Ghostfish Vanishing Point Pale Ale

According to Ghostfish brewing, the term Vanishing Point refers to the vanishing of your pre-existing expectations for a gluten-free beer, and I wholeheartedly agree. This beer isn’t missing anything you would expect in a “normal” beer. Nor does it have any flavors that you don’t expect in a good beer! However, when I was drinking this […]

Uinta Free Form IPA

Sometimes I find out about a new gluten-free beer far in advance and eagerly anticipate their arrival in my area to taste it. That didn’t happen with this beer. Instead, I recently received a phone call, “I’ve got a new gluten beer for you to try”. And just like that, a totally gluten-free IPA, that […]

Ground Breaker Squash Ale

You may be getting a serving of vegetables with this squash ale, but even if you don’t love vegetables, I still think you’re going to like it. Made with organic roasted squash, roasted, chestnuts and roasted lentils, all of that rich roasted goodness comes through clearly in this dark ale. The well-balanced flavors aren’t more on the delicate side, […]

Ground Breaker Dark Ale

The bold, dark flavor of this beer took me back a moment. Is this a new flavor? No, I’ve tasted and enjoyed beer this dark before, but it’s been so long (12 years) I had forgotten the taste! I’ve had a handful of dark gluten-free beers, but none that had hit those right notes that […]

Glutenberg American Pale Ale

Glutenberg calls this beer “the true flagship of Glutenberg Beers”, and after tasting it I can see why.  If you are looking for a good gluten-free American Pale ale (APA), look no further. Glutenberg has some strong beer offerings, including the 2016 Gold medal winning India Pale Ale. So when They call this beer their flagship, […]

Omission Lager

Omission Lager has become on of my staples. Because it has been picked up by so many grocery chains, it is one of the beers that friends and relatives will often have ready for me if I’m visiting their homes. This gluten-removed beer has that barley-taste that many long-time gluten-free people (like me) miss, and the […]

Glutenberg India Pale Ale

Not everyone likes India Pale Ales (IPA’s), and that’s because they can be very overwhelmingly dominated by the strong, flowery, yet bitter taste of hops. However, for those of us who like IPA’s, we really like them! If you are a fan of IPA’s, then I think you’ll like this one. The Story Behind India Pale […]

Brunehaut Organic Amber Ale

This Belgian Amber Ale is well crafted Ale and an excellent stand-by gluten free beer. I have limited experience tasting Belgium beers. In fact, there are only two Belgium gluten-free breweries that I’ve tasted, Brunehaut and Green’s. I couldn’t help but notice the similarities in both, including high-quality ingredients, and highly crafted tasting brews. In fact, I’d have to […]

Glutenberg White

I feel at a bit of a disadvantage when tasting Glutenberg White. This Belgian Wheat style brew is a style that has become popular, and commonly available since the time I was able to drink regular beer. If you ask me to review a lager or an ale my comfort level, and experience with these […]

Celia Saison

This Belgian-inspired Saison/farmhouse-style beer used to be brewed by the Alchemist. The brand was bought, and is now brewed by the Ipswitch Brewery. I never had the opportunity to taste Celia Saison while it was being brewed by the Alchemist, but I do know that it was relatively early in the gluten-free beer market, so that quality wasn’t so […]

New Belguim Glutiny Golden Ale

As a young guy growing up 20 minutes from the Canadian border I drank lots of Canadian Beers. The most readily available and in expensive was Molson Golden. This beer brings me back to my Molsen Golden days. Back then it was more about quantity than it was about quality, and Molson Golden fit the bill. This […]

Brunehaut Organic Belgian Blond Ale

I’ve been meaning to try this organic Belgium artisanal ale for several years, but it isn’t readily available in the area of North Carolina where I live. When I ran across it recently I bought a bottle right away. After trying it for the first time I wish I would have brought a six pack. Brunehaut […]

New Grist Gluten Free Ginger Style Ale

New Grist Brewery, one of the first gluten free brewers in the U.S. has created a new brew which is their pilsner-style Gluten Free beer and Added Ginger to it. This has both of the words ginger and ale in it, but this drink isn’t for kids. This is classified as a beer, but I’m […]

Green’s Discovery Amber Ale

Another of Green’s strong beer offerings, this Amber Ale is very drinkable, with a rich, complex flavor that speaks to the quality I’ve come to expect from this Belgian brewery. Tasting Notes: Look – I could tell right away why they call this an amber beer by the reddish, opaque, amber color. It poured with a light […]

NGB Gluten Free Lager

I’ve been hearing rumors that the local Trader Joe’s finally had a  gluten free beer in stock. Since there isn’t a Trader Joe’s in out town I asked my brother to pick me up Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Beer and he came back with this NGB gluten free Lager. I asked him why he didn’t bring me back […]

New Belgium Glutiny Pale Ale

As a person whose grown to love pale ales, this beer doesn’t disappoint. Interestingly I never liked pale ales in my “pre-gluten-free days”. It’s only been in the past few years that I’ve begun to really appreciate the hoppy, and citrus flavors, with the bitter aftertaste that is unique to this type of beer. And now […]

Foret Libre Saison Ale

  This gluten-removed Belgium Ale is an excellent, very drinkable beer, in fact it just became one of my favorite gluten-removed ales. This beer was hard to find, but well worth seeking out. Siason Ale, also known as Farmhouse Ale, is an old Belgium style that is typically brewed in the winter to serve in […]

New Planet Blonde Ale

Light beer made from Sorghum without the bitterness of Sorghum. I happened to be drinking this beer on a cold, winter day, but I could imagine that it would be much more appealing if served on a summer day. Overall this beer was uneventful, and too light on flavor to make it worth it for me. […]

Green’s India Pale Ale

Beers like this IPA are proof that you don’t need barley to craft a delicious and drinkable Pale Ale. Green’s has a reputation of brewing remarkable gluten-free beers and this, one of their newest offerings, is no exception. Enjoyable with a a earth and hoppy taste, with a bitter aftertaste, this is well worth trying. […]

Dogfish Head Tweason’ale

How cool is it that one of the U.S. top breweries makes this one-of-a-kind true gluten-free sorghum-based beer?  Dogfish Head brews this special brew between seasons, thus the name Tweason’ale. Because of this is isn’t always available. Before the days of gluten-removed beers that flaunt the taste of barley, us celiacs were limited to beers, like this […]
