Abs Redbridge Beer

Has anyone tried Busch's new gluten free beer called redbridge? I was a major beer nut before I went gluten freen and I've really been missing hops. I was pretty into good beers and it certainly doesn't compare to them, but its very drinkable for gluten free food and the beer deprived. Since I found this beer a few weeks ago I've had 18-24 bottles probably. Since then I've started to show some symptoms of gluten including a major outbreak of DH. I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same problem. It could very well be that I've eaten something else but this is the only new thing that I've really consumed in major quantity I think. I could easily see some contamination if the plant is the same and uses the same grain mill or something like that.

Anyway, AB's redbridge, safe for you or a reaction?

I've had it, love it and had no gluten reaction

Went through a couple of cases before I got pregnant. Never had a reaction. It's good stuff.

I had only one and had some pretty bad gas pain from it. I also had a break out from it. I will no longer drink this beer. I'll stick to my Margarettas.

I am on my third 6 pack with no problems. I was just happy to have a reasonably priced beer that I could get locally.

The couple of cases and becoming pregnant weren't consecutive events, were they? B)

I had a couple this weekend for the first time, so far so good. I like the taste of Dragon's Gold better, but it's not $3 a six pack better.

i've never been a big beer drinker, but it tasted like beer to me. my non-celiac boyfriend says it has a weird aftertaste--definitely a beer you drink with a meal and not on its own. i didn't have a reaction to it--and just a trace of barley sends me to the bathroom.

It made me chuckle reading this thread about beer. Since so many people put pictures of themselves in their avatar, I always think it's that person "talking" when I read a post. As I scroll through the discussion of beer, it's a little girl wearing sunglasses and an infant!

No no no... :) lol... But I sure did love my Red Bridge before we started trying to get pregnant.

I have not had a problem with it. I am not a huge beer drinker (prefer wine) but on hot days nothing beats a cold one.

I too have tried this. I experienced some gas and discomfort, of the gluten reaction type, after drinking two beers on one evening. Tastes great and less expensive, but due to the timing of my reaction I will probably not buy it unless AB adds detailed information about the upper limit of gliadin storage protein concentration present in the final produt.

i have tried it also with no bad reaction. also not sure where your from but there is another beer out called "new grist" it is brewed in milwaukee by a company called "lakefront breweries" and i like it better than redbridge , but man it sure is nice to have a couple of options. I LOVE BEER!!!!!!!!!!!THE WEBSITE I THINK IS LAKEFRONTBREWERIES.COM hope you can find it

I have it every weekend without a problem. I guess I lucked out because I'm a big beer drinker as well.

Here are a couple other beers you may want to try:

New Grist

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
