 UK Gluten Free Beer  Posted by
There have been a lot of enquiries on the site for the availabilty of Gluten Free Beer .
The website www.ale4home.co.uk has no 113 "Against the Grain" 4.5\%ABV 12 x 500ml bottles at 21.50 case +£7.75 carriage. Christmas and New Year has seen a rush of orders so the word is getting out. This is the only commercially available UK brewed beer and is the result of an enquiry from Finland where there are a lot of Coeliacs

Greens and Heron also sell gluten free beer in the UK but I don't know where it is brewed.

Dear Alice
I am sure they are delicious but they are not brewed in the U.K they are brewed in Belgium. I can't fault them but I think it is good to support our own small breweries

Post a reply to this message, or post a new topic

 Re: UK Gluten Free Beer  Posted by
you can't support what isn't being produced, and why support something that does not taste nice?

Heron is poor, Bi-Aglut is horrid, Greens is the only beer that actually tasteslike beer.

Greens developed the beer, he's british and we should be supporting british entrepreneurialism

 Re: UK Gluten Free Beer  Posted by
Dear Cazza,

You obviously haven't tried "Against the Grain" this is not only developed in East Anglia but it is also brewed there as well and is only available through the Fine Ale Club. (website www.ale4home.co.uk)

There has been excellent feed back, someone who was diagnosed Coeliac 10 years ago is thrilled to be able to have the real taste of real beer again after all that time. some members have made their second order. Membership is free after buying the first case of beer and then members can benefit from special offers and join in events.


Greens is O.K. but it is brewed in Belgium

 Re: UK Gluten Free Beer  Posted by
I could'nt resist browsing your net.We Coeliacs are still very parched in Australia.
However we are advised by [as I know] a couple of our smaller breweries that we may get some relief by the end of February.
In the meantime you good people drink up and we will do our best to catch up.

Kind regards, Dave Woods

 Re: UK Gluten Free Beer  Posted by
David,

I understand that Green's is coming your way as well over the next few months so you will probably end up better off than us here. I do not know what other gf beers there will be, all I can say is that Green's is delicious and is a range of 3 products, a lager, a bitter (highly regarded by CAMRA over here) and a stout....and for you it is likely to an oasis in the desert!

I could not imagine a hot climate and no beer. That's just cruel

Ben,

I live fairly local to Thirsk, (Darlington) can you buy direct from the brewery?? or do they serve it in the local Pubs in the vicinity.

Have tried "Against the Grain" and was really impressed so I am looking forward to trying Hambleton Ales effort but it seems a little more expensive to mail order a case, I would like to save some money by picking a few bottles up myself!

Hi

In reply to Gillian Lawlor, many Co-op supermarkets now stock Green's beer. There's now a list of stockists on Green's website (www.glutenfreebeers.co.uk), which is extensive but incomplete - I was pleasantly surprised to find two local independent off-licenses that now stock the Discovery bitter. If you have a good independent near, why not ask them to order a case for you? I'm sure they'd be interested to hear about it, if they haven't already.

Hello from down under,

My friend is shattered at the prospect of life without beer (as she has celiac) so I've been on the hunt for gluten free beer for a Christmas present. It's a shame that we don't appear to have this product readily available in Australia as there is a massive and growing market for it. Thanks for all the tips.

Hello to you all. There is another that is brewed in the UK. This is Nick Stafford's Hambledon Ales. I prefer it to Greens as it is a lower gravity (4.2\%) and bigger 500ml bottles.

Anyone out there know where I can buy Gluten-free Suet please?

Best wishes.

 Re UK Gluten Free Beer  Posted by Mark
There is now one source for information about all gluten free beer - worldwide -

www.glutenfreebeerfestival.com

As it is completely independent from any brewer, truly international, gets a tasting panel for every GF beer tested, and is run "for-the-love-of-it" by coeliacs, it is giving all the info you need all in one place.

There is a gluten free beer festival held yearly, and next year brewers from around the world are turning up with casks of their brews. Apparently many more new brews to come, a new lager to be widely available in the UK, and anohter in the US. Details are going to be posted at www.glutenfreebeerfestival.com

The French lager on ASDA GF list is a mistake- Coeliac UK say no ordinary beer is safe for coeliacs, only the special GF ones.

Stick to the GF beers (as named on CAMRA Chesterfield GF beer festival web site).

 Re UK Gluten Free Beer  Posted by Paul
Greens ale tastes like stale dishwater to me!

However many coeliacs report being able to tolerate certain lagers, depending on quantity. Corona is often mentioned as OK, and I find I can tolerate it. Brahma is ok for me personally as long as no more than 4 bottles, Cobra Ok in 1 or 2 bottle quantities.

The absolute no-no is any beer containing wheat, since most of us seem to have a higher intolerence to wheat gluten. Therefore wheat or white beers are toxic! Also they are cloudy from deliberate wheat content!

It is a matter of debate of course as to whether we should risk low levels of gluten at all - and whether we can get away with some glutens better than others, e.g. oats rather than wheat. Research indicates we vary in this regard with some coiliacs able to tolerate oats and spelt, others having problems with even the rice varient of gluten (rice starch). I seem to be able to tolerate small amounts of barley gluten in beer and oat gluten in one particular "oat" ale. In food the levels are too high and make me ill. I guess its a careful try it and see, but please dont make yourselves ill on my suggestions!

I will not pretend to be an expert on this one or give medical advice, but perhaps the above will be of help to some people!

Incidentally in regard to Whisky - having done some research and corresponded with some experts including distillers the following might be helpful
Scottish whisky is either single malt or blended.
Blended whisky tends to contain wheat.
Blended whisky is more likely to have residual impurity, including wheat gluten.
Single malt contains only barley as a source and is always at least double distilled. Some are triple distilled (mainly low land).
In theory blended whisky is risky, single malt should be OK, and Laphroig in particular are adament their product is gluten free.
This only applies to Scottish Whisky, I have no info regarding Irish or US/Canadian

As a whisky buff and enthusiast, I have noticed blended makes me ill, single malt just makes me happy! So the information I gathered seems to be pretty accurate.

Nigerian Guinness now available at Tesco.

If you've never tried this, then worth a try. I've been registered coelic for the last 4 years, and have become quite partial to this. As it's brewed from sorghun instead of wheat, and has a sufficiently low gluten content my dietician has confirmed it is ok to drink.

I actually prefer the roasted taste to that of Irish Guinness...

 Re UK Gluten Free Beer  Posted by Ben Cowell
Hi All
Further to my last mail, I think Sept 2006
Well we have achieved our aim, a gluten free pilsner beer! Our brewery team and lab have done the biz! As I explained when I first posted our target, our aim was to create a gluten free pilsner beer. Well, it’s beyond all my dreams. Though we have done our own lab checks, I'm waiting for two UK labs to confirm the results (GF). Our first tasting with a CAMRA judge has confirmed our flavour etc, but until all the i s are dotted we will not go public, but it tastes great, and though I wanted a beer, until I tasted it I would not have believed it! We have produced over 10k 33cl bottles. We shall be doing further tastings, and then we shall the be offering the results of out first mash at cost & shipping. We cannot ‘sell’ it as we have not defined our shelf life, but it’s anticipated as over 6 months. All I can add is that the guys at the brewery and lab have done me proud! To quote the taster
Overall impression much closer than before to a standard pilsner-clone
lager, i.e. it tastes like beer. Can still tell it's not made with barley,
but it's a lot less obvious. Definitely miles ahead of any other gluten-free
beer I've tasted so far.
So not bad, maybe we can improve it, but as my friend who had not (been able to digest a beer for 8 years said after the 3rd bottle, 'this is liquid heaven'!
Log into our new site & leave your details (if you want to) and we’ll keep you updated on our progress I anticipate an early December for limited deliveries.
Cheers

Ben sent me a sample of his Gluten-free Pilsner Beer.
I thought that we would test it at our club party with regular beer drinkers who consider themselves to be a good judge of a pint. They were told that it was a bottled pilsner beer, but no more about it.

The verdict was extremely favourable, with the majority considering it to have an excellent flavour.

The testers didn't know it was a GF beer, so this is definitely not a second rate substitute. It is a good beer in its own right.

STOP PRESS



At the very last moment after 6 months (and three years of planning) our brewing partners who have been finding reasons for not signing their side of the contract have after providing many reasons, replied with the following:



‘(we) don't have capability for commercial production of Gluten Free Beer’



So there you have it! It will now not hit the shelves this summer and I'm gutted, but we are in discussions with other brewers and we will launch as soon as we can, I promise you. I'll update all those people who have signed up from our site. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it was 'out of our hands', that decision!

Cheers till next year (yes it almost that time)!

So far the "Against the Grain" beer is the only gluten-free beer I have found that actually tastes like a beer. I do hope and pray they will after this cautious and successful testing of the market, bring out more GF beers into general circulation.



All the rest so far have been revoltingly sickly sweet. Like drinking rendered down treacle with an alcohol content off the scale, and to thoroughly add insult to injury extortionately priced .

My partner blinked when she saw me tip a pint of one of them away, asking "who are you and what have you done with my boyfriend" sort of thing.

 Re UK Gluten Free Beer (Re - USA queries  Posted by matt clark
Hi to the people asking about GF beer in the USA.

I was recently there visiting friends and found 3 beers (fairly) available.



One was out of stock in the (independent) shop i was in, but there was a great one called "Redbridge" - it's brewed by Anheuser Busch. Pretty damn tasty. This one was also available in Price Chopper.

There was another which I can't remember the name, it was a black label with a gold bat-like shape on it. I didn't like it as much, so thats probably why I don't remember the name. Go for Redbridge!



I was impressed by the availability and PRICE ($7.99 for 6 bottles) in the states (this was NY, upstate). I recommend try all your local liqour stores, you might be surprised what you find if you've not looked before.



A selection of beer is also available in Risottoria (including big bottles of Greens), a pizza place on Bleecker Street in NYC - yes the pizzas are also gluten free and awesome, and they also have pie, brownies, cake and bread sticks. Go. Now. (they have a website, i think...)



Good luck.

Matt

You can buy it at many regular liqour stores in the US ask for Redbridge which is actually made by Budweiser and even if they do not carry it in stock they can often order it for you

Just in case any one is interested in having a bash at brewing their own beer, try this link, and search the recipe pages for gluten free at;



www.jimsbeerkit.co.uk



I've tried half a batch of the 'Four Star' and 'Red Diesel' which are both gluten free beer recipes, and have been impressed.



I've PM'd the person who has put together the recipes, and he's had many attempts to pull together these recipes (being a coeliac himself).



Latest attempt is a brew of stout so I'll find out what that's like in a few days/weeks, buts it's certainly been fermenting well.



Don't be put off by the list of ingredients (tea bags, chocolate essence, bovril !!), it works, and I'm hooked...



Also, in response to a quiry earlier in this post, you can buy GFA from hambletons direct. Last lot I purchased just before Xmas 08 was £1.60 a botle, although they were predicting a price rise. Wirth buying in bulk at this price if you like it (the new recipe is much nicer that the last one).



For info, the ale recipes work out at around £15.00 for 20 litres (so around 75p a pint

I have been drinking cider lately but it is no substitute for beer is it? Imagine my joy on tasting Hambletons GFL. I have never been a lager drinker and to describe this wonderful drink as lager does it a grave injustice. GFL reminds me of Deuchars IPA but it is slightly stronger. It is so tasty that I am sure that lager drinkers won't like it. Also, I have had the whole Greens range now and have been impressed but GFL has that real British hoppy quality. I can't wait to get my hands on a GFA next.



I bought mine from ASDA in Portsmouth.



Cheers
