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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Bard’s Gold

I first had Bard’s several years ago. At that time it was one on the few gluten free beer’s available, and I was happy to have it. In the past few years Bard’s hasn’t been as readily available in my local stores in North Carolina. I found this bottle, the first I’ve had in 5 years, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

New Planet Seclusion IPA

New Planet Brewery, known for its sorghum-based gluten free beers has brought us something new and different. Perhaps this gluten-removed brew is called Seclusion because its so far and different from New Planet’s other gluten free offerings. To further differentiate this beer they have offered it in a 12oz can, not a bottle. In fact this may […]

Craft Beer, Domestic, Gluten Free Beer, Kombucha

Unity Vibration Kombucha Pale Ale

Kombucha beer has emerged as an entirely new style of beer. Combining the health-centric characteristics of fermented Kombucha tea, with elements of traditional beer, this hybrid brewing process has created a new, and interesting new category of naturally gluten-free beer. This one-of-a-kind K.P.A. (Kombucha Pale Ale) is my first foray into Kombucha beers. In terms of tasting, this drink really was […]

New Grist Gluten Free Pilsner

New Grist Pilsner was one of the first gluten free beers I encountered that was worth drinking. This sorghum-based pilsner style beer is well-crafted and widely available. It has become a staple at gluten-free friendly beer stores and restaurants. This was the very first gluten free beer to be granted Gluten Free designation by the US Government. New Grist was […]

RedBridge Guten Free Sorghum Beer

American Amber / Red Lager. Anheuser-Busch’s (Budweiser) gluten free offering. Their product was already 90% rice-based, why not tweak a few ingredients and make it gluten free to hit a growing market? Two good things about this beer: It’s inexpensive and you can find it in most grocery stores. The taste isn’t bad, it’s on […]
