Gluten Free Beers

While at work yesterday, a customer asked me for gluten free beer.  I realized I couldn't name a single one.  I had left them out of my listings since I normally don't drink beer.  So after some research I have come up with a list and some small reviews on each one.  There are only 3 on this list currently that I would recommend as far as 'true' beer flavorings go.  If you have any others you'd like to pass along, feel free to add them to your post and I will add them to  the list!


A quick note on gluten free vs. gluten-reduced: Beers labeled “gluten-free” must not contain wheat,
barley or rye; hybrids of those grains; or any ingredients derived from them. Beers with lower gluten
levels that may still contain traces of wheat, barley or rye are labeled “gluten reduced,” or “crafted to remove gluten.”

Redbridge:  It’s produced by Anheuser-Busch and is a sorghum-based lager.RedBridge is also in the
process of partnering with The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness to help spread the word about Celiac disease and gluten intolerance.

Bard's :  Bard’s is brewed with a 100 percent malted gluten-free sorghum. Bard’s American lager is
made with sorghum, yeast, hops, and water. The company is very conscious about its brewing methods and makes sure the beer contains no wheat, barley, rye, or oats and is naturally gluten-free.

Greens:  Green’s produces nine different  gluten-free beers that range from golden ale to IPA to amber. They are currently being brewed by the best of Belgian craft brewers and have the European
accreditation of being gluten-free. Green’s Endeavour is quite popular in the gluten-free community for its double dark beer.
