I sent an email to Bard's asking why, if they are manufactured in CA, we can't get it here. Following is thier response:

Lillyth,

Thank you for your email. You will soon be able to get our beer in California, especially in the Bay Area. The reason for the delay is that we have not been in California before and the distributors needed to be convinced that our beer was the real thing. Therefore the first batch out of California went to other states. Now that they have been able to try the beer, they are lining up to distribute our beer. So our beer should be available shortly.

Cheers,

Kevin Seplowitz

President. Celiac.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!

Hooray Beer!

I can tell you, from experience, that Bard's tale is a decent beer. I would drink it if I wasn't on a Gluten-free diet (of course at $11 per 6-pack I wouldn't drink much).

I'm happy for everyone in CA.

Luckily, we don't have to wait. Ramapo Valley Beer *IS* available in the bay area at both Whole Foods (Palo Alto for certain) and Rainbow Foods in SF.

Bard's Tale Beer has just shown up at our Local Hy-Vee. In fact, they have an entire display of it set up in the organic food section. I have tried it, and it tastes great with gluten free pizza!

I tried it last night at a meeting and it was only slighly less nasty than new grist. Just me, but I'd rather just have cider and have it taste good!

New Grist tasted like albuterol to me. YUCK!!!

Okay, so I've been begging for gluten free beer for every holiday for the last year and a half and I've never gotten any before. Yesterday was my birthday and my DH drove an hour and a half each way to go down to Maryland to get me a case. This was the first time in over two years that I've had a beer. Anyway, I know there are tons of other posts raving about Bard's Tale and how good it is, but I just wanted to reinforce, WOW! It tastes EXACTLY like real beer! I was so surprised! I just wanted to share because I knew you guys would be the only people who would understand the excitement of drinking a REAL beer for the first time in years. :D

I got this e-mail today. I thought I would share it!! Bard's is now in Kansas

gluten-free Beer Now Available in KS

Dear Bard's Tale Clan:

We are pleased to announce that Bard's Tale Dragon's Gold is now available in Kansas. It has been a long wait, but we believe it will be worth it.

Our distributor for Kansas is Standard Beverage Coporation and you can find their contact information at www.bardsbeer.com/distributors.asp. In addition, since this is our initial launch in the state, you will find 2 downloadable letters under Standard Beverage contact information. Give these letters to establishments that you want to carry the beer. Only your demands will make it readily available around the state.

You can find existing establishments carrying our beer by using our Beer Locator.

We sincerely thank you for your patience and ongoing support while we work to get you the beer you rightly deserve.

Cheers,

Kevin Seplowitz,

no offense, but

Ramapo doesn't taste that good to me -- its like a lemon in a stale beer.

I would rather drink a cup full of wheat than that stuff.

I get the heebie-jeebies just thinking about it!

Blech!

Is the Ramapo still very sweet. I bought some about a year ago and it tasted like bad mead. I'd much rather drink hard cider than the Ramapo although I heard they toned down the "honey notes." New Grist and Bard's, coming from a former quality beer drinker taste pretty damn good considering the ingredients.

Another vote here for the beer!!!! After 5 years without one, I had one on our anniversary in September. We went to the outback steakhouse and they had one!!!! Tastes like the real thing. Very cool :lol:B):D

Today I got my first bottle of Bard's Tale to drink. Went to lunch at Picazzo's Pizza and they had it there. I don't like it as well as the New Grist. But so far we don't have the New Grist in the health food stores here. So, today I bought 18 bottles of Bard's Tale (Whole Foods) before I tried it. Now if we get the NG soon, I HAVE to finish the BT's before I buy the other. Don't get me wrong, but I personally don't think it is as good as NG. I also thinks it has a little aftertaste. As slow of a drinker that I am this is going to last me some time.

Armetta,

Lunch the other day wasn't the same without ya!

We will have to get together and do lunch the next time I am down there!

Also, Picazzos gluten free flatbread and brie was really YUMMY! So is there oven roasted Hot wings!

I did not try the flatbread and brie. I had the shrimp and white sauce pizza and the wings. I wanted plenty of leftovers (LOL). Pete ordered his own pizza. But, now I know that whenever we go to Whole Foods, it is at lunch time, as Picazzo's is only 8 minutes away. Of course we only go to whole Foods about every 2 to 3 months as it is an 1 1/2 hours round trip.

Chris, glad you missed me. I missed meeting your girl friend ( and seeing you). She has been around long enough that I think it is time we meet. Has she met your Mom yet?

Armetta,

She will meet "The Mom" for the first time in November. Since they are both nurses, they should have a ton to gab about...

How was the shrimp pizza? I usually get sausage/mushroom/extra suace -- I love it!

Next time, I am going to try their hummus and flatbread...

The shrimp pizza was awesome. I loved the white sauce. Now that I know Picazzo's is only 8 minutes from Whole Foods we will go there more often.

I went to get a Bard's Tale beer out of the frig and the first one I grabbed was only half full. At the cost of this beer, this one is going back to Whole Foods. Hopefully I won't get a collection of 1/2 filled beers on the counter.

Since she is meeting Mom, then I assume a ring at Christmas and I get an invite to the wedding - he he. Besides YOUR biological clock is running out.

I can only presume and HOPE you are kidding...3 months does not 50 years maketh....

My clock is fine and should be for quite some time :)

Before I take any steps like that, I need to be more financially responsible and think long-term.

Yes I am kidding. And if I meet her, I promise not to bring up marriage. HUGS.

      fwiw, I add nutritional yeast to some of my recipes. since going gluten free I eat almost no processed foods but I imagine you could sprinkle yeast on top.

      Hi @Charlie1946 I am so sorry to hear you are suffering with this problem. Just a few other thoughts. I had debilitating anxiety prior to my diagnosis.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @Charlie1946, as an alternative to milk-based protein shakes, let me suggest whey protein. Whey and casein are the two main proteins found in milk but whey doesn't cause issues like casein can for celiacs. Concerning your question about celiac safe mental health facilities, unfortunately, healthcare facilities in general do not have good reputations...

I buy some foods on your list from Rani. I've been happy with their products. https://ranibrand.com/ Azure and Rani often use terms that skirt around explicit "gluten free". I've contacted both of them and gained some comfort but it's always hard to be certain. FWIW, my IgA antibody levels are very low now, (after including their foods in my diet) so it appears I am being successful at avoiding gluten.

      @Charlie1946, There are many vitamin deficiencies associated with PCOS and Celiac disease and mental health issues.  The malabsorption of nutrients caused by Celiac can exacerbate PCOS and mental health issues. Vitamin B 3 Niacin (the kind that causes flushing) improves sebaceous hyperplasia and PCOS. (300 mg/day) Vitamin B 1 Thiamine improves dysphagia, and with Omega Threes, Sjogren's, and PCOS.     (300 mg/day) The other B vitamins are needed as well because they all work together like an orchestra.   The fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, are needed as well.  Low Vitamin D is common in both PCOS and Celiac and depression.   Deficiencies in Niacin Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, Folate B 9, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D can cause mental health issues.   I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants.  My mental health issues didn't get better until my vitamin deficiencies were corrected and a gluten free keto/paleo diet adopted.   Though blood tests are not really accurate, you may want to get tested for deficiencies before supplementing, otherwise you'll be measuring the vitamins you've taken and blood tests will show blood levels that are too high. Yes, Thiamine TTFD and the other vitamins are available over-the-counter.  A B Complex with additional Thiamine TTFD and Niacin made a big difference to my health.  I follow a paleo diet, and make sure I get Omega Threes.  I took high dose Vitamin D to correct my deficiency there.   I've run through the mental health gamut if you would like to talk about your issues.  You can personal message us if you would be more comfortable.   Interesting Reading: Nutritional and herbal interventions for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): a comprehensive review of dietary approaches, macronutrient impact, and herbal medicine in management https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12049039/

      Hi @Charlie1946 I am so sorry to hear you are suffering with this problem.   Just a few other thoughts.  I had debilitating anxiety prior to my diagnosis.  I was never admitted to a hospital but thankfully had a lot of support from friends and family, and found a couple of publications contained really helpful advice:  for depression, The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi, and for debilitating anxiety, At Last A Life by Paul David.  Both can be ordered online, there is also a website for the latter.  If you are deficient in or have low iron or B12 this can cause or worsen mental health issues.  I am sure my own issues were caused by long-term deficiencies.   If you can get your blood tested, it would be useful.  In the case of iron, make sure you only supplement if you have a deficiency, and levels can be monitored, as too much iron can be dangerous. If you have burning mouth issues, very bad TMJ or neuralgia,  I understand the pain can be managed by the use of a certain class of medication like amitriptyline, which is also used to treat depression.  But there again, it is possible with the correct diet and supplementation these issues might improve? I do hope that you find relief soon. Cristiana

Concerning your question about celiac safe mental health facilities, unfortunately, healthcare facilities in general do not have good reputations for being celiac safe. Most celiacs find that they need to depend on family members to advocate for them diligently or bring in food from the outside. Training of staff is inconsistent and there is the issue of turnover and also cross contamination.
