[Deltaboy]

I got a gulten allegry and need a Gluten Free Beer. What are some good ones that would taste like say Miller Genuine Draft.

Can't speak from experience, but Green's makes some stuff that people don't seem to hate...

My brother and my mother have gluten allergy.
And as far as I Know. These twree are gluten free:




(I also thought Amstel Beer was free for gluten as well, but a google search implied that it wasn't)

Good luck!

There's a few brewmakers here(in Canada) that have a gluten free beer. The best that I've tasted so far (so the beer doesn't taste like water) is made by Glutenberg (http://brasseurssansgluten.com/home)

Unfortunately, I don't think it's available around you. Second point is that I doubt that you would find something similar to Miller. I tasted over 350 beers(With and without gluten, probably around 20 without gluten as SWMBO is also having the gluten intolerance...) that I've taken notes on and they often are quite unique in way. Sure, you get similar tastes but when it comes to something like Miller, well, that one is almost like fizzy water (no offense intended to anyone who likes Miller).

Have you checked Central Market on Hulen? Go there and ask one of the girls that walk around that area. I know I've seen at least two gluten free beers that looked interesting.

The only gluten free beer I've had is New Grist from Lakefront Brewery. It wasn't awful, but I wouldn't buy it again. That being said, it doesn't taste all that dissimilar from your standard macro beers so I'd recommend that.

I think Dogfish Head just came out with one that is supposed to be good but if you want something similar to MGD I can almost assure you you don't want this.

CM is a good place to try. I live about a 30 second drive from there. Also, try Goody Goody on Hulen or Camp Bowie. They have a decent selection, often for cheaper.

I'm in the same boat. Celiac, with several allergies, but gluten is the worse.

Green's is good, but Bards is also very good. I've not tried the Dogfish, having trouble finding it. Redbridge by Bud, but wait you said good...

I like Bard's Tale and Greens the best of those I've tried.

Here's a listing from Living Without Magazine.

My wife has celiac, so we've tried several. This is the closest to a "regular beer" we have found:

It is from Spain, but we've found it in the states...



Also - I believe the post above that implies Corona is gluten free is incorrect.

 

[Techichi]

Yeah, Corona is brewed with Barley. Not gluten free.

 

[Deltaboy]

Well that is OK Techichi mine allergy is Wheat Gluten.

My wife gave up beer and moved to pear cider. I find the gluten free beers to taste a bit like ciders (sweeter than a regular beer). I don't think that barley is a viable option. It has the same gluten protein as wheat-it'll have the same effect.

 

[Deltaboy]

Thanks I will look into Ciders then.

You could brew your own with sorghum
