I just found out that I have celiac disease. My job requires me to sometimes wine and dine my customers and other outings such as golf. My sister who has celiac disease says there are Gluten free beers out there but taste bad. Has anybody found a good man's beer out there and what is the availabilty of it. This may sound bad but this is one topic that concerns me. I've been on the ATKINS diet before so I think I will adjust there. I would rather quit drinking than to drink wine. Beer actually is what tears my stomach up the most.

You can do what my husband does and carry a flask of Jack Daniels in your golf bag. JD is gluten-free. Some still can't tolerate the whiskey ... sadly I have to stick to rum :angry:

Hey Jason! I have only tried 1 gluten-free beer, Bard's Tale Beer. It's pretty good. Actually, iced down really well it is excellent! And I have always loved my lager! Anyway, it is back in production after some exploding issues (not supposed to happen anymore) but it is not sold nationally yet. I don't know where you are but would recommend looking on their website www.bardsbeer.com to determine if it is sold in your area. I'm not sure about any others, I know there are some gluten-free beers made in England that can be shipped to you, depending on your state laws. I have yet to see any on tap. What a shame!

Hope this helps!

New Grist is quite good. It is a very light pale ale but has a strong hops flavor to it. Several others here have said the same about New Grist.

Hey Jason,

yep Bard's Tale is pretty tasty. Still miss a good "Hefeweizen" but def. better than no beer at all. I live in NoCal and there is no distribution here. Ordered it over the web at Interet Wines and Spirits (Open Original Shared Link) just saw it's even on sale today! Shipping is quite pricey but maybe you are lucky and can get it in your area.

Cheers!

So you want the bad news or good news first?

I hate to be the one to break the bad news but a gluten-free diet is nothing like Atkins. Its a shame your GP didn't make this clear but obviously he/she didn't.

gluten-free isn't about cutting down gluten, its about eliminating gluten from the diet.

It might sound similar but you can't just wipe the off crumbs from a burger or eat fries cooking in oil that has cooked onion rings.

You need to learn about hidden gluten and cross contamination.

FYI: I had exactly your attitude when I started out and I wish someone said this to me right at the beginning.

One fot he members (nini) has a start guide for newly diagnosed, I would recommend at least reading it.

The other thing to get used to is most gluten-free substitutes are just not even close.

Normal beer is pretty nasty ... until we aquire a taste for it :D and the gluten-free stuff is the same, its a different aquired taste and like real stuff we could probably sit drinking a few pints each and discussing that our fav is best because :D

I woudl reccommend testing out a few at home then ask nicely at the 19th hole oif they can keep a few chilled for you. You can proably give them the beer and pay anyway if iots expensed ... most bars would be glad for this since it helps on wastage .. they can put you down for a pint without the ATF counting the last drops and declaring some of waht they spilled.

Test a few out then order a few crates once you find a good one you like.

Good luck and please check out this site on things like cross contamination and hidden gluten.

Some funny commercials for it too. They also have a pretty good distribution of it. I live in Colorado, and no distributes ever carried any of the gluten free beers. Unlill LakeFront made one, as LakeFront has always had distribution out here. i know I've bought Lakefront in California too, so they likely have it. I also lucked out as the owner of the liquor store down the street of my house is Celiac, he ordered a boat load.

Its taste is fine to. I'd like it to be hoppier and a bit more dark. But then I was always much more of a fan of heavy ale's and hops.

Oh, I should have added this. I was questing for a gluten free beer alot before New Grist came out here to Colorado. Here are some links to other companies that have, or are planning to, make a gluten-free beer.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
