St. Peters Sorghum Beer

One of the only things I miss about eating gluten isn't about eating at all: it's about drinking beer.  I'm always on the lookout for new gluten-free beers, which is why I was eager to try St. Peter's.

I enjoyed drinking this beer.  It stands out against other gluten-free lagers for being higher quality, hoppier, and cleaner.   The hoppiness plays nicely against the inevitable metallic flavor that sorghum imparts on a beer.

The description on the bottle reads:

"A clean, crisp beer with a pilsner style lager finish and aromas of citrus and mandarin from American Amarillo hops.  Made from Sorghum, not wheat or barley.  Brewed with skill and patience in Britain's finest small brewery."

I've found St Peter's Sorghum Beer at various GF-friendly grocery stores in the Portland area selling for $6.99.  When weighing the price, keep in mind these factors:

1) It's gluten-free.
2) It's imported.
3) It's from the UK.  They not only make hearty beer there, but they also have a strong currency.
4) It's 1 pint, .9 oz.  That's about two servings in beer glasses like the one pictured.  A typical American bottle of beer is 12 oz.
5) In the world of gluten-free beer drinking, any new beer you can try expands your options considerably.
