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

Green's Gluten Free Beers"

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.

      Oh yes I can understand the tiredness after going threw all that, must be exhausting especially on the mind I have high aniexty so I can understand that , I wish there more easier ways for people to get help , I had a MRI on my spine some years ago without anything it was really quick and no prep , I understand the need for  them to see better with the bowel ,but you think they would use something a little less traumatic  for ibd sufferers on the bowels by now ,I hope your feeling better today 🙏

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      still struggling with cravings

      By wellthatsfun · Posted

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.
