Gluten Free Beer Review #1 Redbridge

So recently, and begrudgingly, I've given in to the very probable conclusion that I am indeed gluten intolerant. This sucks. Everything is fucking made of gluten. I can't have a god forsaken cracker without being bloated like John Goodman back in the "Roseanne" days. Even though John Goodman looks fantastic nowadays, I used to feel like shit whenever I ate a piece of bread, or drank 18 beers.



                                                           John Goodman looks sexy.

Anyway, living gluten free takes some serious dedication. I can't eat Cheerios, but fuck those, I have always loved Fruity Pebbles, which are gluten free because they are made of rice. I love Fruity Pebbles. My name is Derek and I'm here to say, I love Fruity Pebbles in a major way.


                                     
                                  Here's a picture of me at my grandma's funeral. Family Size.


So there's gluten free beer. Fuck yeah. I love beer. This means I can still hoist major brew without getting gluten sick. Sign me the fuck up! One beer that is gluten free is Redbridge, which is made by Anheuser-Busch. I had to Google how to spell that.
                     
                                            "Drink me. I'm made of mystery components."

This is a middle-of-the-road beer for sure, with kind of a weird taste. I wasn't familiar with sorghum, but once upon a time I played a game called Sim Farm from Maxis Software and I grew a shit ton of sorghum until a tornado came and killed everything. Sad times. But yeah it's a beer made from sorghum and it kind of tastes like regular Budweiser, or "Bud Fats". Hell yes. It's refreshing and has a low bloat factor.


                                                                    "Me love gluten!"

So this beer is more expensive than regular beer, but fuck it, you can be gluten intolerant, or celiac, and still drink beer and that's what matters. Gluten is seemingly in everything, and it's basically a bonding agent that, while it is organic in nature, is not entirely digestible by a good portion of the population. Word up.

 As a bonus, even if you aren't celiac or gluten intolerant, you can chug a bunch of this beer, get drunk, and not be bloated. Nice. Ladies don't dig the bloat.
