Commerical Gluten Free Beer
The most common Gluten Free (GF) beers available domestically are extract-based using Sorghum. I've included a picture of some of the bottles.
The plan as discussed at the March meeting is to develop a new style for the BJCP Style Guidelines. However, first I would like to characterize some of the commerically available brands with the help of the club members. I will be posting progress on this blog under the topic "Gluten Free Beer".
As an example a new category could be:
XX. Gluten Free Beer.
XXa. American Sorghum Ale GF.
Commerical examples:
AB Redbridge, Bards, New Grist
XXb. Belgium Sorghum GF.
Commerical examples:
Greens
XXc. Light Ale GF.
Commerical examples:
La Messagier
During one of our meetings I will also give a presentation on ingredients that are acceptable for Gluten Free beer. Hopefully I can also set up a tasting.
Please feel free to comment.

hi harold -
have you considered using gluten-free base-grains other than sorghum?
these will make for some interesting brews!
