I like to have a drink every now and then, and I usually reach for a beer. What are your favorite gluten free brews?

    I like hard ciders made from apple or pear. I was never a beer drinker anyway.

    Red Bridge is OK. Really I have beer so infrequently that any GF beer tastes ok to me

    New Planet Ale is pretty good, a little sweet though.

    My boyfriend drinks Red Bridge....we also just found Woodchuck's Hard Apple Cider Summer edition (Blueberry) that is delicious!

    I've been on a cider kick lately, but New Grist is good, as is Bard's Tale. I'd recommend both over Red Bridge.

    I like hard ciders, honey wines like Bnectar Zombie Killer, and Twseaonale (dogfish head) is the only GF beer I've tried so far. I liked it a lot, but I like sour fruity beers. I haven't tried any more normal beers yet. =)

    I wasn't a huge fan of beer in the first place (went GF before my 21st, so not much chance ;)) so I mostly stick to cider - they've gotten really common now, so not that much more expensive than a good craft beer. Woodchuck and Angry Orchard are particularly gr8 choices, stocked in any Walmart with a liquor license, and Original Sin and Fox Barrel are a++ too if you can find them.

    Red Bridge is oKAY, I suppose, but to me it's sort of like the GF version of PBR - only slightly better than p*ss, only to be drunk if you're too ironic or cynical or cheap to develop a taste for ciders. New Grist is better, but harder to find. estrella damm duara is the best, of course, but low ppm (they guarantee sub-6ppm, iirc) or not it is made from barley and I definitely wouldn't rec it if you're super-sensitive

    I like Red Bridge too. I don't drink it often though. I usually either drink vodka or ciders.

    That's kind of how I felt with Red Bridge. To me, it was, if I REALLY want a beer, it'll suffice, but not my first choice.

    Also, I just found some Fox Barrel over the weekend (at Jungle Jim's, I did a mix n match of 6 different ciders :), so I'm glad to hear it's good! :) I never knew Stella Artois had a cider, but it was good.

    I've never liked beer so I drink cider. The Angry Orchard Ginger is amazing. Woodchuck is good too. The Pumpkin flavor they have for fall is my favorite. I've not tried the blueberry yet but I'd like to.

    I'll be in Cincinnati next months so I'll check out the cider selection at Jungle Jim's. I love that place! :)

    Second Omission- the pale ale is the best GF I've had, in my opinion. And I've tried all the ones mentioned. Dogfish head makes an interesting one, if you like fruiter beers (I'm not a huge fan, but it was fun to try!)
