A Very Different Gluten-Free Beer

Most beers these days are light in colour, but this Dark G-Free from St. Peter’s Brewery in Suffolk is very much like an old-fashioned brown ale.

It was rather nice and very different to all other gluten-free beers I’ve tasted.

Until further notice, I shall make sure, I’ve always got a few of these in my cupboard.

I bought mine from Beers of Europe.

    • I think it’s just a matter of taste, but as a man, who’s lived much of his life in Suffolk and grew up drinking Adnams, I find St. Peter’s good. Their London pub is also just around the corner from a Waitrose I sometimes use.

      The chief brewer from Adnams once told me,me that he believed some real ales are much lower in gluten than people think they are. I’m not a lover of Crop Circle, but that had been brewed for years before they found it was gluten-free. So perhaps the brewer was right and we might be seeing some real ales are actually gluten-free.

      Bear in mind, that although I’m coeliac, I’m not that sensitive and I was able to drink the old, long-gone bottled Guinness from Park Royal without any ill effects. Incidentally, I must be one of the few serious beer drinkers, who’s never drunk more than a pint or so of lager. That was enough!
