I Had A Beer In A Public Place!

Guess what I did today? I went to Busch Gardens Williamsburg with the family and I couldn't believe it when I saw RedBridge beer behind the counter! I was so excited. It was before the counter opened, so I sat near enough that I could see when it opened, and as soon as that sign turned to open - I was the first customer.

And I had a beer with my turkey leg (BG had sent me some gluten-free options for dining), and I don't know why, but it was so significant to me. I hadn't done that since October 2001.

And for those of you who have not tried Redbridge yet, it was quite tasty. I have had Bards Tale, Rampona Valley, and Grist previously, but I think Redbridge is the best by far.

Well, just wanted to share my special day with everyone.

That is so awesome! I am going to Busch Gardens Williamsburg this summer, and I will contact them to get a gluten free foods list like you did, it didn't even occur to me that they may have one.

Very cool. It took me 3 years of trying to get that list. So if you don't get a response before you need it, let me know and I'll send you what they sent me.

This is great. We have an annual pass to BGW. Love Apollo's Chariot, Loch Ness, and Alpengiest.

Hey Richard,

We have passes too. Enjoy the new "Griffon" before you have turkey legs, BBQ chicken, and Redbridge!

Gina,

I actually had the same experience (PF Changs in Richmond, Va) about a month ago. I had been drinking Redbridge since it came out last December but had not found it while dining out until recently. I can appreciate how nice it is to have a meal and a beer.

Tom,

That's good to know. I wonder if PF Change in Virginia Beach would be as good? I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

Yep my dad says (I don't drink) that Redbridge tastes kind of like Corona to him. A few restaurants where I live offer Redbridge as a beer option.

I see you are in New Hampshire. Merrimack, NH is the only AB location that produces Redbridge at the present time. I just read something on an NPR website that makes reference to the brewing process and how they make a batch every other week. According to the article the line shuts down for a period of time so it can be cleaned before starting the process. I would not be surprised if it is in more resturants there.

I would like a copy of the list Busch Gardens sent to you. Would you mind sending it to me? My email address is aasmith@net-change.com. If you have access to a fax, my fax # is (252)384-4800. We're going this weekend and I would really appreciate it!

Can you get it sped up crossing the border to Canada? Have heard lots about this beer and wanting to try it. Maybe Christmas? (Note I don't mention the year!)

Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
