Commerical Gluten Free Beers

The most common Gluten Free (GF) beers available domestically are extract-based using Sorghum. I've included a picture of them.

The plan is to develop a new style for the BJCP Style Guidelines. However, first I would like to characterize the beers with help from the BFD club members. I will be posting progress on this blog and hopefully others will comment as we proceed.

As an example one approach would be a new category as follows:

XX. Gluten Free Beer.
XXa. American Sorghum Ale.
Commerical Examples:
AB Redbridge, Bards, New Grist

XXb. Belgium Sorghum.
Commerical Examples:
Green's

During one of our meetings I will also give a presentation on ingredients that are common to Gluten Free beer. Hopefully I can also set up a tasting.

Please fill free to comment.
