gluten-free Beer

has anyone had all three gluten-free beers: Ramapo Valley, Bards and New Grist? I was thrilled to find out a local beer distributor stocks all 3! In fact, it is about 1.5 mile from the Gluten Free Bread Basket in Chester, NY.I have been drinking RV since it came out and like it. Just wondering if any one prefers one brand over the other.

I've JUST tasted the Bards... first beer in 4 years!! It was delicious! I've read that one of the others is better tasting, but don't know which one. I'm thrilled to find the Bards... altho at $46/case... it'll have to be only an occasional treat!

I had the Rampo Valley and the Bard's. Bard's is awesome...more bitter. The Rampo one is more of a sweet honey beer.

My vote is for the Bards as well but I've heard the New Grist is pretty good too. If you like the heavier taste of an import (I would compare Bards to Bass ale) you will like it too! I haven't had a beer for so long. I rarely drink as it is and was tired of carrying in the hard stuff everytime we went to a get-together....it was everything I had hoped for and more!!!

I live in Michigan and I have tried the three beers you have in question. New Grist was the only brand available here when I was first diagnosed in June06 so I had a steady diet of that over the summer. To me it's a bit sweeter than reguar beer and on the lighter side. Then, a local specialty store started carrying RV so I tried it. I was not a fan of RV. I only bought a 6 pack and I still have one left (after cooking with a bottle to try to get rid of it). I was in Ohio a couple of weeks ago and bought some Bard's. I loved it! It's an amber beer with a fuller body than New Grist. So, if I had to rank them according to my taste I would start with Bard's, then New Grist, and then RV (but I would have a cocktail or glass of wine before going for the RV).

There's 4 beers - La Messangre is made in Canada and I've only had it and Bard's but the canadian beer is way better,in my opinion, my inlaws get it for me since they visit family there pretty frequently.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!

      I checked consumer labs that I'm a member of they independently check products for safely and claims the wolfs was rated great and bobs redmill buckwheat cereal. Ultra low gotten no dangerous levels of arsenic heavy metals, mold, yeast etc. plus they mention to refrigerate. I wonder if the raw buckwheat they rinse bc it's not toasted like kasha. Toasted removes the grassy taste I have to try the one you mentioned. I also bought Qia which is a quinoa mixed got great reviews.
