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...

      Neurologist says deficiencies are caused by some malabsorption

      Hi, I'm writing here to help my boyfriend who is struggling with doctors and exams that didn't go anywhere. Frustration led me to write symptoms and results from different exams to AI (since I saw the debate about AI as an assistant to diagnosis is wide open) and it said that celiac is the most probable cause of all his symptoms. But I need now opinions...

      diagnostic testing variance

      But you have already had the genetic testing done and you have results. You have one main celiac gene out of two main celiac genes. You have the HL-DQ8 gene. So, you do have the potential for developing celiac disease.

      oh wow that's so interesting! if I do re-scope, I will try to eat gluten more as well. when I do its super light. so maybe trying to keep that consistent for a while then the scope. plus i want to still do the genetic testing to rule it out. that would be so easy if that is negative then I for sure don't have it.

      Keep us posted about the scoping results. Make sure before the scoping you ask them to take several samples from both the duodenum and the duodenum bulb. Damage can be patchy and is sometimes missed if insufficient sampling is done during the biopsying.

      so all this info has been really helpful... thank you! I recently tested again and was IGA negative for celiac, but further testing says I am positive for one of the variants that is associated with celiac. (HLA DQ8) also says value 1 and 3 for HLA DQA1, but idk what that means. Anyway, now they are suggesting repeat scope. sometimes gluten makes...

      Neurologist says deficiencies are caused by some malabsorption

      Hi, I'm writing here to help my boyfriend who is struggling with doctors and exams that didn't go anywhere.  Frustration led me to write symptoms and results from different exams to AI (since I saw the debate about AI as an assistant to diagnosis is wide open) and it said that celiac is the most probable cause of all his symptoms. But I need now opinions from actual people. However, he doesn't show evident GI symptoms, it happens that he feels nauseous and has some bloating but those could be correlated to his mental health. He is now almost 24 and first symptons showed up at 17 with persistent hand tremors, almost as he is always cold, even when that's not true. He is also irritable and has troubles focusing and with short-term memory (often forgets what he was going to say, doens't remember where henleft keys etc..). There are other symptoms that come and go. For several days (from 1 or 5) symptoms described earlier are much more pronounced. Tremors affect other body parts as teeth start chattering, he has spasms with his head and his arms some of them being directed to specific targets and mimic voluntary actions (like slapping the nearest person, punching a door and throwing things). Other symptoms occurring in these episodes are shouting as he is feeling pain and has troubles speaking. He did some tests thinking it could be Wilson disease due to ceruloplasmin being low, but both urinary and blood copper was low (it was supposed to be high for Wilson). Zinc is also low, excluding the possibility of excessive zinc intake being the cause of low copper. Other low values were folate and alkline phosphatasis. He was diagnosed with an abnormal bipolarism disorder, treated with valproate but it just limited the frequency of those acute episodes. I hope we find an answer soon
