I think the site is still in its infancy stage...hence why the retailer info isn't working correctly.

Here's the AB press release link:

AB said the site is not functional yet but will be soon.........hopefully then the retail locator will work.

In the mean time you can call the toll free AB number (www.budweiser.com) and ask for the number for your local Bud ditsributor and they can tell you if it's coming to your area. Apparently some bars/restos will be offering it as well - yea!

Publix update - I called the store closest to me and was told they may get the beer tomorrow but if not, they will have it on the 26th.......the Publix 2.2 miles down the street from the first store says they think it's there but not up on the shelves yet so she has to call me back to see when it will be available for purchase. She will also tell me the price per 6-pk. So Turtle - you should be able to get it if you are here on the 26th if not before!

Woo Hoo!!!!! My distributor is going to try to have it in my Wal-Mart by Friday, day after tomorrow!!!!!

Happy dance...happy dance

:D:P:lol:

Thanks for the tip, Floridanative. I called 1.800.DIALBUD, and they gave me my local distributor number. Also, at 1800DialBud the "voice on the other end" said that it did "go national" on Monday, so that it's not a matter of IF it will come to my area, but a matter of who will carry it locally. My local distributor said he just got it in, and.......Wal-mart on Friday :)

Hehehe, I'm not even a big drinker, beer or otherwise, but mandatory deprivation plays games with cravings.

Thanks for linking to that article, Patti. It was nice that they also gave Bard's Tale, New Grist, and Romapo Valley props.

Big Article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in the Business Section on Redbridge rolling out nationally. It will be $7.99 for a six pack and sold in organic and health food stores. Can't wait to try it!

Just a quick FYI, apparently the recall on Red Bridge was due to suspected contamination. Supposedly there was no contamination afterall and beer was returned to all distributors. We bought our second case tonight and have still had no problems with it.

I'm not a beer drinker, but this is all exciting! I think its great that it is obviously made with "our" population in mind, especially since it is such a growing market! And, great publicity! It encourages me that they worked with the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness on this.

Another neat link:

I just wanted to follow up on what floridanative said, as far as Redbridge beer in the metro Atlanta area. It is now available (at least as of 12/20/06) at Mac's in Midtown. I bought a six-pack last night there and it was fully stocked in the refrigerated case. It was buried in the middle with all of the regular beer so you kind of have to hunt for it. It was around $8 with tax.

As for the taste test...I am pleasantly surprised. This is definitely a decent beer. It reminds me of some of the products the local breweries here put out, which I always enjoyed. Obviously it's been awhile since I've had regular beer but I did have a friend taste it who drinks regular beer and she thought it was pretty good as well. It would be great to get other gluten-free labels in here just for a little variety but for now, I'm happy to have a little "brew" back in my life!

They actually have it in our little burg in the wilds of far NE Washington state. I bought a bottle the other night to have with my low carb, gluten-free pizza. I have never been much of a beer drinker (it always hurt my stomach, for some reason :rolleyes: ) but I thought it was good. My wife tried it and said that it was actually something she would drink. I almost feel like I should buy it just to help it be successful.

It's funny - the main reason I tried it was because I could, not because I wanted beer. Weird, huh?

I didn't see them talking about it, it was just the words that run across the bottom of the screen that said that AB has released a new sorghum beer for people allergic to wheat. It did not mention Celiac Disease.

I totally agree...for me it was wanting what I couldn't have. I've always preferred wine over beer, though I was becoming a budding beer snob before the celiac disease kicked in. Still, it was really just about the only thing gluten-free out there that I hadn't tried so that made the anticipation even greater. :)

This will mainly depend on "our" input. I have talked to reps of my local distrubutor about putting it in the supermarkets. I don't see that being a big problem. Also I talk to the manager/owner of resturants I frequent about the availability of products like this. They talk to the route sales person of the distributor who in turn make the necessary arrangements to make this happen. "We" will be the driving force for where this ultimately shows up. Call or e-mail any business (store, resturant) that you would like to see this product sold. Since AB is national then it could go almost anywhere.

Grrrr.... I can't find anyone carrying this, and even my requests for it don't seem to be that important on their own. So everyone contact your local stores and ask them to carry this. Especially if you happen to be in the Northern Virginia area. :P Or if anyone in this area knows somewhere that is carrying this let me know!!

You guys have Whole Food up there, right? You may want to call them up and ask...I kinda think they'd have it. My friend owns a restaurant so she said she'll pick me up a case from her distributer...I can't wait!!!

      Wheatwacked, are you speaking of the use of potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide as dough modifiers being controlling factor for what? Do you refer to celiac reactions to gluten or thyroid disease, kidney disease, GI cancers?

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide. Both linked to cancers. Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers. A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027.

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      They don’t give a sample size (serving size is different from sample size) so it is hard to tell just what the result means. However, the way the result is presented does look like it is below the limit of what their test can measure, so that is good.

      Excess iodine supplements can cause significant health issues, primarily disrupting thyroid function. My daughter has issues with even small amounts of dietary iodine. While iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production, consistently consuming amounts far above the tolerable upper limit (1,100 mcg/day for adults) from high-dose supplements can trigger both hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, worsen autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto's, and lead to goiter. Other side effects include gastrointestinal distress. The risk is highest for individuals with pre-existing thyroid conditions, and while dietary iodine rarely reaches toxic levels, unsupervised high-dose supplementation is dangerous and should only be undertaken with medical guidance to avoid serious complications. It's best to check with your doctor before supplementing iodine.

      In Europe they have banned several dough modifiers potassium bromide and and azodicarbonamide.  Both linked to cancers.  Studies have linked potassium bromide to kidney, thyroid, and gastrointestinal cancers.  A ban on it in goes into effect in California in 2027. I suspect this, more than a specific strain of wheat to be controlling factor.  Sourdough natural fermentation conditions the dough without chemicals. Iodine was used in the US as a dough modifier until the 1970s. Since then iodine intake in the US dropped 50%.  Iodine is essential for thyroid hormones.  Thyroid hormone use for hypothyroidism has doubled in the United States from 1997 to 2016.   Clinical Thyroidology® for the Public In the UK, incidently, prescriptions for the thyroid hormone levothyroxine have increased by more than 12 million in a decade.  The Royal Pharmaceutical Society's official journal Standard thyroid tests will not show insufficient iodine intake.  Iodine 24 Hour Urine Test measures iodine excretion over a full day to evaluate iodine status and thyroid health. 75 year old male.  I tried adding seaweed into my diet and did get improvement in healing, muscle tone, skin; but in was not enough and I could not sustain it in my diet at the level intake I needed.  So I supplement 600 mcg Liquid Iodine (RDA 150 to 1000 mcg) per day.  It has turbocharged my recovery from 63 years of undiagnosed celiac disease.  Improvement in healing a non-healing sebaceous cyst. brain fog, vision, hair, skin, nails. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis celiac disease experience exacerbation of the rash with iodine. The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect Crying Wolf?
