Anyone had this yet? It is so good...the best I've had so far. I'm so happy, the beer store down the street now carries Red Bridge and Bard's Tale. I have a choice!!!

The restaurant we LOOOVE to go carries Red Bridge. :D

Found Redbridge @ Giant Eagle in Cleveland. It's good. It's also good to have some choices especially outside of the health food store route. Paid $7.90 for a six pack.

Cleveland Bob ;)

I still think Bards Tale is better but Redbridge is good as well. I think this one will survive due to the fact it is made by Anheuser Busch.

Hopefully, it will be more readily available then the others.

I tried to buy this today and they were out. I am not a huge beer drinker but wanted to compare it to New Grist, which I like. The liquor guy said that the Red Bridge has been very popular and that A-Busch underestimated how popular it would be. He cannot get the stock he wants and if he does it is gone quickly. Just glad to see it sell!

:P My husband and I both loved the new Red Bridge beer. At the Publics I go to the beer rep say's he has 4 customers that buy a case each, each week. So now we are customer number 5 to buy a case a week. I think my husband will now live....

I finally got the Redbridge...and it tastes great...like normal beer...which is a taste I'm definitely going to have to acquire :) but the hilarious thing is that my friends saw beer in the fridge and just went to town and LOVED it, I was like HEY THAT'S MINE!!! they were shocked that it tasted "normal" :P

That is awesome- my friend who owns a liquor store started carrying it because it was less expensive than Bard's tale.

I have a question though. If beer is on draft, as opposed to bottled, we probably couldn't drink it? :blink: Are all the tap lines the same?

maybe it won't matter as you'll just get it bottled in a bar. Just thinking out loud.

I don't know what KilKenny is...BUT I did find out that gluten-free DOES NOT mean hangover free ....hah :P

I have to agree about Redbridge....good stuff. I'm not incredibly picky about beer, I was just happy to have something else to drink since I can't tolerate wine. But my husband is picky, and even he thought it was pretty good.

What's even better, is that I can buy it at Walmart!

Yes!! I recently saw the Red Bridge Beer in the health section at the grocery store. I didn't buy it because I didn't want to pay $9.00 for a six-pack on something I may not like. Thanks for your input!! I'll try it next time. At this point I'm not sure I have celiac disease. I'm currently doing the self-proclaimed detective work. Thanks, Dave

I haven't seen any of the other beers mentioned here but everyone is right. To me it tastes like a Fat Tire when I thought I was able to drink anything but preferred a little better quality. It has that micro-brewery taste...a good flavor. I used to make pale ale and a few others. I wonder if they have a gluten-free beer kit to make?

I was a big fan of it until I found out that each beer was 174 calories and 20 grams carbs.

-That's like drinking 2 Miller Lites (which I can handle fine). But interesting enough, I only seem to really respond well to Miller Lite.

I just got a 6 pack of that... trying it tonight. I can't get Bard's Tale yet, but I'm trying. I hesitate to try anything made by A-B, though, but since my choices are limited, I'm going to try it.

If you like a lighter tasting beer New Grist is okay (like Bud or along those lines) as well. I like to mix it with a dark and dry cider to give it a bit more "oomph"

If anyone likes and misses microbrews, then i whole heartedly suggest Green's Ales. It is from Belgium and a bit expensive, but at 7% abv, you only need one, lol! The owner/brewer is also a celiac! I have tried the dubble and the tripple,and they are fantastic and in my opinion, the gold standard for US gluten-free brewers to strive for. I hope the US distributor will carry more variety soon. Here is a link to the website: (and no, I don't work for them.... yet, lol!)

One of the advantages to Redbridge I've discovered is that it's made by anheuser busch. While no store within an hours drive of me stocks it, I was able to ask a small local market if they could order me a case. It turns out not to be a problem. Just about every store that carries beer receives AB deliveries on a regular basis. If the driver doesn't have it on the truck, he can get it next time around. Yes the store tacked on overhead, but I'm so thrilled to have something to drink I don't care. And a case is going to last me a while since I only drink one or two a week.

Oh and I was surprised by how good it tasted. I was prepared to grin and bear it if I had to, but it's actually very good :D

Everyone's tastes are different, but Redbridge is definitely a drinkable beer.

My personal favorite is New Grist, but if I can't find it, Redbridge is definitely a decent alternative.

There's something special about being able to bring a six pack of beer to a football tailagate, as opposed to a bottle of Chopin Vodka.

Drinking beer at 10AM in a parking lot is OK. Vodka will get you some looks.

      Hello,   I contacted the makers of Alpine Original Spiced Cider Drink Mix and they sent me this email.....   Subject: [EXTERNAL] Fw: Ref.

      Family education

      By trents · Posted

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Oh yes.  I would never recommend taking it for an extended period of time.  When 70% of my body was covered in blistering itchy sores, an amazing doctor prescribed it diagnostically because I was unwilling to do a gluten challenge after already going strictly gluten-free in desperation after 10 years of suffering and being poo pooed by dermatologist after dermatologist. The fact that it stopped the itch and mostly cleared the rash after about 2 months was diagnostic for him.  I stopped it and have remained strictly gluten-free with very few flares since that time (over 10 years ago).  So the fact that it cleared the rash was diagnostic for me.
