Redbridge

I like to use Redbridge in my beer batter for deep frying. Gives it a yummy flavor but haven't been able to find it here in Colorado. My sister in law asked at a liquor store and was told it wasn't being produced anymore. Anyone got a scoop on this?

I find it hard to believe. Still available here in our local Village Market, and Nevada is the gluten state :D And it's not because nobody's buying it - they often run out.

I actually read a few articles about this just yesterday. If you google Red Bridge Beer you can do the same.

The first stated the same thing you are posting here to which I was quite pissed off.

There were other articles stating that the beer had to be reformulated due to the alcohol content being over 4%. Apparently, there are 5 states that would not allow this beer to be sold out of supermarkets due to the limit being 3.2%. So the production of the beer was shut down for a month of so during this process.

There were several quotes from Anheuser Busch's stating that the beer was not being discontinued.

I hope this is true since it is the most availble of the gluten-free beer.

I live in one of those 3.2 beer states. They have reformulated it and now none of the liquor stores will carry it. Only grocery stores. But most of them only carry a really small section of beer, so its hard to find here.

I just emailed them. i looked at the website and the stores that are supposed to carry it don't have it. Let you know if I hear anything.

Colorado is a 3.2 state so that explains it.

From reading the article I got the impression they were reformulating it so they could be sold in all states.

Maybe the new batches have started shipping yet.

And you said liquor stores won't sell it but grocery stores would if it is over 3.2%. WOW - I would assume it would be the other way around.

I live in Jersey so we only have a couple odd liquor laws.

It was reformulated to come down to 3.2%. Here grocery stores can only sell 3.2% or lower. The liquor stores won't carry 3.2 beer because its at groceries and they are cranky that way.

Wow, that sucks. I like redbridge as it is. A more watered down redbridge is not going to be so good. Are all states going to get this new version? What needs to change is silly laws, not the beers.

Redbridge is widely available here. Walmart, and any large grocery stores have it. Of course Whole Foods and Central Market carry it.

I would love it if it tasted like Coors. I don't like a beer with a strong aftertaste, especailly if it's also a bad aftertaste, like the original Redbridge, which was terrible IMO. The new reformulated version is much better. I'm guessing they changed more than just the alcohol content.

best regards, lm

I was having to drive over to the next city or spend $12 for Grist beer at my local organic store. I was happy that my local Lowes Foods started carrying it. My local Walmart does not. I'm still waiting on the Synders pretzels...soon I hope!

My husband emailed them and got a response that they are having a tough time delivering here in Colorado but did give him the GROCERY stores in Colorado that does have them and the closest is about 40 minutes away being on our way to Denver when we go to a Rockies games....so there is hope! Being 3.2 won't bother me as long as the taste is still good.

Some liqour stores here told Hub that it wasn't available. What they mean is that if the grocery can sell it , they won't. Pffbbb!

Maybe you could email my friend Tony here that told me where they think it was recently delivered. Would be curious what he told you. I know one of the stores he said should have it, didn't. I had been there right before I got his note.

Please read KARENG's post in this thread. She has an email from the company stating it is not being discontinued.

They did stop making it for a month to reformulate it so your liquor store maybe confused.

      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.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Tammy Pedler · Posted

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.
