Redbridge Beer

AB makes a gluten free beer! Made from Sorghum. As a self-confessed beer snob, I was so excited, but so worried. I like Belgium ales, domestic microbrews, brutally hopped IPAs. What would this be like?

Not bad. Not bad at all. Tastes, smells, pours like a beer. At 8.50 a six pack, about what I'd pay for something I'd usualy drink. I'm on my second six pack (not at once!), and I havn't been sick yet, so it's kosher for me at least.

So drink up boys and girls! It's good!

So glad to hear this! I'm a beer snob as well (hence the pain and tears!) <_< I really don't like

Bard's Tale...and I'm sure someone in Boston carries Redbridge. In fact, I think some of little local liquor stores do, according to the Busch site. Excellent! Thanks for the good news!

I'm enjoying my first taste of Redbridge right now :) Yum!

It's lighter than Bard's Tale, which I also like. If I were make a comparison from memory, I'd say that Bard's Tale is similar to Sam Adam's Boston Lager, and Redbridge is similar to Yuengling. Compares favorably price-wise, too: $7.99/6 for Redbridge vs. $10.99/6 for Bard's Tale, locally. Plus, the Redbridge vendor (small beer&wine only place) actually asked me whether I liked it and to tell everyone I know about it. They had at least 6 cases stacked in the front of the store and 6-packs in the cooler. At the huge liquor warehouse where I've been getting BT, I have to remind them everytime I go to order more; they won't order more than 2 cases at a time.

I'm so NOT a beer snob; I drank a lot of Budweiser before my diagnosis. I'm sure AB stock plummetted that day :lol: Guess I have some catching up to do (responsibly and in moderation, of course :) ).

To find Redbridge close to you, go to the website (Open Original Shared Link) and enter your zipcode. Enjoy!

I am a big fan of this beer!

Definitely more expensive than before (pre-dx) - but fairly affordable, at least here in Boston.

For those of you who used to like IPA's I think this tastes a lot like my favorite old beer - Sierra Nevada Pale Ale!

This is definitely worth a try, it's my favorite of all gluten-free beers I've tried!

I dunno. I think Redbridge has sort of a metallic aftertaste. Oh well, I'm happy we are at least starting to get options!

I agree it does have a aftertaste, I wouldn't say metallic, but definately not pleasant. It's a little strong for me (I'm used to a very light beer), but it's nice to be able to sit back and have a beer with friends.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      By plumbago · Posted

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
