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.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
