Default Gluten free beer -- urgent help needed

So I am fybromyalgic. I am an O- blood type and have been told by my health professionals that beer (normal beer) is out.

I LOVE my beer. All Beer. I drink all of it ....except for the skunk pi$# they sell at some places.

Does anyone frequent any establishments in the city which sell any gluten free beer. Help a brother in need out would ya!?

I have to do this switch as my condition deals with the most severe types of rhuematism and chronic fatigue you can get. Beer is something I can enjoy at the end of the day as I am in my 40's and do allot of intense physical work.

I don't drink beer but I remember someone I know having the same problem. I remember him saying it was very hard to find, I recall him saying he could only find 2 in Canada.

edit: this was the beer he found http://www.lesbieresnouvellefrance.com/home don't know if it is available in Alberta or if there are others.

Best of luck!

My dad is a celiac, and he has tried gluten free beer...be warned, it's not very good, and it's expensive.

I bet your best bet would be to make trips to the US of A for more selection...or just go to hard drugs

There was a thread about guten free stuff from last month, there may be a few hints in there.

There is one post talking about beer, and I saw that beer in the Co-op Liquor Store before Christmas.

Many people I know are Celiac. The most popular seems to be "Le Messagere", the one linked to above.
Ive tried a few times, taste is pretty similarto wheat beers, but is more like a really blond lager.

You'll be able to find this stuff in almost any liquor store chain in alberta. It is quite common at Sobeys, Coop etc.

Pricey but most of the non gluten people I've served drink it.

I found Le Messagere more like a cider than a light lager, at least in mouth-feel. It's okay tasting if that's your only choice.

Just thought I'd have some fun. I just loved how you ended that sentence, "be warned, it's not very good and its expensive."

That could be its own thread: Start this sentence.
