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?

      Fiber Supplement

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their...

      I was taking Benefiber for my IBS-C before my celiac diagnosis. It does say Gluten Free but lists Wheat Dextrin on the label. I really dont like psyllium fiber, so is there anything else I can take or is the Benefiber really ok for someone with Celiac disease? Thanks!!!

      Welcome to the forum, @Trish G! "Gluten free" does not necessarily equate to "no gluten". According to FDA standards it actually means that a food product contains no more than 20ppm of gluten. This is safe for most celiacs but would not be for those who are on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. So, it would depend on the individual celiac and their level of sensitivity to minor amounts of gluten. That's the long and nuanced answer. The short answer is that it is a product derived from wheat and so you can be certain it will contain some residual amounts of gluten. No gluten removal process is 100% effective. So, to be absolutely certain, stay away from it. Have you tried chia seeds? Very high in fiber and quickly turns into a gel when added to water. Make sure you get seeds that are gluten free if you decide to try it.

      @Rejoicephd, I'm not a doctor, but I experienced severe thiamine deficiency.  Your symptoms seem really familiar.  Malabsorption is a real thing that happens with Celiac.  A multivitamin is not going to prevent nor correct nutritional deficiencies.    Doctors do not recognize nutritional deficiency symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is not recognized often.  Caused by thiamine deficiency, high dose thiamine supplements or IV administration with other vitamins, minerals and glucose under doctor's care is needed.   Thiamine deficiency is found in anemia.  Thiamine deficiency in the kidneys can result in electrolyte imbalances and cloudy urine.  Thiamine deficiency can cause high blood sugar which can cause cloudy urine.  Dehydration can cause cloudy urine.   I'm linking some PubMed articles.  You see if your symptoms match.  Discuss the possibility of Gastrointestinal Beriberi with one of your specialists soon!  Just to rule it out.  I'm very concerned.   I'm linking some PubMed articles.  You see if your symptoms match.   Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/#ref3 From Section 3: "In conclusion, TD limited to the gastrointestinal system may be an overlooked and underdiagnosed cause of the increasingly common gastrointestinal disorders encountered in modern medical settings. Left unattended, it may progress to wet or dry beriberi, most often observed as Wernicke encephalopathy.". . And... Refeeding Syndrome https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK564513/

      What are your symptoms? What has brought you to the point where you sought celiac disease testing?
