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.

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates? https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
