As a former student at Florida State, I miss tailgating before football games or watching football with beer and snacks. SO... what the heck beers can I drink? Bards beer isn't sold in FL...I heard a rumor that Rolling Rock is gluten-free and made from rice,anyone know what I can drink? I feel like an alki drinking a screwdriver at 10am, lol.

Bard's Tale is gluten-free, and not bad. They're out of production at the moment, but should be back to it by the end of the year.

Some of the hard ciders are gluten-free. You can search this message board for the exact ones. Its kind of like a beer.

Also, Ramapo Valley Brewery used to ship gluten-free beer made from honey. The website is Ramapovalleybrewery.com. You can contact them to see if they still ship. It was expensive when they did.

I doubt Rolling Rock is gluten-free. Never heard that one before and I've been dealing with C/D for 3 years.

i think cider is much better than gluten-free beer and it's much cheaper since you can get it at a lot of liquor stores (instead of shipping). hornsby's is the only cider that ISN'T gluten-free (at least last time i checked) that i know of.

strongbow, cider jack, woodpecker, wood chuck, K are all gluten-free

I know how you feel..... I almost cried when I had to go gluten-free and found out that Mott's Clamato Juice contained gluten. I LOVED my weekend Blood Caesars with a BBQ in the backyard......

(Bloody Caesar is a Canadian thing...... Vodka, clam juice, worshteshire sauce, tabasco sauce, celery salt) Best drink in the world, and I can't have it any longer!!!! (Sob, sob.... :( )

Oh well, now all I have is the odd glass of white wine - sorry, just doesn't cut it.... <_<

New Grist Beer is awesome! It is manufactured by land lakes. The webiste is www.newgrist.com. My husband just ordered this and received his shipment yesterday...he was very pleased with the taste, as was I. It's a bit pricey, but not any worse than a beer in a bar!

BEWARE If you're looking for a gluten-free beer that tastes like...beer - don't get the Ramapo Valley. It tastes more like a cider/honey wine. It is VERY sweet!

I found putting a lemon in the Ramapo Valley beer makes it taste better. Try it like that before you dismiss it.

Go to this site

www.lakefrontbrewery.com

Talk to the guys about bringing "New Grist" where you live

Then

Talk to Whole Foods or Wild Oats about the product

Then

Talk to a distributor in the area about getting it.

Repeat this several times with numerous emails.

Eventually they will succomb and bring you the sweet sweet beer.

It took me 3 months to accomplish it in Vegas, but I wore them down eventually.

If you are determined, it can work!

I tasted New Grist (thank you silent member for giving me a bottle). And I find that it tastes like real beer. I have already called the manager of Henry's Market (Wild Oats) and he is going to call Lakefront. He asked many of his gluten free customers about beer and they all wanted some. So, I am sure it will take a little time, but we will get it in Mesa.

I drink the Woodchuck granny smith cider. It has a pleasant taste and it looks just like a Heineken bottle. Chances are no one will know the difference. :)

If you call them, they are affiliated with a shipping compnay that will ship you a case. However, that costs like $70

My post was meant to encourage everyone to bring your local health food stores (Henry's, Trader Joes, Wild Oats, Whole Foods) and Lakefront brewery together. Normally, they will not do it by themselves.

They need "help". And that "help" is where you guys come in. Call the store, distributors and the brewery and get them on the same page.

Basically the brewery will do it if a distributor will carry it.

The distributor will carry it if a store will sell it.

A Store will sell it if it knows people want it.

So, start with the store and work yourself up. Like I said, this takes some manpower on ourbehalves, but its worth it.

I love being able to go to the store and picking up a "sixer". You will too...if you don't mind a little elbow grease.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
