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.

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!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
