gluten-free Micro Brews In Ct

[babysteps]

My friend works for Stew Leonard's liquor store in Norwalk (across Post Rd from the main store) and she told me they now carry 3 gluten-free beers, at least 2 of them microbrews. I'm not a beerdrinker (wine for me!), but for those who are I know most of their prices are pretty reasonable so worth checking out if it's close to you

Thanks, babysteps!

Several years ago we were on vacation up in CT, and I just loved Stew Leonards! Do they still have all the dancing cows and other animated farm animals?

I've been going to Stew Leonard's since I'm a little kid.

When I was first diagnosed I emailed them to ask if they would ever consider doing any gluten free baked goods (because they have incredible baked goods). I got a very curt and rude email that basically in one sentence said, "no they would not."

I was annoyed, but I do still shop there; but on a much more limited basis / shopping list. They have great produce, meats and their fresh mozarella is the best. Around Passover they have a large selection of Shabtai Gourmet cookies, but that seems to be the only gluten-free savory treat I'll ever find there.

Next time you're there, ask them for Gilbert's Goodies cookies. They make 2 kinds of cookies (chocolate chip and cinnamon, I think). They are both very good. I understand Stew's is trying out a few gluen free products to see how they sell, so it wouldn't hurt to send them an email to let them know you're interested.
