Ramapo Valley Brewery Gluten Free Beer

My friend called me and said he had a gift for me. He stopped by my house early one morning, because we had to go to work together and wanted to drop off the gift.

He did alot of research and found a gluten free beer for me. He actually FEDEX it to his house. I was very surprised and excited. I thought that was very thoughtful of him and his wife.

It actually tastes pretty good. Contains water, molasses, hops, honey, and Passover yeast. I believe we can have all those ingredients. It has gluten free written right on the bottle.

He also found out that a local Winery, ( Stirling Wines & Liquors, in Stirling, New Jersey ) 5 minutes from my apt, has the gluten-free Beer instock. So he did his homework, I thought that was really nice of him. He really put some time into finding the gluten-free Beer for me.

Well, thats all for know. I was wondering if anybody has tried it yet.

Thanks,

-Joe

The answer to your question is no--I'm only 14-- but I have read the comments of many others. The general consensus seems to be that Bard's Tale Beer is the best and most popular, followed by Ramapo... those are the two big brands of gluten-free beer.

I haven't had a chance to try the beer that you mentioned above, but I recently have begun to stock Grist (sp?) beer made from Lakefront Breweries in my fridge. I love being able to have a beer again and I can buy this where I live (Racine, WI).

Joe-

What a cool friend! I still haven't seen ramapo, but have had Bard's Tale and it is pretty good. I'm more of a cider/hard alcohol person than beer...but glad you found it to be pretty good. I think more gluten-free beers are on the way!

Make sure you refrigerate the beer. It can go bad on you.

I have a cross-contamination question for you guys:

If a bar/restaurant has a gluten-free beer on the same tap as other beers that we cannot have, will there be any cross contamination? I am not that familiar with beer or beer taps but it looks like there might be possible contamination.

If it comes out of the same spout (I have less knowledge of this than you) then I would assume there is a problem.

I called Ramapo and talked to rep. I did not order yet. I live in Virginia and have been gluten-free since May 05. Going to NC to visit in-laws Christmas Day. I may have some gluten-free beer there waiting for me. I would like to taste some prior to ordering myself. With each passing day I think we are all that much closer to having one of the major brewers producing a product we can enjoy at an affordable price. It won't take many more articles such as the one in WSJ two weeks ago to get the ball rolling. Merry Christmas to all!

I've had the Ramapo Gluten Free Beer and I reather enjoyed it. The lady on the phone said that you don't have to refrigerate it as long as you keep it in a cool dry place. I was looking into trying bards as well but I hear they are out of bussiness. Has anyone else heard this? It is a little pricey, but isn't everything that is gluten free?

My dad recently had 2 6packs shipped to me to try out, each 6pack sells for $11 and shipping is $11 per 6pack, ridiculous cost if you ask me. The flavor was not to bad, considering I hadn't had a beer in a good month or so before hand. Until I tried Lakefront Brewery' "New Grist Beer" which is brewed using Sorghum Flour, this is by far better than the Ramapo Valley beer, and its only $7/6pack! Whole Food carries it (according to the brewery) and they have a lot of distributors throughout the country. (PS, I have NO affiliation with Lakefront Brewery nor receive any kickbacks, this is just my honest opinion)

I also had the Lakefront Beer this weekend-- it was pretty smooth, decent body and a little nutty -- better than Bards Beer in my opinion!!

Thanks to all for this lively discussion!!

My husband is non-gluten-free but tries really hard to keep gluten-free with me. He has been wanting to try these beers since we haven't been able to 'enjoy' the football season together properly.

We will be trying all we can find.

Hey knvb78 - I just called Stirling Wines and they said all 3 cases they had in stock were SOLD. Did you buy it all?

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
