Gluten-Free Beer Goes Mainstream

Anheuser-Busch recently introduced the gluten-free beer, Redbridge. 

Anheuser-Busch said it worked closely with the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness in developing Redbridge. Celiac disease is a disorder that can cause damage to the intestines when anything is consumed containing gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and oats.

It's nice to see such a major player take notice of this market. Perhaps others will be hot on their heels.

At least three smaller brewers make gluten-free beer in the U.S. Lakefront Brewery Inc. of Milwaukee, Wis., makes New Grist out of sorghum and rice. Ramapo Valley Brewing in Hillburn, N.Y., makes Passover Honey Beer by adding hops to honey and molasses. Bard’s Tale Beer Co. in Kansas City makes Dragon’s Gold. (MSNBC. Anheuser -Busch now offering sorghum beer.)

I had no idea there was gluten free beer. At the specific chiropractic center we help people with all sorts of conditions, one of which is celiac. We try to educate our patients all the time...great blog. I will send them this way for some great weblog reading.
