Anyone had this yet? It is so good...the best I've had so far. I'm so happy, the beer store down the street now carries Red Bridge and Bard's Tale. I have a choice!!!

The restaurant we LOOOVE to go carries Red Bridge. :D

Found Redbridge @ Giant Eagle in Cleveland. It's good. It's also good to have some choices especially outside of the health food store route. Paid $7.90 for a six pack.

I still think Bards Tale is better but Redbridge is good as well. I think this one will survive due to the fact it is made by Anheuser Busch.

Hopefully, it will be more readily available then the others.

I tried to buy this today and they were out. I am not a huge beer drinker but wanted to compare it to New Grist, which I like. The liquor guy said that the Red Bridge has been very popular and that A-Busch underestimated how popular it would be. He cannot get the stock he wants and if he does it is gone quickly. Just glad to see it sell!

:P My husband and I both loved the new Red Bridge beer. At the Publics I go to the beer rep say's he has 4 customers that buy a case each, each week. So now we are customer number 5 to buy a case a week. I think my husband will now live....

I finally got the Redbridge...and it tastes great...like normal beer...which is a taste I'm definitely going to have to acquire :) but the hilarious thing is that my friends saw beer in the fridge and just went to town and LOVED it, I was like HEY THAT'S MINE!!! they were shocked that it tasted "normal" :P

That is awesome- my friend who owns a liquor store started carrying it because it was less expensive than Bard's tale.

I have a question though. If beer is on draft, as opposed to bottled, we probably couldn't drink it? :blink: Are all the tap lines the same?

maybe it won't matter as you'll just get it bottled in a bar. Just thinking out loud.

I don't know what KilKenny is...BUT I did find out that gluten-free DOES NOT mean hangover free ....hah :P

I have to agree about Redbridge....good stuff. I'm not incredibly picky about beer, I was just happy to have something else to drink since I can't tolerate wine. But my husband is picky, and even he thought it was pretty good.

What's even better, is that I can buy it at Walmart!

Yes!! I recently saw the Red Bridge Beer in the health section at the grocery store. I didn't buy it because I didn't want to pay $9.00 for a six-pack on something I may not like. Thanks for your input!! I'll try it next time. At this point I'm not sure I have celiac disease. I'm currently doing the self-proclaimed detective work. Thanks, Dave

I haven't seen any of the other beers mentioned here but everyone is right. To me it tastes like a Fat Tire when I thought I was able to drink anything but preferred a little better quality. It has that micro-brewery taste...a good flavor. I used to make pale ale and a few others. I wonder if they have a gluten-free beer kit to make?

I was a big fan of it until I found out that each beer was 174 calories and 20 grams carbs.

-That's like drinking 2 Miller Lites (which I can handle fine). But interesting enough, I only seem to really respond well to Miller Lite.

I just got a 6 pack of that... trying it tonight. I can't get Bard's Tale yet, but I'm trying. I hesitate to try anything made by A-B, though, but since my choices are limited, I'm going to try it.

If you like a lighter tasting beer New Grist is okay (like Bud or along those lines) as well. I like to mix it with a dark and dry cider to give it a bit more "oomph"

If anyone likes and misses microbrews, then i whole heartedly suggest Green's Ales. It is from Belgium and a bit expensive, but at 7% abv, you only need one, lol! The owner/brewer is also a celiac! I have tried the dubble and the tripple,and they are fantastic and in my opinion, the gold standard for US gluten-free brewers to strive for. I hope the US distributor will carry more variety soon. Here is a link to the website: (and no, I don't work for them.... yet, lol!)

One of the advantages to Redbridge I've discovered is that it's made by anheuser busch. While no store within an hours drive of me stocks it, I was able to ask a small local market if they could order me a case. It turns out not to be a problem. Just about every store that carries beer receives AB deliveries on a regular basis. If the driver doesn't have it on the truck, he can get it next time around. Yes the store tacked on overhead, but I'm so thrilled to have something to drink I don't care. And a case is going to last me a while since I only drink one or two a week.

Oh and I was surprised by how good it tasted. I was prepared to grin and bear it if I had to, but it's actually very good :D

Everyone's tastes are different, but Redbridge is definitely a drinkable beer.

My personal favorite is New Grist, but if I can't find it, Redbridge is definitely a decent alternative.

There's something special about being able to bring a six pack of beer to a football tailagate, as opposed to a bottle of Chopin Vodka.

Drinking beer at 10AM in a parking lot is OK. Vodka will get you some looks.

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.

      There are eight essential B vitamins. They are all water soluble. Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys. Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.
