So the weekend is upon us and I wasn't going to Blog today, but someone inspired me to after the nice things he wrote on my FB page. (This one is for you Gene!)
I love beer. I think what I miss most now that I am gluten free is I can not have pizza and beer. The quintessential items for a late night or a fun Sunday watching football. But that has all changed. No more excuses because there are some VERY tasty beers out there that people have a preconceived thought about because it doesn't contain any barley or whatever it is they put in beer. People should explore more- there is more to just grabbing a 12 pack of Bud or Miller light. I mean, don't get me wrong I liked those, but common go and explore.
If you were in a microbrewery with a blindfold on and they told you to taste the beers, you would NEVER know they were gluten free. So here is a list of the top beers I love to drink. (In moderation of course!)
1. New Grist Delicious and crisp
2. Greens Refreshing and a great Ale
3. Bards I love the malted sorghum yummmy!
So there you have it. My top three. Now if you want something I call "Summer in your mouth" please see the recipe below!
The Amanda Drink (Summer in your mouth)
Start with a large 8oz cup
fill 1/2 way with ice
Add 1/2 cup of dry white wine (whatever tickles your fancy I like Pinto Grigio)
Add a drizzle of Grenadine (naturally Gluten Free)
Fill the remainder of the cup with Sprite
Add some cherries if you want, sit back, relax and enjoy!!
Yummm.. a Gluten Free wine spritzer. Is summer here yet?
Have a wonderful weekend and remember: Drink responsibly!
xo,
Amanda
