I received the following comments from Anheuser-Busch regarding Red Bridge:

Thank you for contacting Anheuser-Busch. We appreciate your interest in our company and in our Redbridge beer. 



Redbridge is a rich, hearty, full-bodied lager with a well-balanced taste.  We brew it using sorghum, water, yeast, a blend of imported and domestic hops, and corn.  No wheat or barley is used to make the beer.



Redbridge is brewed using the same equipment as our other beers; however, everything is thoroughly cleaned and continually monitored to ensure that no ingredient mixing occurs.  In addition, all beer is tested for absence of sensitive proteins prior to and after packaging. 



With regard to the labeling of Redbridge, The Alcohol & Tobacco Tax & Trade Bureau currently has a policy that prohibits the term "gluten-free" on an alcohol beverage label.  They are waiting for the Food & Drug Administration to define what the term means.  In the meantime, we are permitted to use the phrase "made without wheat or barley" on our Redbridge label.



If you have any questions about Redbridge's impact on your health, we encourage you to consult with your physician before adding it to your diet.



In addition, while Redbridge is not currently distributed to Canada, our beer is distributed throughout Florida. We encourage you to contact your local Anheuser-Busch wholesaler for a list of retailers that currently sell Redbridge in your area. We are providing the contact information for your wholesaler below. Additional Anheuser-Busch wholesalers throughout Florida may be located by visiting www.abwholesaler.com.
