Lisa Shaver ND is putting on what looks like it will be the best Gluten-free Food Fair yet!

Come one, come all!

AND

New Seasons is having a 50% off sale on some of their “best selling” gluten-free items. I’m really really hoping it will be more than just a few things! Bet they’ll have some tastings going on there as well.

Enjoy!

Harvester Brewing Releases St. Denny Dubbel Style Ale April 12th

Dr. Samantha — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 04:54:44 +0000

We just got the following notice. I’m not a beer drinker so I can’t weigh in personally but I know that we’ve got lots of beer lovers in our GF community! I’ll be there to check it out anyway, I mean a dedicated GF brewerly? Gotta.

In Health,

Dr. Samantha

Harvester Brewing is pleased to announce the latest release out of their dedicated gluten-free brewery in the Experiment Ale series, a Dubbel style ale made with Belgian candi syrup.

Similar to Harvester’s other beers, the Dubbel is made using roasted chestnuts but is differentiated by the addition of dark Belgian candi syrup. It’s lightly hopped with Styrian Goldings, and fermented with a blend of two gluten-free Belgian yeast strains.

When Harvester founder James Neumeister was starting out as a homebrewer, he contacted homebrewing legend Denny Conn and asked him where he could learn to brew using the batch-sparge method that Denny advocates when homebrewing. Denny invited James over that weekend and after a day of brewing under Denny’s tutelage, his word quickly became the rule when James was homebrewing, prompting his other brewing partners to start referring to Mr. Conn as ‘Saint’ Denny. This background, combined with the common practice of Belgian style beers having ‘Saint’ names, led to the name St. Denny for this beer.

St. Denny Dubbel style ale will be released at Harvester Brewing this Friday, April 12th at an event from 3:30 to 7pm. A very limited amount of the St. Denny Dubbel will be available on draft, only at the brewery. Bottles will roll out to store shelves next week and are available to order through Harvester’s online store now for shipment starting April 15th.
