Gluten-free Beer

I just wanted to let everyone in the Midwest know that there is a great gluten-free beer from Wisconsin that is from Lakefront Brewery called New Grist. It's made from sorghum, much like Bard's Tale. I just bought a case of six for about $8 and it's pretty good. Enjoy!

I just called our local Friar Tuck's (Bloomington IL). They said they have no idea when Bard's will be back. I think there was another thread about that earlier today. They did have New Grist and one other kind of gluten-free beer. I was going to check it out this weekend. I've never had gluten-free beer. I was always under the impression regular beer was fine. I never got sick or anything, but I guess I was wrong.

Most beers are made with malted barley, some have wheat in them, and others are made with oats (anyone else miss the Oatmeal Stout?) Beer is an absolute no-no on the gluten free front. Some mainstream beer manufacturors have stated their beers are ok on prior occasions, but it is misinformation.

I had a case of exploding Bards (sorry Tiffany), which was dissapointing and expensive.

I have some Ramapo Valley Honey Beer right now, and its pretty good.

New Grist hasn't hit the West Coast yet, the lovely man at the brewery estimated June-ish.

Rumor has it that Bards Beer is now incahootz with Gordon Biersch's bottling plant.

This is interesting on several fronts

1. Bards will be available on the West Coast

2. Bards will be bigger than before (if true)

I have heard that they will be offering two or three different beers later this year (one of them is supposed to be a chocolate stout)

Again, this is pure conjecture and heresay that I have heard/read from other sources...

Anyway, this source said the beer was to be available in Mid to late March (Bards Beer).

Apparently we have not read my post in the Bard's Beer thread from the other day... (scroll to bottom)

Unless I am Bronco's source! :lol:

SH,

I think you were my source -- haha -- I couldn't remember where I'd read or heard it ...

I have e-mailed Gordon Biersch regarding the rumors, I will report back to the group when I know details...

Ha, I'm glad my post got to someone :lol::)

Also glad to know that Lakefront Brewery (New Grist) is expecting distribution in Vegas soon. I lived my entire life in Wisconsin until two months ago, and know for a fact that they make good beer! I was only officially diagnosed ten days ago, and have been gluten-free (and casein free!) for a month or so, so my greatest sympathies to those who have been without glorious beer for years or decades! As per my other post, (Open Original Shared Link), New Grist should be available in Southeast Idaho by late March, and presumably also available in other northwestern staes serviced by Open Original Shared Link.

Hooray Beer!

So which of the gluten-free beers taste most similiar to regular lite beer (i.e. Bud Lite, Miller Lite,etc.)???

Don't know... haven't had one yet! But I, for one, hope they are not that devoid of flavor...

I haven't been able to try any of them yet but I called yesterday and ordered some New Grist. I'm waiting for it to arrive. They said it typically takes 3-7 days to get it but they're out right now. Clubs of America plans to have some by the middle of next week. They said they would ship ASAP. :)

I've only had the canadian gluten free beer called "La Messagere". To me, it's a normal beer!

I ordered New Grist from Clubs of America three weeks ago and they've yet to get any in :angry:

Will continue to play the waiting game I guess. At leat the stuff is popular so they can probably afford to boost production in the future.

I spoke to Lakefront on Wednesday on they said they had just shipped beer to clubs of america. The next day the charge from COA appeared on my bank statement. I expect we will have our beer very soon!

I've been ordering Ramapo Brewery beer for over 2 years now, and I love it. I have also tried Bard's beer on 2 occasions. Once I mail-ordered it. The day of delivery was a hot summer day in SF, and the beer tasted like absolute crap. I literally could not drink it. (Ramapo mail order beer tastes great any time of the year). The second time, a friend hand delivered a 6pack kept chilled in a cooler. This was OK, but I still prefer Ramapo Beer. Obviously, beer preference is personal, but if you go with Bard's, don't mail order it. A 3rd experience with Bard's was trying to buy some myself in MN. Turns out the store had to discontinue selling it because the bottles were exploding. I understand Bard's is/has addressing that problem. As for the New Grist beer, I eagerly await it's arrival out here on the West Coast. Couldn't find O'briens when I was in Australia last Nov.

Oh, and my non-celiac friends have tried both. They don't think either beer is "normal" beer, but they would drink both varieties, but with a preference for Ramapo.

Just received my 12 pack of New Grist via DHL from Clubs of America. Had it delivered to my office so that I could ensure somebody would be availaible to sign for it. I'd pop it open and try it now but I think my boss might frown on that :blink:

I guess I ordered at a bad time when they were out of stock so it took over a month from the time I ordered it to the time I received it but hopefully it will be worth the wait. I've never had gluten-free beer so hopefully it will make me :P happy.

My fiance went to Canada a few weeks and got me La Messagere- it's excellent and he likes it too, although at $13 dollars a six pack he is not allowed to drink it. I highly recommend it. The stores that I called around western mass and western ny said Bards Tale was exploding,etc. but that it was very popular and they were all hoping to get more! I found a web site for Silly Yak beer too, but there's no info as to when it will be out.

I do love "La Messagere". I prefer it to New Grist but it's more expensive. I bring a couple 6 packs back with me every time I go to Canada. I also bring a 12 pack of Smirnoff Ice...it's really cheap at the duty free shop!

I got mine today too! Enjoying one right now! It's only been a couple months or so without beer for me, so I can still remember what it tastes like... this reminds me of pale ale a little bit, but much less bitter. I was afraid it wouldn't taste much like beer at all, but it is good!

Put another way, I fear my twelve-pack won't last all that long... :blink:

When I spoke to Lakefront last week, the guy mentioned that they had, in fact, run out of beer, having greatly underestimated the demand. I also asked about the possibility of other styles of beer (dark especially) and he sounded like that was definitely in the cards. Probably not soon, but I can dream...

Hmm...

After a few, not sure "pale ale" is an accurate description... but it's good!

Skål!

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
