Bard's Tale Beer

I sent an email to Bard's asking why, if they are manufactured in CA, we can't get it here. Following is thier response:

Lillyth,

Thank you for your email. You will soon be able to get our beer in California, especially in the Bay Area. The reason for the delay is that we have not been in California before and the distributors needed to be convinced that our beer was the real thing. Therefore the first batch out of California went to other states. Now that they have been able to try the beer, they are lining up to distribute our beer. So our beer should be available shortly.

Cheers,

Kevin Seplowitz

President. Celiac.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!

Hooray Beer!

I can tell you, from experience, that Bard's tale is a decent beer. I would drink it if I wasn't on a Gluten-free diet (of course at $11 per 6-pack I wouldn't drink much).

I'm happy for everyone in CA.

Bard's Tale Beer has just shown up at our Local Hy-Vee. In fact, they have an entire display of it set up in the organic food section. I have tried it, and it tastes great with gluten free pizza!

I tried it last night at a meeting and it was only slighly less nasty than new grist. Just me, but I'd rather just have cider and have it taste good!

New Grist tasted like albuterol to me. YUCK!!!

Okay, so I've been begging for gluten free beer for every holiday for the last year and a half and I've never gotten any before. Yesterday was my birthday and my DH drove an hour and a half each way to go down to Maryland to get me a case. This was the first time in over two years that I've had a beer. Anyway, I know there are tons of other posts raving about Bard's Tale and how good it is, but I just wanted to reinforce, WOW! It tastes EXACTLY like real beer! I was so surprised! I just wanted to share because I knew you guys would be the only people who would understand the excitement of drinking a REAL beer for the first time in years. :D

I got this e-mail today. I thought I would share it!! Bard's is now in Kansas

gluten-free Beer Now Available in KS

Dear Bard's Tale Clan:

We are pleased to announce that Bard's Tale Dragon's Gold is now available in Kansas. It has been a long wait, but we believe it will be worth it.

Our distributor for Kansas is Standard Beverage Coporation and you can find their contact information at www.bardsbeer.com/distributors.asp. In addition, since this is our initial launch in the state, you will find 2 downloadable letters under Standard Beverage contact information. Give these letters to establishments that you want to carry the beer. Only your demands will make it readily available around the state.

You can find existing establishments carrying our beer by using our Beer Locator.

We sincerely thank you for your patience and ongoing support while we work to get you the beer you rightly deserve.

Cheers,

Kevin Seplowitz,

President. Celiac.

no offense, but

Ramapo doesn't taste that good to me -- its like a lemon in a stale beer.

I would rather drink a cup full of wheat than that stuff.

I get the heebie-jeebies just thinking about it!

Blech!

Is the Ramapo still very sweet. I bought some about a year ago and it tasted like bad mead. I'd much rather drink hard cider than the Ramapo although I heard they toned down the "honey notes." New Grist and Bard's, coming from a former quality beer drinker taste pretty damn good considering the ingredients.

Another vote here for the beer!!!! After 5 years without one, I had one on our anniversary in September. We went to the outback steakhouse and they had one!!!! Tastes like the real thing. Very cool :lol:B):D

Today I got my first bottle of Bard's Tale to drink. Went to lunch at Picazzo's Pizza and they had it there. I don't like it as well as the New Grist. But so far we don't have the New Grist in the health food stores here. So, today I bought 18 bottles of Bard's Tale (Whole Foods) before I tried it. Now if we get the NG soon, I HAVE to finish the BT's before I buy the other. Don't get me wrong, but I personally don't think it is as good as NG. I also thinks it has a little aftertaste. As slow of a drinker that I am this is going to last me some time.

Armetta,

Lunch the other day wasn't the same without ya!

We will have to get together and do lunch the next time I am down there!

Also, Picazzos gluten free flatbread and brie was really YUMMY! So is there oven roasted Hot wings!

I did not try the flatbread and brie. I had the shrimp and white sauce pizza and the wings. I wanted plenty of leftovers (LOL). Pete ordered his own pizza. But, now I know that whenever we go to Whole Foods, it is at lunch time, as Picazzo's is only 8 minutes away. Of course we only go to whole Foods about every 2 to 3 months as it is an 1 1/2 hours round trip.

Chris, glad you missed me. I missed meeting your girl friend ( and seeing you). She has been around long enough that I think it is time we meet. Has she met your Mom yet?

Armetta,

She will meet "The Mom" for the first time in November. Since they are both nurses, they should have a ton to gab about...

How was the shrimp pizza? I usually get sausage/mushroom/extra suace -- I love it!

Next time, I am going to try their hummus and flatbread...

The shrimp pizza was awesome. I loved the white sauce. Now that I know Picazzo's is only 8 minutes from Whole Foods we will go there more often.

I went to get a Bard's Tale beer out of the frig and the first one I grabbed was only half full. At the cost of this beer, this one is going back to Whole Foods. Hopefully I won't get a collection of 1/2 filled beers on the counter.

Since she is meeting Mom, then I assume a ring at Christmas and I get an invite to the wedding - he he. Besides YOUR biological clock is running out.

I can only presume and HOPE you are kidding...3 months does not 50 years maketh....

My clock is fine and should be for quite some time :)

Before I take any steps like that, I need to be more financially responsible and think long-term.

Yes I am kidding. And if I meet her, I promise not to bring up marriage. HUGS.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Nicbent35 · Posted

      Wow she was just playing with play dough yesterday and I actually thought i wonder if I have to worry about play dough! But no meltdowns yesterday. Is your daughter celiac or just gluten sensitive/intolerant? Your son still had to go on Ritalin after going gluten free?

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By growlinhard1 · Posted

      I had the endoscopy with biopsy done. I have gastritis and duodenitis at this point. The biopsy should provide the cause of the inflammation findings. How common are these findings when Celiac is the ultimate culprit?

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @cookiesyum, I lasted on staton for about a month before getting so weak I had to stop.   Switched to Nicotinic Acid and I posted the results in a previous post.  Instead of getting sicker and weaker on the statin I feel I am improving day by day.  Nicotinic Acid was first used for cholesterol in 1955.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      According to research, consuming gluten can potentially trigger sudden mood swings and increased irritability in children, particularly those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, making them more likely to have tantrums or display behavioral issues; this is because gluten can trigger an immune response in the body, potentially impacting brain function and neurotransmitter levels.  When my son was diagnosed in 1976 when he was weaned his doctor told us that at 5 years old his kindergarden teacher would beg us to put him on Ritalin.  And so it did happen.  My son was on Ritalin though high school.  In the morning he was a devil who could not put on his socks. Half an hour after the morning dose he was an angel wanting to help mom get ready.  Talk about Jekyll and Hyde! Dr Danel Amen could be a good resource for you.

      Yes, it certainly can! My daughter has a reaction from just playing with Playdough. She doesn't get GI symptoms at first, just psychological mostly. It can get really bad. It's like night/day behavior. My daughter is eight, but started showing signs around 6.
