Okay... I know there has been a lot of talk about different gluten-free beers being off the market. I have a new one for you....

New Grist Beer from Lakefront Brewery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I am not sure where this is available. I live in the Milwaukee area and bought it at a liquor store today. They just started carrying the beer and are almost out. It is very good! I am (or was) a lite beer drinker. I am SO excited about this beer!

The best part is this... Tonight was my "suprise" 30th birthday party from my dad's side of the family. They thought enough of me to check Wisconsin for gluten-free beer. Which, I may add, untill now carried nothing!! When they checked this liquor store ( a large one) they were told that the liquor store just started carrying it and they were out already!!! That is a great sign!! If enough people want it, they will continue to carry it! I have something to put in the cooler now for all of the tailgate parties and backyard cookouts! This is a breakthrough for us in Wisconsin! I hope it makes it to other parts of the US. My aunt did check the web site and said there was no info on the gluten free beer. I am not sure how new it is. I know my bottle was brewed the 3rd week in October.

Check it out all!! Enjoy! :D

I just checked the website and I didn't find that particular beer. But I'm really excited because Lakefront beer is available near where I live! That means I could probably just request that they get this new stuff in for me.

Lakefront rolls out gluten-free beer

Lakefront Brewery Inc., Milwaukee, has introduced New Grist, a gluten-free beer for consumers who suffer from Celiac disease, or gluten intolerance.

Brewed from sorghum and gluten-free yeast grown on molasses, New Grist is designed for consumers who are on restricted diets due to intolerance to gluten, a protein found in common brewing grains such as barley, wheat and rye.

"You never realize how important it is for some people to have a beer," said Russ Klisch, Lakefront president.

Lakefront is marketing the brew as a barley- and wheat-free product pending governmental guidelines for all products claiming "gluten-free" status, Klisch said.

New Grist is being sold in six-packs of 12-ounce bottles for $6.99.

Lakefront plans to make New Grist its first brand available to consumers throughout the United States.

my dad bought me a case of this the other day!! I live in chicago and he found it out in the western suburbs. I am such a beer girl - so i was practically in tears when i saw all that beer - all for me!! apparently he talked to the liquor store manager and the manager said that the Bard's Tale beer had been recalled because there were many cases of the bottles just exploding on the shelves - i actually heard this from a liquor store in my neighborhood as well. this new stuff is good. Its a little sweeter than a regular beer. More like a cross between a cider and a beer. i dont care if it tasted like sludge - i would have drank it. i miss beer so much. big fan of Grist! the store manager said that tons of people were buying the beer over the holidays - so i think thats a good sign! its catching on. the manager said he would definitely order more!

New Grist

It has a better body and a nuttier finish than Bards anyway -- I liked it!

Its not a "Light American" beer, but I was hoping it wasn't anyway....

I am not sure how you can get it. I went to their website... lakefrontbrewery.com. There was a place to contact the brewery. They answered in just a few days.

Good Luck!

New Grist is now available (as in just today, I just bought the first sixer) at B&G Liquors in Chippewa Falls, WI if anyone is interested and within driving distance.

We asked at our favorite liquor store about gluten-free beers and they didn't have any but said if we found the brand name and brewery they would order for us!! Great customer service, but we live in a pretty small town.

I'm looking forward to having beer again. :D:D:D

They told me (like BardsBeer) to call a distributor and get them to order it.

I am going to have to rally the Vegas Celiacs into some action....

Just thought I'd share this article. It was in the Milwaukee Journal. It is "the" newspaper in the Milwaukee area.

Lakefront Brewery Inc., a Milwaukee craft brewer, has launched a new beer that is aimed at people with an illness that leaves them unable to tolerate gluten, a protein found in wheat and other grains.

New Grist Beer will be targeted to people with celiac disease. It is brewed with sorghum, and it is the first U.S. beer brewed without malted barley or gluten-containing products, according to Lakefront.

"We're glad New Grist makes it possible for people with celiac disease to finally have a beer," said Russ Klisch, Lakefront president, in a statement. "And I'm very pleased with the initial requests and compliments for this product that have been pouring in from around the country."

New Grist will be the first beer Lakefront has sold nationally.

The company sells around 6,000 to 7,000 barrels annually. Lakefront's beer lineup includes brands that pay homage to Milwaukee neighborhoods, such as Riverwest Stein and East Side Dark.

Lakefront also brews several seasonal beers, such as Big Easy Beer, which peaks in sales around Mardi Gras, and Snake Chaser Stout, which is popular around St. Patrick's Day.

Most of Lakefront's sales are in Wisconsin and northern Illinois.

An estimated 3 million people in the United States are living with celiac disease.

      Dangerously underweight, Perfect gluten free and insomnia

      @SaiP, Insomnia is listed as one of the side effects of Loratadine. Niacin B3 in the form Tryptophan, Pyridoxine B 6, Folate B 9, Cobalamine B12, Magnesium, and Thiamine B 1 are needed to produce the sleep hormone melatonin. Insomnia can also be caused by low Vitamin D and low Vitamin A. A strict gluten free diet can be low in essential...

      Earlier, you mentioned the possibility of adding in sweet potatoes. Have you tried that? Have you tried sourdough bread? Some people with celiac disease claim they can eat sourdough without a gluten reaction. The fermentation process alters the protein somewhat.

      Welcome to the forum, @Karen Chakerian! So, for the sake of clarity, you have self-diagnosed yourself as having celiac disease but are not officially diagnosed by medical testing. Is this correct?

      Getting rid of the belly bloat

      I’m 70 years old and have RA for 25 years. I’d never had digestive issues or even heard of celiac until 2 months ago. 6 years ago I started having serious diarrhea, dropped what little weight I had, became very exhausted, developed rapid onset blood pressure and other symptoms. I went to the doctor for an unrelated matter and even with my records he ...

      Getting rid of the belly bloat

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Karen Chakerian, We need more information, please.   What homeopathic remedies or medications are you taking now?  Do you still have the blood pressure and other symptoms?  What is included in your diet currently?  Dairy? Oats?  Processed gluten free foods?  Vegetarian?  Other food allergies?  Do you take vitamins?  When gluten is removed from the diet, the body stops making the anti-gluten antibodies that are usually measured in blood tests used to diagnose Celiac disease.  To measure the anti-gluten antibodies, you would have to consume 10 grams of gluten (4-6 slices of bread or equivalent) per day for a minimum of 2 weeks or longer.   A DNA test which looks for the most common genes for Celiac Disease may be a less invasive avenue to pursue.  Has your doctor checked you for nutritional deficiencies? Glad you're here!

      @SaiP, Insomnia is listed as one of the side effects of Loratadine.   Niacin B3 in the form Tryptophan, Pyridoxine B 6, Folate B 9, Cobalamine B12, Magnesium, and Thiamine B 1 are needed to produce the sleep hormone melatonin.  Insomnia can also be caused by low Vitamin D and low Vitamin A.   A strict gluten free diet can be low in essential  vitamins.   Gluten containing products are required to replace vitamins lost in processing and milling.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to have vitamins added.  White rice is not a good source of B vitamins.  Brown rice is little better.  Exposure to light (even grocery store lights) and heat (during transportation) can destroy B vitamins.   B vitamins are easily lost in urine and diarrhea because they are water soluble.  If you have had diarrhea longer than two weeks, you are probably low in B vitamins.  Fat based vitamins, like Vitamins D and A, can be low due to fat malabsorption in Celiac disease, too.   Damaged villa in Celiac Disease do not absorb B vitamins and fat based vitamins and minerals well.  Supplementing with essential nutrients while villi heal boosts the ability to absorb essential vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins are stored and utilized inside cells.  Blood levels are not accurate measurements of vitamin deficiencies.  You can have normal blood levels while having deficiencies inside cells.  The brain orders cells to release their stores so the brain and heart can keep functioning.  This results in normal blood levels, but vitamin deficits inside cells.   Your indulgence in a little bit of bread is providing some, but insufficient amounts, of vitamins needed to make sleep hormone melatonin while keeping your inflammation and histamine production high.   In addition to a B Complex, I took 1000 mg of tryptophan before bed to correct my insomnia caused by high histamine levels.  Correcting my Vitamin D level to between 75-100 nmol/ml helped as well.  Also Passion flower extract is helpful in falling asleep quickly.   Please stop eating gluten bread as this will keep your autoimmune response triggering and your antibody levels won't go down and your histamine levels will stay up as well.   Celiac is a marathon, not a sprint.  P.S. I wanted to reiterate that insomnia and weight loss are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  Thiamine is water soluble and nontoxic even in high doses.  High doses are needed to correct thiamine deficiency. All mitochondria in cells utilize thiamine.  The World Health Organization says to take 500 - 1000 mg per day of thiamine and look for health improvement.  Diets that are high in carbohydrates like rice and gluten require more thiamine.  For every 1000 calories from carbohydrates, we need 500 mg more thiamine.  Thiamine is found in meat.  Few veggies contain thiamine. Can you rise from a squat without assistance?  This is the field test for thiamine deficiency used by WHO.  If you cannot rise easily from a squat you may be thiamine deficient.

      I’m 70 years old and have RA for 25 years. I’d never had digestive issues or even heard of celiac until 2 months ago.  6 years ago I started having serious diarrhea, dropped what little weight I had,  became very exhausted, developed rapid onset blood pressure and other symptoms. I went to the doctor for an unrelated matter and even with my records he told me they have ‘pills’ for all those things; which I turned down and sought to deal with this with homeopathic remedies.  Mid October 2024 my guts hurt terribly and started to swell. My massage therapist asked about celiac and I started to do research on it. It absolutely fits all the symptoms so I’ve been gluten free since 2 days before Thanksgiving but the huge gut persists. Thankfully the pain and cramps are gone. I look like a 90# pregnant skeleton.  I’m exhausted and looking for some encouragement from the tribe. I have good days and bad. I know living with an autoimmune disease sucks but this is even worse than the RA.
