Hi, I am new to the site. The doc says I have Celiac Disease. Having two issues with it. One which I have a handle on now. I like P&J sandwiches, but I have found a few good bread recipies.

Then #2. Where is the a list of Gluten free beers? I have a week spot for the harder achohol and need to stay with beer. Can anyone help me out? Would like to get it in a can if possible.

Thanks, and take care B)

Redbridge by Budwiser is pretty good - but expensive. There is another I heard is pretty good too, but even more expensive - Bairds Tale

I hadn't had a buzz in probably 10-15 years, but this past school year was so awful that I decided that I was definitely going to have a beer on the last day of school when I got home. Of course, being on the gluten free diet, I had to plan ahead, so I went to the Whole Foods Market and bought a six-pack of Bard's Tale Beer-Dragon's Gold (it even has a cool name). It's made from sorghum and is awesome! There were quite a few gluten free brands from which to choose, but that's the only one I've tried.

I found some Redbridge. Not to bad if I must say. To bad it is pricey kinda like a micro. I t will do. I will just learn to savor it in an icy mug.

I have tried the New Grist Beer, and Redbridge. I like Redbridge better. It's pretty good.

I have never seen gluten-free beer in a Can. I think bottles are easier for smaller runs/batches/production.

That's funny - I like New Grist better!

Red Bridge by Anhueiser Busch - easy to find, tasty (picture Heineken mixed with Sam Adams and Sierra Nevada), priced the lowest

Bard's Tale - Dragon's Gold - the best IMO, harder to find, very pricey

New Grist by Lakefront - a lighter beer, harder to find, very pricey

Romapo Valley has a gluten free beer - never tried it, couldn't find it

There are a few more, but they're very hard to find. So long as you don't live in PA, you should be able to find Red Bridge at your local super Walmart or grocery store. The others are much harder to find. Red Bridge is the best priced as well. I'm sure Tom will pop up with some input as well. :) (Hi Tom!)

My husband likes Red Bridge, but also New Grist by Lakefront Brewery (out of Milwaukee).

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
