Gluten Free Beer At Outback!

I talked to the manager at my Outback Steakhouse tonight and she's going to see about ordering gluten free beer for the menu. I've asked several times before, but this time they brought out the manager that's in charge of ordering. She was very friendly and told me that she would do everything she could to get some gluten free beer in that restaurant. This is a huge deal for us since you can't get gluten free beer anywhere in eastern PA. You have to travel to Maryland or Jersey to get it. Ugh...

So... If you live near Lancaster, PA and you go to the Outback Steakhouse, PLEASE ask for them to stock gluten free beer! I'll let everyone know if they actually start carrying it.

Woo-Hoo!!! Beginning Tuesday my Outback will be adding Bard's Tale Beer to the menu. This is really exciting because as far as I know, Outback will be the only place within two hours of here that has gluten free beer. :D

FYI,

If Outback got it in, they had to go through a local (PA) distributor. Chances are, you should be able to get the regular Bards "Six-Packs" in a beer store or grocery store now...

They didn't get it from anywhere around here. I asked. PA liquor laws are really, really ridiculous. They aren't allowed to carry beer in the grocery store here, and I've checked with every distributor in the phone book in Lancaster county and NONE have it or can get it. Ugh... Luckily Outback will be selling six packs of Bard's Tale now. She said that the distributor they use serves Lancaster County restaurants, not the general public. She was very nice.

I thought ridiculous liquor laws were contained to the Bible Belt deep South- guess I was wrong! :)

That's exciting news for you and shows what persistence can do.

Guhia,

If you go to Bardsbeer.com and look for store locator you will find one in Bridgeville PA, I don't know if thats close to you. Its about 10 minutes from Pittsburgh. I live in Ohio and can recently find it 45 minutes away from our house in Zanesville at a store called the Winerack. They also carry New Grist and one other beer that is Gluten free. We live 45 minutes from Washington PA, (I'm not sure how close that is to you) but if it is let us know and we can meet you at Target with Gluten free beer.

Thanks, but Pittsburgh is over 4 hours from where I live. We're in the very South Eastern tip of PA, practically in NJ and DE. Luckily we found a way to get the cases without driving two hours. A friend lives right near a liquor store that carries them.

Where in NJ did you find gluten-free beer? I've checked with two large wine/beer/liquor stores in my area and neither carry it nor want to.

Most supermarkets in NJ do not sell wine/beer. I only know of one and they will be closing their store soon. I vacationed in NC and I like how Food Lion has beer and wine in their store...it's so convenient to pick up a bottle of wine with groceries at same store.

Maybe now all Outbacks will institute this gluten-free beer selection.

It was in Elkton, MD at State Line Liquor.

Go to your local Outback and ask to speak to the manager in charge of ordering. Ask him/her to please begin carrying Bard's Tale (that is apparently the easiest to get) and explain why with their whole gluten free menu and what not. We asked and within a week we were able to go in and sit at a table and drink a nice, cold beer, just like everyone else. :D

I haven't seen any gluten-free beer anywhere around here! Where in the world do you find it? Any oregonians out there who know where to get brew? Congrats on your outback, thats pretty cool. Maybe I'll start pestering the manager at our outback here in salem...he he he..... :P

Guhlia,

As you neighbor over here in Hershey, I agree the laws are more than silly. Would it kill them to lighten a little. It probably about brought the state to it's knees when they decided to open the spirits shops on Sunday. :) I am glad you got your Outback to carry the beer, you are awesome!!!

Guhlia, Outback has a policy of rewarding employees when they get a positive customer letter/email about the employee. Write a letter or send an email to Outback corporate, and let them know how pleased you are with this employee and with having the beer available. It will give the employee a boost, which might make that employee and any others in that restaurant an incentive to be even more celiac friendly, and it will also let corporate know that there is a need for this at all the restaurants. Can't hurt, might help.

I am a from Washington but I just learned that Widmer Brewery in Portland is brewing a gluten free beer! It is called Widmer Hooligan Pale Ale. As for as I know it is only available at the brewery for now. I am ready for a road trip!

I had some from Widmer, Portland Oregon, that was great and I didn't get sick. If you are in Oregon try New Season's Markets. They have been publishing that they were suppose to getting some gluten-free brew (I think Bard's) in this month.

You know I was wondering about widmere, microbrews are big around here I thought they might make one thats good to know. I have an old friend, who's dance instructor is a brewer at a place here in salem called thompson's, I was going to ask her if they have a gluten free beer their also. Also, my father has a friend who actually makes his own beer...I don't know about that though...lol.....

Debbie, I wrote Outback a letter commending this manager for her efforts. She's such a sweet girl, I hope that they do reward her in some way. She certainly deserves it. Thank you for the tip.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
