Coors Peak is a new naturally gluten free and certified gluten free beer.
I’m not much of a beer drinker, so I had a gluten-free beer drinker try it. He reported: “Drinkers who love a great micro brew will be disappointed but, it is a fine alternative to a “regular” macro brew.”
Sadly for us, it is only available now in Oregon and Washington. Hope it travels east soon. Comment when you spot it here.
I’m so excited that Trans-Ocean products are now labeled gluten free.
From their website:
We are proud to say that effective Fall 2014, our production plant became a dedicated, 100% gluten-free facility and all of our products are now gluten-free. You’ll find a gluten-free banner on all of our packaging. Be assured our products have the same delicious flavor and high quality that has made us America’s #1 brand of surimi seafood.
“Fake crab” is one of the few things I’ve missed since going GF. But not any longer.

Now Lean Cuisine has a labelled gluten free option: Ranchero Braised Beef
The remarkably accurate description is “braised beef in a spicy read chile sauce served with a side of chipotle mashed sweet potatoes”. Overall tasty with a nice spicy note, though the beef had an odd rubbery/chewy texture and there was much more sauce than beef.
Lean Cuisine was on sale 5 for $10 at Giant Eagle. Nice that there is no upcharge for a gluten free product.
On February 3, 2015 local radio program The Sound of Ideas featured an excellent discussion of Going Gluten Free.
Guests:
Jeffry Katz, Medical Director of Inflammatory Bowel Disease at UH Case Medical Center, professor of medicine at CWRU School of Medicine
Trisha Lyons, dietician at MetroHealth Medical Center, has Celiac disease
Laura Jeffers, dietician but with the Cleveland Clinic
Laurie Sammon, member of the Northeast Ohio Celiac Disease Network and the mother of a son with Celiac disease
Program Description:
We’ve been bombarded for years about the wonders of sugar-free or fat-free products, but what’s the big deal about gluten free? The gluten free market will hit $15 billion by the end of next year, double what it was five years before. It makes you wonder: Is gluten bad for you? Unless you have a certain medical condition, probably not. We’ll explain what gluten is, why it’s in so much of what we eat and who needs to worry about it.

I had dinner at the Granite City at Legacy Village last week. They have a gluten free menu which has a large disclaimer about not being a gluten free environment and suggests speaking with a member of the management team. Our server quickly called over the General Manager, Weston Baril, who reassured me that the items on the menu could be prepared safely, suggesting steak or grilled chicken or fish.
He noted that the gluten free bun offered for sandwiches was heated in the commmunal toaster but could be heated in the salamander which is GF. He said he’d alert the kitchen to expect a GF order. I ordered grilled salmon, broccoli and a baked potato. All were fine, though not outstanding. Gluten eating companions thought their burgers were ok. None of us was thrilled but decided we’d return and order differently.
Other locations in Maumee, Ohio and around the country.
