Green's Gluten Free Beer

Hi all,

I am in the never ending search for a good Gluten Free Beer. The one I have found here (La Messagere) is quite good, but also very expensive! (Almost $20 for 6 bottles :o )

I contacted Green's Gluten Free Beer in the UK, and the told me they do not yet ship to Canada or the United States, but were looking for the best option.

I was wondering, if all you beer drinkers (celiac and non-celaic alike) would email them and ask when they plan to ship to us. I figure if they get enough requests, it may speed up the timline a little.

They make ONLY gluten-free beers, and they make 4 or 5 different kinds. From what I can tell, they also have a much smaller price tag on them the one ones currently available here.

Hopefully they can find a solution soon.

They might not have control of the timeline. In August, the TTB (used to be the ATF) is supposed to rule on what category to classify what we like to term "gluten free beer". Right now they aren't sure what to do with it! I bet it is causing a few slow downs in the import area as well.

We are about to have our labels approved, and the TTB will let us call it "Beer Brewed from Rice", and say, "Does not contain: Wheat, Oats, Rye, or Barley" on the bottle, but they are very picky!

We hope to have beer by Christmas this year, from a totally gluten-free brewery, and we have 6 totally different kinds. ;)

Cheers!

I hear ya on the Messagere! I feel embarrassed everytime I go to buy it cause everyone at the counter is shocked and asks me about it!!!!

I live in NewBrunswick and if you want them to carry a certain brand you have to go to them (NBLC) not the brewery. I've already been through this with Bardstale and have put in my request. Unfortunately, I don't think the price will be much different.

But I love my Strongbow now, I'm addicted to that stuff and almost prefer it to beer, goes better with meals ;)

I have sent a request as well. Thanks! I have tried 3 different gluten free beers, but they are all terribly hard to come by in Virginia.

I have had BardsTale, Grist, and Rampona Valley...But tell me more of this Strongbow - haven't heard of that-

Strongbow is cider, similar to Woodchuck. However, in the Clan Thompson mini-list it says that they couldn't confirm the gluten status. I know there are several of you who drink this regularly... Any input? Is the mini list wrong?

I already got a response from Greens beer that was at least encouraging:

"Gina,

Thank you for your e-mail. Please would you try us again in another months

time as we have quite an exciting agreement with an American distributor that

is in the early stages of discussion. We feel quite confident that we will

soon be able to offer our beers in the USA. We hope we can give you some good

news the next time you contact us.

Regards

Yeah Strongbow is excellent stuff. I can't imagine why it wouldn't be gluten-free. I'm extremely sensitive to stuff and my stomache can't tolerate a lot of things but I can drink that stuff with no problems.

It taste like apple juice, bit bitter/dry, not too sweet, carbonated, brewed.

Great stuff!

I have a lot of friends that drink it as an alternative to beer, in fact the NBLC ran out of the stuff a few months back. It sells like crazy now.

Groovy, I'll have to look for it. It doesn't sound very "beer like" though. One of these days I hope to find something that tastes like my faint memory of Miller Genuine Draft. (sigh)

Thanks.

You mentioned Woodchuck Draft Cider, is it Gluten Free? I have seen it but was not sure.

I have tried the New Grist it was the best gluten-free beer I have tried. Ramapo Honey Beer was too sweet and Bard's Tale was bad but that was when they were having all the problems with bottles exploding. I ordered the New Grist and Ramapo way to expensive.

Woodchuck is fine - I drink it all the time.

Woodchuck Dry is my fav - almost like beer...

BTW, I contacted Green's last year (almost to the day) to beg them to please ship me some (cost no object). They told me they couldn't do it, but to contact Wild Oats to request they start carrying it.

Sounds like they are making progress!

YAAAAAY!!!

Ace ciders and woodchuck ciders are both gluten-free.

I contacted Ace personally and Woodchuck is on the Clan Thompson list.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
