Redbridge Beer

[nephlim]

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 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.
