Gluten Free Beer In Ma


luceydiana

Recommended Posts

luceydiana Explorer

I was wondering if anyone from MA has found gluten free beer here. Or if anyone has actually gone to a liquor store and asked them to get it or carry it. I know there is New Grist, Ramapo Valley and Bard's Tale.

To order Ramapo Valley it costs just as much to ship it as the beer. Bards tale wasn't that good. Maybe I got some of the bad batch. One would be too fizzy then the next one flat. So I'm hoping this New Grist will be good. I really miss beer.

I am going to go to my local liquor store today and ask them about carrying New Grist. If enough people start asking around maybe it will get things moving.

Again.................REALLY MISS BEER.

Hi Diana, they have just started carrying Ramapo Valley at the Beverly Wine and Beer store in North Beverly. I don't know if this is close to you at all, but I was very excited!

I've had the Ramapo Valley gluten-free beer and it is very sweet. Its made from honey & molasses. My suggestion is to put a lime / lemon in it like you would a Corona. That made it taste a lot better. I drank about 8 of them on Super Bowl sunday so I can say I enjoyed it.

I agree, it's very sweet, great idea to try the lime...it's just nice to have it around.

If you call Ramapo they will give you a list of their distributors, as well as their contact there. I have visited their website, but it is under construction. Give them a call, the girl was very friendly that I spoke to. B)

Wow up in Beverly eh? What's their price point? I work for a beverage industry trade publication and website in Cambridge, MA and I will be writing an article on the unmet need for gluten-free beer. The publication reaches about 20,000 individual retailers and distributors across the US. The big guys here in Boston should def stock the New Grist, RPV, Bard's - problem is getting one of the distributors here to pick it up. We are also featuring New Grist in our new product's section so that will give them lots of exposure. It's certainly a hot niche catergory in the beer industry. Lakefront is sending us a case of their New Grist and I've heard that right now that demand is so high they can't keep up with supply. I am also a celiac and in my former life (before diagnosis that is...) was a beer drinker. I am also working with Beveragesdirect.com for them to start selling New Grist via mail order in the next month or so. Good things ahead!

I actually went to Beverly today and bought their last six pack of Ramapo. It was like $9.50.

The guy I spoke to said they were getting more in today and as long as the demand is there they will keep stocking it.

Please keep us up to date on the progress. I think you're my new best friend!

Max, working on it hehe!!! Moongirl, nice work! The new Whole Foods on Cambridge Street (right near Mass General) has a great selection as does Trader Joe's. I've tried to get Martignetti's in the North End to look into gluten-free beer as well as Charles Street Liquors in Beacon Hill but haven't had much luck as there aren't any distributors carrying the gluten-free products. That will change very soon I hope!

Thanks,

looks like it might be happening, :D i think they are going to do a test to see how it does, so if you live around Rt 9 in chestnut hill/Newton.... (when the stuff comes in i will let you know, they have to work out details) go to OMNI FOODS Open Original Shared Link and get you gluten-free beer....

Its confirmed the gluten-free beer should be arriving in the next couple weeks at Omni Foods, so if you live around the Chestnut Hill/Newton location, go pick some up to support it, so they will keep bringing in more!!! :D

I can't wait! I'm not familiar with that area. Is it easy to get to from 93?

Umm well its on Rt 9 outside of Boston, Its near 95, if you took 93 to 95, you can hop right onto Rt 9...check out the website to get the exact location, i posted it in my previous post.

I used to work for a wine and liquor distributor in ny (in between jobs currently) and I would say 90% of the liquor store owners would go out of their way to special order different wines/liquors for their customers. You just have to make a point to talk to them and show that you WILL DEFINITELY be back to purchase the gluten-free beer. Few owners will make you put down a deposit, but just make sure you establish a connection with the owner/buyer. Good luck!

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.
