Sorghum Beers for the Wheat Allergic
Just because you have wheat allergies, it doesn't mean that you can't drink beer. Although beer is traditionally made from wheat, Anheuser-Busch Cos. on Wednesday introduced Redbridge, a brew made from sorghum. According to the manufacturers, this sorghum beer is an excellent alternative for those with wheat or gluten sensitivities as sorghum is gluten-free.

Redbridge is sold at restaurants and stores carrying organic products. I suppose the demand is not yet enough to sell them at more mainstream outlets, but at least it's a start.

If not Redbridge, there are three other gluten-free beers available on a local level:
  • U.S. Lakefront Brewery of Milwaukee: b>New Grist out of sorghum and rice.

  • Ramapo Valley Brewing of Hillburn, N.Y.:Passover Honey Beer made from hops, honey and molasses.

  • Bard's Tale Beer Co. in Kansas City makes Dragon's Gold.


Cheers!
