Hey, I did a lot of reading on beer today, had no idea there are some out there we can have. Ohhhhhhh, that is great.

My question is, what does it cost? I emailed them today to see if anyone sold it around here and got a response that they will ship it anywhere, but I'll bet it costs an arm and a leg. I responded that I wanted a price quote....no answer yet.

Thanks,

Lisa

The beer features a bright golden color and has an alcohol content of around 5.5%. To make a beer gluten-free, no barley or wheat is used. It includes honey notes and a touch of molasses in the flavor. Only "noble" hops are used for flavor and aroma. Brewed in dedicated fermenters using kosher yeast. We are

in the process of pricing and shipping costs. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us directly, GNSRSES@aol.com. You may contact us directly for shipping 1-845-369-7827.

Ramapo Valley Brewery

We are located at 122 Orange Ave. Suffern, NY 10901

The beer is $30 plus shipping for a case of 24 12 oz bottles. They are also willing to ship out a six pack.

I found this on another site....and, yes, the shipping is outragous!

I just received an email from them quoting $19.01 for shipping of a case to me in Montana, I didn't think that was too bad since I ship collectibles and antiques for a living, I know how outrageous shipping has gotten. That works out to just over $2 a bottle, it is pricey, but I would do it if I had the money. As soon as I do, I will! Of course I will be drinking very slowly....

I just tried the RVB Honey Lager last night. It's not bad. It's pretty sweet, but I think it will satisfy my craving for beer. Cheers!

I ordered a case a few days ago and am anxiously awaiting it's arrival. The lady who took my order said this is the third batch they've made and that it keeps getting better. She said this batch isn't as sweet as the last. It was $35.00 a case plus $10.00 for shipping. My 40th birthday is coming up and it'll be wonderful to have some beer after NOT for 2 years. ~~Wonder if the bars would let me bring in my own that eve??? :ph34r: I won't want to drink anything else. :blink: I'm SOO excited!!

The beer order arrived over a week ago. It's wonderful!!! I can't believe it!!!! :D I let my husband have a sip and he agreed that it just taste like plain old GOOD beer. (I told him if he wanted any more he'd have to pay me :o) He keeps taunting me and saying I'll have it finished off before my birthday arrives in a week. I still have 16 left, no problem.

It IS a little on the sweet side, or at least it hints at being sweet because of the honey. But it's a "dry" honey flavor. Very yummy. Also very potent!! That concerns me a bit, here in the US isn't beer supposed to be under a certain % of alcohol--which is why folks come back from Canada with beer because in Canada they're allowed to make it stronger...???

I had 2 the first day, without having eaten much, and they just about knocked me on my butt. :blink: I was surprised.

Anyway....anyone on the fence about ordering, go for it. I always enjoyed the more complex beers like Newcastle, & Killians, so if that's the kind you like (used to like to drink) then you should enjoy the Ramapo as well. The brewery claims they have started to have waiting lists.

I understand there's another gluten-free beer out there -- Bards Tale Beer. But, I haven't been able to find it anywhere. I think it may be in Europe?

thanks for the help in finding one here.

--"While we are a U.S. company..." I think they are in the NorthEast....

This explains the long hold up in their beer production. (I've been watching their site for 2 years now...)

I wish them the best of luck!! (creating the recipe is the hardest part! ;) )

Amstel Light mght not have wheat (a lot of beers don't) but I think it's a good bet it has barley. It's not gluten-free.

This is the message I received back from Amstel, I tried the beer and did not have any reaction, I am very sensitive to Gluten and normally react within 30-45 minutes, so far so good.

Dear Ms. Johnson:

Thank you for your recent email message. We appreciate you taking time to

contact us, as we value comments from consumers. Heineken USA has been

informed by our parent company, Heineken NV, that our beer does not contain

wheat or other grain adjuncts. Our recipe contains only barley, hops,

yeast and water. Although barley has a source of gluten, the gluten

contents of our products is lower than the gluten free level.

Consequently, Amstel Light is considered gluten free.

Thank you for your interest in Heineken USA.

Kind Regards,

Kristen

Heineken USA

Gluten free to me means completely free of gluten, not "our beer has gluten but it falls below some arbitrary line." Also, when they talk about being below a certain level, I guess they're talking about some European standard, where it's my understanding they are indeed allowed to have a certain amount of gluten and still be considered gluten-free. The U.S., in fact, has no standard whatsoever. In Canada, as I understand, gluten-free means no gluten at all.

Of course the reality is that we're probably gettings traces of gluten frequently, but I prefer to avoid something that I know has gluten in it, no matter how small the amount.

Ohhh, seems to good to be true. I wish someone could get independant tests done, I would love to have a kit that tested for gluten. I am one who doesn't react right away so it is scary. It seems good that you didn't react Pauline, please repost if you end up with delayed reaction o.k.? :)

Very interesting about the Amstel light, since ramapo vally has shot up to

60.00 a case from NY to Virginia. That's just a little too high.

please let me know if you have reactions, as i have silent Sprue

(can't tell if I ate a truck load of wheat and barley)

I need to battle this osteporosis that the disease has caused and would love to

be able to drink beer at my 25 high school reunion!!!

You already may know about this beer. So I apologize if so. Please go to the FAQ's. This beer was created by two Celiacs.

Haven't tried, came across from my mid-evil studies. I'm going to order some and will let you know!

Have a great day!

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
