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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
