Gluten-free Beer By Bud

Well I finally had a Redbridge on Friday night. It was really just like a beer to me but I think I prefer Bard's Tale if I had to vote. Hard to say without doing a taste test side by side. I really mostly have beer at Braves games so now it's my mission to get Turner Field concessions to carry Redbridge. They already get AB in so they should be able to bring it in without issue. If you live in the Atlanta metro area and want to enjoy a brewsky at the games, please take a moment to e-mail the Braves (www.braves.com) and ask them to carry Redbridge at the stadium. There should be a phone # on the website if you prefer to call instead. Thanks!

Newbie here so this is my first reply. Let me start by saying I was/am a recognized beer judge and avid home brewer. I went gluten free (beer free) about a year ago. I thought it was hopeless until I found New Grist, then Bard's tale, and now Redbridge. My favorite is Bard's tale followed closely by Redbridge. I have to give some credit to A.B. for stepping up to the plate on this one.

The one piece of advice I can offer is do NOT to drink from the bottle. Use a clean glass either a pilsner or better yet a tuliped pint glass and let it warm up to about 40~45 degrees b/4 drinking. The flavors will be muted if it is served ice cold.

RedBridge beer is the best !!!! A large liquor store in KY called Liquor Barn has it for $7.49 a six pack (bottles). I bought 60 bottles!!!! I love this stuff , and it tastes great. Even my non gluten-free friends like it. I don't agree with it being light, as mentioned in an earlier post. I drank 5 of them and fealt full. But I like a "heavy" beer.

I've tried Redbridge and it tastes great, but there is only one problem, I seem to have a reaction to it! Anyone else?

You might have problems with sorghum. I had a terrible reaction to sorghum the one time I tried it.

I haven't tried Redbridge, or any of the other gluten-free beers, because I don't like the taste of hops. (That's probably heresy on this thread, but I'll take my chances...)

I used to enjoy wheat beer, which has wheat instead of hops, but of course that had a double dose of gluten. Do any of the currently available gluten-free beers come close to the flavor of wheat beer?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
