Well you're too young to drink, so you wouldn't know anything about this. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBUT its also important to look at cocktail MIXES. I've found gluten in margarita mix and in bloody mary mix. So sad... but you can easily make you're own!
I definitely would not have known that..haha but that's good to note and I can add that to this guide if it would help people. Thanks for letting me know!
ReplyDeleteI have heard that when making some wines, the barrels are sealed with a paste that can contain gluten. Know anything about that?
ReplyDeleteThis is true, however, the resultingnwine will have levels of gluten much lower than the threshold for any gluten free product.
DeleteYep! I actually wrote an article on it which should help! http://glutenaway.blogspot.com/2013/06/gluten-and-cross-contamination-in-wine.html
ReplyDeleteTaylor, what about Bailey's Irish Creme?? Do you know?
ReplyDeleteYou can add Woodchuck Hard Cider and Angry Orchard Hard Cider to the Gluten Free Beer List! Angry Orchard is my favorite :)
ReplyDeleteThank you mom!
ReplyDeleteThere is a company called Omission that makes 3 varieties of gluten free beer, and it's actually made from real beer and tastes like real beer! They brew it, then remove the gluten. I was very leery at first, but I have never had the slightest bit of a bad reaction.
ReplyDeleteTo my best knowledge, Bailey's Irish Creme has gluten. It is made from whiskey, which contains gluten. I have had reactions from Baileys.
ReplyDeleteI switched to Amarula cream, which tastes even sweeter than Baileys (not a good thing for me), but contains no gluten.
Baileys contains whiskey. It did an act on me. Not recommended.
DeleteJust discovered Dogfish Head Tweason'ale last weekend. It's a fruity gluten free beer. It was much easier to drink than cider which is too sweet for me but still had a great taste!
ReplyDeletewhat about rootbeer schnapps?
ReplyDeleteSailor Jerry's Rum????
ReplyDeleteDefinitely need to add Tito's Vodka...100% corn based, distilled 6 times so its smooth and made in Texas!
ReplyDeleteTitos is amazing, does anyone know about Belvidere Vodka??
ReplyDeleteScotch is NOT gluten free. Coming from a scotch lover, I can tell you it is made from malted barley. It is full of gluten, to my sorrow.
ReplyDeleteIt's distilled, so the gluten doesn't make it to the end product. I've been drinking plenty of scotch without issue.
Delete"Vodka" made from anything but potatoes is not vodka.
ReplyDeleteI was just diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Not only was it a shock, but it has me running in circles. I am almost 67 years old, and hate to think I have to start cooking meals for one or two again. Hats off to you Taylor. This is the best comprehensive website I have found. Great job, young man!! Maggie
ReplyDeleteTito's graciously also has a GF note on its labeling.
ReplyDeleteI contacted the Bailey's Irish Creme folks and they said there is no gluten!!!
ReplyDeleteBe careful of the flavored vodkas. The caramel one have gluten in them. I make my own flavors now!
ReplyDeleteBe careful of omission beer or any other gluten removed product. Omission beer makes me sick. I noticed that they have since lost their gluten free status. Another one is Mongozo, it too is gluten removed and make me sick.
ReplyDeleteEveryone check out glutendude's website...and alcohol list!!!
