Gluten-Free Beers That Actually Taste Good
Many people are concerned that taking gluten out of the diet will forever crimp their social style. I’m here to tell you there ARE gluten-free beers that actually taste good.
Here are a couple of gluten-free beer suggestions that won’t harm your digestion.
Dogfish Tweason’s Ale
Brewed in Milton, DE, sorghum based
Characteristics: Sweet -> Fruit -> Sour -> Crisp
A sweet and tart beer, sweetened with strawberries, buckwheat and honey. It’s not quite what you’d expect, but it’s good and it’s totally gluten-free. It’s available at lots of restaurants around Denver as well as some of the larger liquor stores in town. Try Bonnie Brae Liquors, Argonaut Liquors, Colorado Liquor Mart and more. You can check them out here www.dogfish.com.
REVIEW: Upon first introduction, the beautiful reddish amber hue united with the crisp, slightly sweet honeyed aroma, becoming quite the intriguing pair. The initial taste is a sweet seduction of fruity strawberry that quickly transforms into a tart sour body. It’s cider-like, but with the body of a beer. The sorghum in masked excellently with the strawberry and buckwheat honey. I’m not a fan of fruity beers, but Dogfish Head did a stellar job combining all these flavors into one fluidly refreshing experience.
New Planet Brewery
Brewed in Boulder, CO
Completely gluten-free beers include: Pale Ale, Blonde Ale, Raspberry Ale using
A sorghum (ancient grain, gluten-free) and brown rice, among other ingredients.
Description: The Pale Ale—Reminiscent of a classic American Pale Ale, offering a bold hop character and rich caramel and grapefruit notes, with a clean yet distinctly hoppy finish.
Blonde Ale—Light and refreshing, our Blonde Ale offers bright notes of honey and a subtle floral aroma with a crisp, clean finish.
Raspberry Ale—This delightfully drinkable and offers a crisp, yet complex, balance of subtle fruit flavor and aroma with a zesty, citrusy finish. Brewed with natural raspberry puree and orange peel.
I personally like the raspberry ale. It is nice and crisp but adequately complex. I should tell you I’m actually NOT a beer aficionado, but just a girl that likes to know my gluten-free party drink options.
And then there is always Corona, which is not designated a gluten free beer in this country, but actually is considered gluten-free.
So, if you are celiac or gluten-intolerant, enjoy happy hour with confidence order a gluten-free beer. Your digestion will thank you.
