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.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      @BlessedinBoston, it is possible that in Canada the product in question is formulated differently than in the USA or at least processed in in a facility that precludes cross contamination. I assume from your user name that you are in the USA. And it is also possible that the product meets the FDA requirement of not more than 20ppm of gluten but you are a...

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      No,Lindt is not gluten free no matter what they say on their website. I found out the hard way when I was newly diagnosed in 2000. At that time the Lindt truffles were just becoming popular and were only sold in small specialty shops at the mall. You couldn't buy them in any stores like today and I was obsessed with them 😁. Took me a while to get around to...

I assume from your user name that you are in the USA. And it is also possible that the product meets the FDA requirement of not more than 20ppm of gluten but you are a super sensitive celiac for whom that standard is insufficient.

At that time the Lindt truffles were just becoming popular and were only sold in small specialty shops at the mall. You couldn't buy them in any stores like today and I was obsessed with them 😁. Took me a while to get around to checking them and was heartbroken when I saw they were absolutely not gluten free 😔. Felt the same when I realized Twizzlers weren't either. Took me a while to get my diet on order after being diagnosed. I was diagnosed with small bowel non Hodgkins lymphoma at the same time. So it was a very stressful time to say the least. Hope this helps 😁.

      @Jmartes71, I understand your frustration and anger.  I've been in a similar situation where no doctor took me seriously, accused me of making things up, and eventually sent me home to suffer alone.   My doctors did not recognize nutritional deficiencies.  Doctors are trained in medical learning institutions that are funded by pharmaceutical companies.  They are taught which medications cover up which symptoms.  Doctors are required to take twenty  hours of nutritional education in seven years of medical training.  (They can earn nine hours in Nutrition by taking a three day weekend seminar.)  They are taught nutritional deficiencies are passe' and don't happen in our well fed Western society any more.  In Celiac Disease, the autoimmune response and inflammation affects the absorption of ALL the essential vitamins and minerals.  Correcting nutritional deficiencies caused by malabsorption is essential!  I begged my doctor to check my Vitamin D level, which he did only after making sure my insurance would cover it.  When my Vitamin D came back extremely low, my doctor was very surprised, but refused to test for further nutritional deficiencies because he "couldn't make money prescribing vitamins.". I believe it was beyond his knowledge, so he blamed me for making stuff up, and stormed out of the exam room.  I had studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I switched because I was curious what vitamins from our food were doing in our bodies.  Vitamins are substances that our bodies cannot manufacture, so we must ingest them every day.  Without them, our bodies cannot manufacture life sustaining enzymes and we sicken and die.   At home alone, I could feel myself dying.  It's an unnerving feeling, to say the least, and, so, with nothing left to lose, I relied in my education in nutrition.  My symptoms of Thiamine deficiency were the worst, so I began taking high dose Thiamine.  I had health improvement within an hour.  It was magical.  I continued taking high dose thiamine with a B Complex, magnesium. and other essential nutrients.  The health improvements continued for months.  High doses of thiamine are required to correct a thiamine deficiency because thiamine affects every cell and mitochondria in our bodies.    A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function.  The cerebellum of the brain is most affected.  The cerebellum controls things we don't have to consciously have to think about, like digestion, balance, breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, hormone regulation, and many more.  Thiamine is absorbed from the digestive tract and sent to the most important organs like the brain and the heart.  This leaves the digestive tract depleted of Thiamine and symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency localized in the digestive system, begin to appear.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi include anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, headaches, Gerd, acid reflux, gas, slow stomach emptying, gastroparesis, bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation, incontinence, abdominal pain, IBS,  SIBO, POTS, high blood pressure, heart rate changes like tachycardia, difficulty swallowing, Barrett's Esophagus, peripheral neuropathy, and more. Doctors are only taught about thiamine deficiency in alcoholism and look for the classic triad of symptoms (changes in gait, mental function, and nystagmus) but fail to realize that gastrointestinal symptoms can precede these symptoms by months.  All three classic triad of symptoms only appear in fifteen percent of patients, with most patients being diagnosed with thiamine deficiency post mortem.  I had all three but swore I didn't drink, so I was dismissed as "crazy" and sent home to die basically.   Yes, I understand how frustrating no answers from doctors can be.  I took OTC Thiamine Hydrochloride, and later thiamine in the forms TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Benfotiamine to correct my thiamine deficiency.  I also took magnesium, needed by thiamine to make those life sustaining enzymes.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins, so the other B vitamins must be supplemented as well.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   A doctor can administer high dose thiamine by IV along with the other B vitamins.  Again, Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine should be given if only to rule Gastrointestinal Beriberi out as a cause of your symptoms.  If no improvement, no harm is done. Share the following link with your doctors.  Section Three is especially informative.  They need to be expand their knowledge about Thiamine and nutrition in Celiac Disease.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test for thiamine deficiency.  This test is more reliable than a blood test. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Best wishes!
