Redbridge in Publix

I was just diagnosed after 12 years of anemia and I feel great. Happy to see Publix carries Redbridge...all in all its not bad. Does the Ale House carry any GF beers?

Bard's Tale

I've tried two gluten free beers so far, Bard's Tale and Redbridge, both of which we reviewed at thebrewclub.com Personally, I think they are both decent beers in their own right, but the Bard's Tale is much better overall.

GF Beer

I live in Florida and about the only GF beer around in Redbridge. At first it wasn't my favorite but I have grown to love it and it is easy to find which is a huge plus.

Redbridge

I used to drink Amstel Light before my diagnosis. I now drink Redbridge and feel that they taste pretty similar. Redbridge is an amber brew with a nice smooth taste and unlike Wheat/Barley beers, Sorghum doesn't leave that funky aftertaste. Its delish!

favorite beer

I prefer Red Bridge by Anheuser Busch..it tastes good ..of course more expensive than non gluten free beer..but then again everything gluten free is more expensive than the non gluten free counter part..it would be nice to see some restaurants carry gluten free beer...

New GF Beer

I just read about a new GF beer in Easy Eats called St. Peter's Sorghum Beer. It is a light English ale with a pilsner-style finish and a citrus aroma. It is available through EuroBrew (www.eurobrews.com), a specialty importer of beer based in Boston.

Great and gf beer

1. Bard's Tale 2. Sapporo 3. Strongbow. I used to drink beer before I knew I had celiac so I was determined to find good gf beers. I love Bard's Tale, most beer-like. Red Bridge is OK if you're not a huge beer fan. I'm trying all I can get my hands on. Strongbow is a cider beer but has a beer-like finish. Woodchuck, woodpecker, newton's folly, moosehead are good.

Green's Discovery Amber Ale

I used to prefer the darker beers. I've sampled a few of the gluten-free beers and my favorite so far is Green's Discovery amber ale, which I can buy in Whole Foods.

GF Beer

Before I went gluten free, I never really drank beer becuase it made me feel really sick... so beer is one of the things I don't really miss! I do however like Woodchuck Cider... comes in a 6-pack like beer, and is a great beverage for a hot summer afternoon. It is also a good alternative to a glass of wine. Just had to share! =) Be Free!

La messagere

Qc brewed beer. They have a pale ale and a red one. The red is my fav. Even my beer snob husband said it was ok!

gluten free beer

I have been GF since '04 and really missed beer on hot sunny days after doing yard work. I tried the Redbridge from Budweiser last summer, it didn't live up to my memories of the Canadian beers I grew up with, but it was nice to have the option to find that out and I could get it right up the street.
