However, I have found out that Heineken is safe for me because it has less gluten in it than the gluten-free communion wafers do -- below US FDA tolerances -- and even though I react quickly and strongly to even the small amounts of gluten in "no gluten ingredients" food that isn't fixed in a controlled gluten-free environment, Heineken doesn't make me sick. Heineken's response to the question is the typically dodgy legalese: http://www.heinekeninternational.com/FAQ_Question16.aspx So yea try at your own risk I guess, but if you don't get sick from eating GF communion wafers that are sanctioned for Eucharist, then this would likely be a good experience for ya.

I have difficulty finding Bards that is even remotely fresh. At a "Mom and Pop Beer Warehouse" the staff was ecstatic because they were able to locate a case of Bards with a January, 2010 stamp. Unfortunately, it was July, 2010 when they made their discovery. I did buy the case anyway, because it was my husband's birthday. His only comment was, "this is really hoppy." I didn't tell him it was six months old. My husband drinks beer only occasionaly (we still have 3/4 of the aforementioned case in our garage). The ideal situation for us would be to be able to buy Bards in six packs. The problem is that I can not locate a retailer that sells gluten free beer this way. In fact, stores, and some beverage distributors, don't know what a gluten free beer is. If I had a nickel for every time that a clerk has said to me, "all beers are made with wheat," I'd be a rich lady. I would welcome your comments.

I do work in Pittsburgh though, so I will call around and see if any of the distributors there carry any of those GF Beers. My son bought my husband a homebrewing kit, so I told hubby that he had to try his hand at some GF beer. I'll let you know how it turns out. ;) Mary Stefan,

I like Green's also, but it is difficult to find and pretty pricey at nearly $6/pint. I tried a St. Peter's last weekend and it was decent, but way too strong of a citrus finish. Hambleton Ale is the only other GF beer commercially available in my area and I have yet to try it. I started homebrewing GF beer and it is the way to go. I can make two cases for less than the price of a case of Redbridge and I think it tastes far better. Glad you are able to drink beer again! New Grist is an excellent GF beer as well.

That's just not kool. Bard's taste better and a six pack will give me a decent buzz. Yea…RedBridge doesn’t taste bad, but I can kill a six pack and
