at our favorite liquor store about gluten-free beers and they didn't have any but said if we found the brand name and brewery they would order for us!! Great customer service, but we live in a pretty small town.

I'm looking forward to having beer again. :D:D:D

They told me (like BardsBeer) to call a distributor and get them to order it.

I am going to have to rally the Vegas Celiacs into some action....

Just thought I'd share this article. It was in the Milwaukee Journal. It is "the" newspaper in the Milwaukee area.

Lakefront Brewery Inc., a Milwaukee craft brewer, has launched a new beer that is aimed at people with an illness that leaves them unable to tolerate gluten, a protein found in wheat and other grains.

New Grist Beer will be targeted to people with celiac disease. It is brewed with sorghum, and it is the first U.S. beer brewed without malted barley or gluten-containing products, according to Lakefront.

"We're glad New Grist makes it possible for people with celiac disease to finally have a beer," said Russ Klisch, Lakefront president, in a statement. "And I'm very pleased with the initial requests and compliments for this product that have been pouring in from around the country."

New Grist will be the first beer Lakefront has sold nationally.

The company sells around 6,000 to 7,000 barrels annually. Lakefront's beer lineup includes brands that pay homage to Milwaukee neighborhoods, such as Riverwest Stein and East Side Dark.

Lakefront also brews several seasonal beers, such as Big Easy Beer, which peaks in sales around Mardi Gras, and Snake Chaser Stout, which is popular around St. Patrick's Day.

Most of Lakefront's sales are in Wisconsin and northern Illinois.

An estimated 3 million people in the United States are living with celiac disease.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Alibu, Migraines ran in my family as well.  Correcting my Thiamine insufficiency made a dramatic improvement in frequency and duration.   If you take Thiamine, B12 and B6 together, they have analgesic (pain relieving) properties.  Taking thiamine every day has cut down on their occurrence and severity for me.   Take Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  These forms get into the brain easily.  Magnesium Threonate gets into the brain easily, too, and helps thiamine work.  My gave a sigh of relief when I first took it, and no migraines. Yes, lowering histamine levels helps one feel better, too.  Vitamin C and B12 help reduce histamine.  A low histamine diet can help, too.  DAO supplements lower histamine, as well.  DOA is a digestive enzyme we can run short on.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @ehb   Great you're going to start the AIP diet!  I know it's scary and stressful, but you'll soon start feeling better.  It's a challenge, but you can make it.  Do ask for a Erythrocyte Transketolace test which tests for Thiamine level.   I hope your Vitamin D level is between 70 and 100 nmol/L.  In this optimal range, Vitamin D can act like a hormone and regulate the immune system.  Vitamin D 3 is the form that the body can utilize well.  I was prescribed the synthetic firm D2 and my body didn't like it.  I know getting my Vitamin D up in the eighties made a world of difference to me.  My depression improved and I felt so much better at higher levels.   I prefer Life Extension brand for many vitamins.  The important thing is to read the label and watch out for fillers like rice flour.  This may help. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By ehb · Posted

      @knitty kitty I have an appointment to go over the results tomorrow. Vitamin D was in the normal range. I’ve decided to start the gluten contamination elimination diet, while avoiding nightshades as recommended by the AIP. I am still hoping to get support from a nutritionist or advice from the doctor about supplements to make sure I’m getting enough nutrients. I’m still having a hard time sorting through all of the different brands and possible combinations

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      By cristiana · Posted

      We've definitely all had such thoughts.  But as Scott says, it does get easier with time.  I'm not sure where you are posting from but in England where I live, over the last ten years or so most things I missed at first now have gluten free substitutes.   I still miss Twix bars, and chocolate Penguins (a type of biscuit) but I'm hoping sooner or later someone will create a decent substitute for them! One thing that I remember my husband said to me when I was feeling down one day  was: "Why don't you try to think of all the things you can still eat, rather than the things you can't?"  The list is long, and it did help - sort of!

      Quaker Instant Grits, gluten-free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It looks like they are naturally gluten-free, but not labeled gluten-free. https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/grits/instant-grits-plain
