sour gum?

look a little like college to anyone else?

A friend recently sent me a message about a sorghum based beer. If you have one of a small number of diseases, or just prefer then gluten is a dietary no no. as such beer can be real trouble. (terrible I know but keep reading there is hope.) wheat, malt, and barley all have gluten. (actually so does sorghum, but a different kind. think the difference between herpes most of us have that cause canker sores if you get symptoms. or herpes for real open wounds on special parts). Anyways, there are several beers out right now that are made with sorghum to cater to the glutenless crowd. this is actually a tradition not a new fad. sorghum is used as a filler, but is a real crop just like wheat and is popular Africa. so there are some traditional African beer recipes that use only sorghum. sprechter has made a beer that is sorghum based and is marketed as a traditional African fire brewed style. lakefront, old st Peter's, and green(which has three) all have some gluten free sorghum recipes available. There are many others but these are all beers i know available in Chicago. also, red bridge is out there, but it's made by busch sooooo. i hope to do a sampling of a few soon and post some results. thanks a lot to my former stage manager for pointing out the need for review of this product.
