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!

Yes and you can boil brats in it as well :) Brats and beer so happy :)

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.

      First, welcome to the forum, @boy-wonder! Second, a little clarification in terminology is in order. Granted, inconsistency is rampant when it comes to the terminology associated with gluten disorders, but it has more or less become settled in this fashion: "Gluten intolerance" is a general term that car refer to either celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). "Gluten Sensitivity" is the shortened version of NCGS. Third, Celiac disease is not an allergy to gluten. It is an autoimmune disorder characterized by gluten ingestion causing the immunes system to attack the lining of the small bowel, causing damage to it over time due to the constant inflammation that wears...

      Has anyone found a gluten free parakeet seed mix? I can't find a single one! My doctor wants me to make sure all pet food in the house is gluten free but I'm not sure if that's even possible with parakeets. We love our birds so much! I'm wondering if anyone has ever made their own bird seed mix if gluten free ones are not available.

      Hi, new member. About me, I had been suffering with weight gain, bloating and irregular and extreme bowel habits for a year or so. For example, I went on holiday in 2023, then again I  2024 at the same time of year and every shirt I wore in 2023 didn't fit anymore, couldn't even do the buttons up. Being in my mid 50s I put it down to age and middle aged spread. I'd been lucky all my life having good metabolism and being able to eat anything and as much as I like without putting on any weight, it drove my other half mad. Over a conversation with a friend health and age Related stuff came up and he mentioned someone he knew who had recently found out they were gluten...

      thank you, i have been doing that the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I had not had my ttg iga checked since I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago so I am not sure if they ever dropped below the 15-20 range.    all my other labs are completely normal but I am concerned that this may be signs of refractor celiac or something else since I'm so careful with gluten-free diet
