Beer

Any gluten free or coeliac friendly draught beer recommendations?

Ideally if they are more mainstream/available the better.
There are apparently some lagers that are considered gluten free or with reduced gluten if below 20ppm, so please include anything like that as well.

You'll get Jubel in most supermarkets and if you're lucky, on draft too. That's really nice.

I'm struggling with draught beers. There are plenty of breweries producing canned or bottled gluten free or reduced gluten beers.

Thanks. I can see/get bottles and cans but was hoping for a miracle draught I hadn’t found. Even happy to compromise on it being a lager etc to at least have that pint in the pub feel.
Ludlow do a gluten free bitter and I’ve seen it on draught once but barmaid said no one drunk it and it tasted as though it was the first through the pipes!

Castle Rock Session IPA is gluten free.

Most of the pubs around here tend to have a GF cask option on as well these days, they do exist in good numbers, so hopefully you track some down locally!

My other half got me a ‘perfect draft’ machine for my birthday this past week. It came with a keg of proper job. The app has a Paddy’s day promotion on it at the moment, so I had two kegs arrive today - Camden Eazy (5% hazy ipa) and Ninkasi French IPA (5.4%).

I wouldn’t have bought one myself, but as a present, it’s great. Ice cold draft pints of beer at home… what could go wrong!

Apart from the beers you're dispensing? Absolutely nothing . Nice touch, enjoy.

Think you’ve had the Ninkasi before haven’t you? Not sure you enjoyed it…

I have, and it wasn't brilliant.

Yeah, thought I recalled seeing that!

They’ve got Northern Monk Faith, Jaipur, some Vocation stuff, some Tiny Rebel on the app - it’s just none of that was on the promo, so I’ll work my way through them eventually.

 

[leedswolf]

Faith is a good shout, as is Jaipur. Vocation will depend on what's on offer. TR can get in the sea (with a couple of exceptions).

If anyone's off to Edinburgh...

Mentioned previously on here that Joules purchased the Stag pub next door to the Red Lion here in MD.
They have completed the building work and have now closed the Red Lion to refurb and upgrade over the Summer.

The Stag at the Brewery officially opened this weekend. Will be the pub until the Red Lion reopens and then it will become their venue for hosting parties etc. 3 or 4 areas will be free to hire as well.
They have done a fantastic job and a shame it won't be used as it is now once the Lion is sorted.
Brand new building but typical Joules look and feel.
If you find yourself up this way I would recommend a visit.
