What is college without a good beer enjoyed with friends?!

If you don't want to feel left out when spending time with your friends on the weekends, try some of these yummy gluten free beers!

First, to clear things up- gluten free beer is made from sorghum, rice, millet and/or buckwheat (compared to regular beer which is made from barley).

A few of my favorite GF beers include:

  • Redbridge- similar to Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch)
  • New Grist Beer
  • New Planet
  • Green's GF Beer- similar taste to a craft beer (Belgian Brewer)

Cider beer is also a great alternative for drinking gluten free.  Cider is made from fermented apple juice and comes in dry and sweet varieties.

Some great cider beers include:

  • Woodchuck Hard Cider
  • Magner's Irish Cider
  • Michalob ULTRA Light Cider
  • Crispin Cider
Surprisingly I have come across some of these beers or ciders at different bars and restaurants.  Just make sure you ask the waitress or bartender what GF beers and/or cider beers are available.  Hopefully once you start looking you will find some too!
