An all-sorghum beer. New Grist, a beer for Celiacs brewed from sorghum and gluten-free yeast grown on molasses. New Grist is the first official gluten free beer in the U.S., although it cannot technically be called gluten-free until established governmental guidelines are determined for all products claiming gluten-free status. In the interim, this Celiac-safe beer can be called barley-free, and is a welcome product to those who need to live on restricted diets due to intolerance to gluten, a protein found in common brewing grains such as barley, wheat, rye, oats, spelt, kamut and triticale.
