My husband is a true beer lover, not the kind that likes to have a cold one or two every night, but someone who actually enjoys savoring the taste and aroma of a well crafted brew. Personally, I would much rather consume those calories in a decadent crème brûlée, but to each their own.
His world nearly fell apart with the realization that beer was no longer an option once he began his gluten free diet. And I am not exaggerating! Somewhere in our basement still lives his rating system from the original and specialty beers he has tried over the years at the Montreal Summer Beer Festival.
I have tried to appease him, by picking up La Messagère Gluten Free Buckwheat beer, the only gluten free bottled beer available here in the province of Quebec. But it wasn't the same. He would always complain that although it allowed him to partake with his buddies in a cold one during football games and poker nights, it just didn't do beer justice.
Well, lo and behold, I was totally shocked the last time I went grocery shopping and there gleaming on the shelf was their new GF version "Rousse" or "Red Ale". I snatched one of the three 6-packs and hurried home to show him my new score. I was a little afraid it would be yet another disappointment, as so many of you can understand following this diet. But he loved it. The taste is a little sweeter, but much smoother, it was a real hit in our house.
So I just wanted to pass this little tidbit of information along to you. This beer is available all across Canada and by visiting their website, http://www.lesbieresnouvellefrance.com/home; it will locate all the stores selling their products in your area.
Cheers :)
