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.

      Malt vinegar

      I have never been troubled by cider, wine or sherry vinegar but all best avoided to be safe.

      Malt vinegar

      This brings up a question I have. I feel safe with products that specifically say they contain distilled vinegar or apple cider vinegar, but I am not sure what to make of those that just say "vinegar". Some of these are store labelled as gluten free, but I don't feel confident. Am I being too picky?

      Pear Bread

      I adapted this to be a gluten-free recipe from www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/autumn-pear-bread. Wonderful flavor profile, great texture, fairly easy to make. The almond flavor from the almond flour complements the pear flavor. Ingredients 1 cup almond flour 1 cup sweet rice flour 1 cup millet flour 2 Tablespoons tapioca flour ...

      Help!!

      I agree with Trents' reply. In addition ... Your post does not say what you did with your child's diet after the blood test and prior to the endoscopy. Usually the Dr advises a "gluten challenge" prior to the test so that the inflammation is more pronounced and easier to see. On the other hand, if they didn't mention this, you may have reasonably restricted...

      Second chance

      @Jmartes71, I understand how frustrated you feel. I have been disappointed with the medical system myself. Have you read my story in my blog? What can we do to help you get better? Nutritional deficiencies are common in Celiac disease. Have you been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Which supplements are you taking?

      I adapted this to be a gluten-free recipe from www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/autumn-pear-bread. Wonderful flavor profile, great texture, fairly easy to make. The almond flavor from the almond flour complements the pear flavor. Ingredients 1 cup almond flour 1 cup sweet rice flour 1 cup millet flour 2 Tablespoons tapioca flour 1 cup sugar 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 6 tablespoons cold butter 3 large eggs, room temperature 3/8 cup buttermilk (1 tsp white vinegar + 3/8 cup milk) 2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ cup finely chopped ripe pears (1-2 med/large pears. You could peel them but I don't) Directions (optional) cut butter into pats, place on saucer in the refrigerator while prepping other ingredients In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. (I use a whisk to mix) Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (I use pastry blender) Combine eggs, buttermilk and vanilla (I use same whisk); stir into flour mixture just until moistened. (I use a mixing spoon) Fold in pears. (mixing spoon) Spoon into 2 greased 5 x 8 inch loaf pans Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans on to wire rack. Allow to cool completely. Not sure how long you can keep this at room temperature because it gets eaten quickly
