Hello list serv friends,

One of our family friends is an Anheuser-Busch exec and sent the following:

Hi Myrtice!
 
Yes it is true.  Budweiser is definitely NOT "gluten free"...  it is brewed with
barley malt & rice.  However, we are about to release a "gluten-free" beer
called Redbridge next week.  We will not be advertising it as "gluten-free",
because our legal folks tell us that there is no FDA approved definition of
"gluten-free" and there is not an official FDA approved test for "gluten-free". 
 
Redbridge is a beer brewed with sorghum, thus there is no wheat or barley used
in the brewing process and there are NO traces of gluten.  I have attached a
sell-sheet with some additional information.  Please feel free to share this, it
is public knowledge...  we will be getting the official word out next week.
 
I have tried a sample of this beer and it is very good...  tastes more like a
craft beer (Redhook, etc.) then a domestic premium lager like Budweiser.

He is bringing us a sample at Christmas, so will let you know how we think it tastes.

Happy Holidays to everyone  -    Myrtice  (So CAL)
