Guest guest Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 I found Redbridge in a small " health food " store in Anchor Bay, which is just north of Sea Ranch on Highway 1. As it's the only store in Anchor Bay, that's all the direction you need. I haven't tried the beer yet. H. -----Original Message----- From: desiree942@...

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 All of the gluten-free beers are alcohol-containing products. I don't know of any non-alcoholic varieties yet. Redbridge's ABV is 4.8%, and Bard's Tale ABV is 4.3%. Most beer is mad The malt extract is basically a sugary syrup. When yeast is added to any sugar substance - grape juice for wine, apple juice for hard cider, and malt extract for beer - the the sugars are eaten by the yeast and the by-product is alcohol. Normal beer contains gluten because it is made from barley malt extract. However, there are other gluten-free grains that make suitable malt extracts for the purposes of brewing. Extract from sorghum grain is quite popular, and some brewers add rice extract too. Hops is not withheld or removed from these brews. Hops is used mainly just for flavoring and it also acts as a natural preservative. All beers contain some form of hops, including Bard's Tale and Redbridge. However, the flavor of hops in the Redbridge is much more pronounced than in the Bard's Tale. -- Joe http://sanbeiji.com/ " After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Wine is fine! (thank goodness!) depends on what you like...my favorites are pinot noir (red) and chardonnay (white). Toasted Head, Meridian, Kendall are all good wines for 10-15 dollars. Good pinots are a bit pricier but worth it... I like Testarossa (Los Gatos winery), Chalone, and anything from Russian River valley. Cheers!

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Thank you for your very informative, clear reply. I drank a bottle of Redbridge tonight. It's been at least three years since I've had beer, so my taste memory may be off. I was very much a beer snob back in the day. The pre-CD day. I live in a part of the country where many artisan beers are made. I used to be able to go into small breweries and sample the current production. Redbridge struck me as being a very good beer with real substance. I wish Anheuser-Busch would bring out varsoriants of Redbridge, but I'm happy to have anything at all. In Italy, I tried to get their GF beer, but I was too busy drinking excellent wine. My reaction to the sorghum-based beer is a little colored by vivid childhood memories of watching sorghum cane being ground into sap. A tethered mule circled a big iron? vat, grinding down the cane. Nearby, in another vat, sap cooked down to syrup. Big, iridescent flies were everywhere, but no one seemed concerned by that. The smell was -- strange. " Cane sorghum " syrup was a staple in most households in that time and place. Still, I love Redbridge. I think no mules were harmed in the bottling of this beer.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Heh -great story about the sorghum. I also was a big microbrew enthusiast before my diagnosis, and would literally base my travel around brewpub touring. I kept a log. I even had my own homebrew pale ale recipe that I'd always do over the new year break. I'm hoping to recreate that tradition next year as my favorite brew supply shop (morebeer.com in Concord) has started stocking sorghum extract! -- Joe http://sanbeiji.com/ " Things should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Almost all wines are GF, but on very rare occasions some wines are stored in casks that formerly contained a gluten product, or they literally used wheat flour to line the barrels. I'm pretty confident about California wines - I stick to buying locally and have never had a problem. It was an entirely acceptable consolation to switch from being a beer snob to a wine snob after my diagnosis. ;-) I have heard that some wine coolers use barley malt, so double-check on those. -- Joe http://sanbeiji.com/ " It is simplicity that is difficult to make.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Amazing about the use of wheat flour and casks. I can't imagine a reputable vineyard doing that, but one never knows. At one time, some low-end Italian wine distributors were found to be diluting red wine with anything handy, including beef blood. Do you know anything more specific about which kinds of wineries might be non-GF? Wine coolers -- yeah, they're not wine, anyway. They just use wine as an ingredient. They're not serious.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 I only heard this in a conversation with another celiac, and she mentioned something about being careful of European wine and vinegar. Sorry - I have nothing definitive, so I could be wrong about the wheat flour lining stuff. I just did a scan on Google and no good matches came up there.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I read on another list that some wineries “seal” the barrels with a wheat paste. Some use wax, some use really good new barrels. I have no clue which is which. Or how to find out, but if a wine causes me pain, I think I’ll jus stay away from that winery.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 Either egg whites or gelatin are used in the fining process. After the mad cow disease scare there was discussion by the European wine industry about using wheat gluten as a substitute. I have no idea whether any of the producers did end up making this switch. I believe most continue to use egg whites however I'm wondering if that will go the way of gelatin once the bird flu becomes more prevalent...
