I've received many responses from celiacs who enjoy drinking hard cider
beverages, in moderation, without reaction.  There has been another alcoholic
beverage alternative  for beer and malt beverages: hard ciders.

Woodchuck. Woodpecker and Cider Jack are brands that all of the
gluten-sensitive people that responded said were OK.   However, Woodchuck's
web site (<A HREF="www.woodchuck.com">www.woodchuck.com</A>) states they purchase materials to produce
Woodchuck that come from other vendors (such as caramel sugar used in the
Dark & Dry) and cannot guarantee it is GF.

Everyone that referenced Cider Jack said it was OK, and all responses said
Hornsby's is definitely NOT GF.  The positive result of this query was that
there were no split opinions on a particular brand.

I hope this helps!
