Seattle-ites, Help Me Find Beer!

I'm heading to a birthday party this weekend, and I'd like to take some beer along with me (to go with the beer that others will be having). I'm not a big beer drinker, but with the big gash on my face and the wacky food I'll be eating, I'm in the mood to fit in a bit. But there's no time to order online, and I'm not paying $70 for a case!

Anyone in Seattle know where I can get gluten-free beer? I'll go cider if I have to, but I'd prefer beer. I'll go into the city if I have to, but I'd prefer eastside. :P

Thanks guys, y'all wrock! :)

(PS - the 'gash on my face' story: I was volunteering - with the friend who's birthday party I'll be going to this weekend - at a tree planting watershed restoration project, and was clearing slash so there would be room to plant native ground cover plants. My husband and I were moving a 10 foot section of tree that had been thinned from an overplanted area, and as it was going down on the slash pile, the bottom end came up, and hit me in the face where I was leaning over, a bit off balance, smacking me in the chin and just below the lip. Five hours later (it was about an hour to get to the hospital), I left the ER with twenty stitches (two inside my mouth, six in the muscle layer, and a dozen in the upper layer) between my lip (the laceration went all the way through) and chin, and one FAT lip! It doesn't hurt as much as you might think for getting whacked in the face by a 10 foot chunk of tree, and now I can say that I've had work done by a plastic surgeon! (That's because the cut was on the vermillion border, where the lip transitions to facial skin.) Stitches come out Friday! Good thing it wasn't a head wound up higher; I had given blood three days earlier, and didn't have a lot of extra blood in my system to lose!)

Update: After talking to a couple places, turns out, none of the distributors send gluten-free beer to Washington at this point. Boo-hiss! Guess I'll be looking for ciders...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      By Matthias · Posted

      Thanks a lot for your response! Can you maybe specify which kind of cheeses I should be cautious about? Camembert/Brie and blue cheeses (the molds of which are nowadays mostly grown on gluten-free media, though, so I've read, right?) or other ones as well? Also, I was under the impression that yeast is generally gluten-free if not declared otherwise. Is that false?

      I agree with @trents, but thank you for bringing this up here!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi @trents, yes I've had my levels checked in Dec 2025 which revealed vit D deficiency. I considered eggs although they only contain about 45 IU vitamin D/egg. I need 2000 IU vitamin D for maintenance as per my doctor. Although now, I likely need way more than that to treat the deficiency. My doctor has yet to advise me on dosing for deficiency. I've also considered cod liver oil, although again, if it's processed in a facility that has gluten, especially on flour form, I worried to test it, even if they have protocols in place to mitigate cross-contamination with gluten.

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Jane02! Have you had your serum D levels checked for deficiency/sufficiency? What about cod liver oil? Egg yolks can also be a good source of vitamin D.

      Hello, I'm very discouraged. I've been trying to find a safe vitamin mineral supplement brand for months and am tired of testing one after the other and experiencing my typical 'glutening' reactions. I'm really feeling the nutritional deficiencies set in. I'm doing the best I can to get these nutrients from my food, although it's impossible for me to intake enough vitamin D as I can't have dairy and have insufficient sun exposure in the northern hemisphere. I've tried B Complex from Country Life (certified gluten-free) - horrible reaction. I've tried Metagenics vitamin D tab (certified glute-free) - bad reaction. I've tried liquid vitamin D Thorne and D Drops - reactions were mild since I tried a drop of a drop. I understand there could be other things I'm reacting to in my diet, although my diet/intake is pretty consistent with minimal variables so I do think it's something in these supplements. I understand I could be reacting to the active ingredient vitamin/mineral itself or even the filler ingredients. I tried the vitamin D drops since the only filler ingredient is coconut oil, in some brands, which I know I can tolerate really well on its own - I cook with coconut oil frequently and have no 'glutening' reactions at all. Perhaps I'm reacting to the vitamin D itself, although I eat fatty fish every few days, an entire fillet with no 'glutening' reactions, which contains anywhere between 400-600 IU per fillet so I shouldn't be sensitive to vitamin D. All this to say, I'm desperately looking for at least a safe vitamin D supplement. Does anyone know of a safe vitamin D supplement brand? I'd love to know if there are any supplement brands that have absolutely no gluten (especially in flour form) in their facilities. I've heard of Kirkman having no grains in their facility - I may try this brand. Has anyone reacted to this brand?
