Found Gf Hard Cider Beverage

[rmmadden]

A general FYI -- I was vacationing near the Lake Erie Islands last weekend and came across a hard cider alcoholic beverage called "K". I went on their website (www.Kcider.com) and in their Q&A section they answer the gluten question...it has none. I have a 4-pack chillin' in the fridge and now that I have firm info against any gluten I plan on trying it this weekend........stay tuned and I'll post my thoughts on taste, etc.

watch out for K. it's something like 7 % alcohol volume if i remember correctly, which is roughly double a beer. personally, i didn't like it much. i do LOVE strongbow but it's fairly difficult to find in the states. cider jack, woodchuck, woodpecker and magner's are good ciders. magners and cider jack a little less sweet than woodchuck and woodpecker, and strongbow is the dryest and has an alcohol volume of 5 % (or 6 % if you buy it in the republic of ireland haha)

i've tried both of the american gluten-free beers, bard's and ramapo valley, and i find cider is much better alternative plus much more widely available.

the only cider brand i know of to stay clear from is hornsby's

nice--it packs a punch i guess! i'll be interested to here bob.

astyanax-saw you mentioned strongbow. i have one in the fridge right now...haven't tried it yet but am looking fwd to it

I like K because it's not as sweet as some others and has a fuller body.

I hadn't noticed the alcohol by volume number, but remember that K comes in a smaller bottle.
