Gluten-free beer that tastes good?

Don’t eat gluten? Then you probably don’t drink it either, which puts beer mostly off limits.

 The good news is, more and more gluten-free beers are appearing on the market. Any decent beer aisle will have at least one and possibly a half dozen. Brands like Lakefront Brewery, Green’s and even Anheuser-Busch offer naturally gluten-free beers.

These beers are generally made with rice, buckwheat, millet and sorghum, and for those with celiac disease or who simply want to avoid gluten, these are the only beers that matter.

Trouble is, they aren’t supposed to be very good. Barley and wheat, the two grains on which the beer industry most heavily relies, don’t just add gluten to a beer. They also add lots of sweet, full flavor -part of what makes beer taste so good. Beers made with gluten-free grains are often said to be thinner and lacking in body. (I couldn’t tell you. I don’t know that I’ve had one.)

However, Brendan Moylan tells me he recently tasted some gluten-free beers - an IPA and a pilsner -that taste great, just like normal beer. That’s because they basically are normal beers. The brewery that made them (Moylan couldn’t remember the brewery’s name but says they’re in San Francisco) added a natural compound that breaks down gluten in fermented beer. The enzyme eliminates nearly, though not quite all, the gluten in a beer, making it more or less acceptable for the gluten-free crowd.

Moylan was so impressed that he did the same thing himself, at Moylan’s Brewing Co. in Novato. His brewers added a dash of Brewer’s Clarex, the product name for the gluten-pulling enzyme, to a batch of Moylan’s golden ale during cold storage.

“It came out really well,” says owner Brendan Moylan. “It tastes like a real beer.”

The enzyme that does this trick is made by a species of mold called Aspergillus niger, which food technicians cultivate in order to isolate the gluten-pulling component. The enzyme reduces a beer’s gluten content to less than 20 parts per million of gluten. This is enough to meet the general international definition of “gluten-free.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, though, only allows beers treated with this enzyme to be called “gluten-reduced,” not “gluten-free” — which seems fair enough. Stone Brewing Co. and a brand called Omission have made gluten-reduced beers using this technique.

Even though gluten-free beers made with gluten-free grains haven’t been highly rated in general, some brewers would rather make a gluten-free beer the real way than cheat by adding the enzyme.

PITTSBURGH IS GETTING A MUSEUM SOLELY DEDICATED TO BEER

A group of local beer enthusiasts is hoping to bring Pittsburgh Brew, a museum solely dedicated to, yes, beer. Want to help fulfill the laudable goal of a destination dedicated to helping people "understand all aspects of what it means to be human -- our sociology, our anthropology, our history, our economics, our politics"? Luckily, you can: the team launches its Indiegogo campaign on October 19th.

 Brew's official location will be decided once the fundraising campaign ends, though the stated goal is to build the 50,000sqft space within two miles of Downtown Pittsburgh, an area that already holds the Andy Warhol Museum, the Carnegie Science Center, and John Heinz Regional Historical Center.

Possible exhibits include everything from "Baseball, America’s Pastime and Beer" to the much more vague and tantalizing "Beer Heroes and Villains." Additionally, in a stroke of genius, these folks decided to include… get ready… a 300-seat gastropub somewhere on the museum’s grounds.

In other words, there’ll be a place to “sample the merchandise” amongst a (more or less) official beer hall of fame and a Brewers Wall, where every brewery currently in operation will be featured. A tall order in the boom or bust world of brewing, but we salute the effort.

And yes, grandma, it will also have a gift shop.

If you want to start celebrating Pittsburgh's greatest new museum in person and can't wait until the expected 2018 opening, the fundraising campaign's launch party will be on the 19th at James Street Gastropub.

North Korean Beer Brands Hit Chinese Stores

Few North Korean beer brands, that were rarely available in retail outlets in China have been spotted off late. These brands are now up for sale in grocery stores located in the border city. So far distribution and marketing of Korean beer was limited in China. North Korea was China’s largest trading partner. However, these beers are made available in the stores that sell only Korean and different foreign items and ones in the locations witnessing high Korean communities. In a recent incident few grocery stores were seen selling “Taedonggang” beer. But they are available in small quantity and that’s why many are not aware about it.

Indians Welcome Premium Foreign Labels

Of late, beer industry in India is busy welcoming the entry of several foreign labels. This is expected to offer potential consumers a wide range of choices to select from instead of depending of home brands. Among the international labels that have invaded the Indian market is beer giant from Spain “Mahou San Miguel's”, whose entry in the country was highly anticipated.
