Now I normally wouldn’t be particularly interested in a beer festival. Though I have written about gluten free beers several times in the past, I don’t actually drink the stuff.
But this caught my eye today, on Google News:
Apparently there is a Great British Beer Festival going on at the moment, in London (and they timed the Olympics to clash with it?). Not just British beer, but beers from all over the world, with over 750 different brews, including some gluten free beers. I was delighted to note this comment in the press release:
The Bar Unusu-ale hosted organic beers and pints suitable for vegetarians and people with coeliac disease, including brews like Spectrum’s Old Stoatwobbler and Comrade Bill Bartram’s Egalitarian anti-Imperialistic Soviet Stout.
I love the names, don’t you? Old Stoatwobbler … I wonder if that one was gluten free?

I’ve written a book summarising what we’ve learnt over 20 years of dealing with the gluten free diet, and it might be just what you’re looking for. It packs the lessons we’ve learned into what I hope is a helpful and straightforward guidebook. It’s available on Amazon, as a paperback or for your Kindle… |
Browsing your site i was interested to read about the gluten free beer, i would be interested in finding where to buy real ale which is organic and gluten free as we have a real ale bar here in the lake district which has beer from around the country as well as local and would be very interested.
Hi Gill
This is a really tricky one. Real ale that is gluten free and organic seems to be really difficult to find.
You could try Hambleton Ales or Against the Grain (available here) or Nature’s Maid. If you have any luck finding some, please do let us know!
