Gluten Free Beer Bratwurst!!
my custom gluten free
beer bratwurst. i am very proud of how my hogs are raised, you can read
about them on my hog
page.
this page is about making a special sausage, my custom gluten free beer
bratwurst. while i am not sensitive to gluten. my partner is a celiac,
and i am sensitve the problems that come with being a celiac. my
favorite brat, is the beer brat. i know i would sure miss having a few
of these on the grill over the 4th of july if i developed a sensitivity
to gluten. so i am doing my part to make these great beer brats
available to those with a gluten sensitivity. for those of you that are
not sensitive, you may be wondering why a beer brat would be a problem.
well it is the beer. beer uses fermented grain and weather it is wheat
oats barley or rye, they all have gluten, and
that will quickly ruin a
celiacs day. doing a little research on the net i found a
handful
of gluten free beers. most are imported and not exactly cheep. the one
i decided on is Bards beer.
made in america from sorgum. now i am not a beer drinker, so i had no
idea if this beer tasted any good. i grabbed a six pack and had some
beer buddies tell me what they thought. surprisingly for a gluten free
product, everyone was pleased with the beer. one of my beer buddies is
a long time home brewer and he was quite impressed. this time around
the brats are nice and lean. we cooked some up the day they were
ground, and they were a big hit with the crew at the chop shop. i will
be trying out some gluten free buns next week since in my opinion a
beer brat needs to be on a toasted bun. the buns i found are from outside
the bread box
in colorado springs. we have tried many of their other gluten free
products and found them to be pretty good. i will be
at the colorado farm and art market
in colorado springs on saturdays and the woodland
park farmers market
on fridays for the remainder of the season. I have decided
not to
do any shipping, i am focusing on local. shipping cross country is not
a green thing, and i will avoid the excessive burning of fossile fuels.
if you would like to get some but can not make one of the markets or it
is after the market season is over email me and we can work
something out for pick up. 2 tank minimum at gmail
