During the Holiday Season, it’s great to relax with friends and family and enjoy a nice cold beer. Hard or Dry Ciders are another great GF option I discovered recently. I actually like to mix beer and cider together about half and half, it kills the bitterness and/or strong taste of most GF beer, giving it a nice sweet malty flavor. New Brunswick has a few GF products, but don’t forget we have neighboring provinces and states that offer plenty more options.
I’ve tried most of the beers and ciders listed below. 😉 I’m not going to post reviews but if you have any questions please post them in the comments.

For the brave at heart, the following beers do contain small amounts of gluten as they are brewed with barley. I did try Omission and it does taste pretty good, I didn’t get a reaction but I only had one. I do have the Estrella Damm Daura at home as well, but I haven’t had the heart to try it yet. Is it worth it for a beer?
*Omission – Made with Barley – LESS THAN 10 PPM OF GLUTEN
*Estrella Damm Daura – Made with Barley – LESS THAN 3 PPM OF GLUTEN
