Todays Episode is extra special as we have a VERY special guest in the house…. Sara Bund!! For today, we’re going to be drinking about Gluten Free Beers! For those of you out there that love the taste of good craft beer, but due to having a gluten intolerance or Silica’s disease…fear not! The beers we’re showcasing this evening are here to save the day! So listen/watch in and learn about these delectable safe options for you!

Cheers!

Tonight’s line up:


Glutenberg Blond Ale: ABV 4.5% | IBUs 15

Glutenberg’s Blonde is the proud originator of the range, the pioneer of real good gluten-free beer. Airy and lemony, its golden colour reveals floral and slightly herbaceous notes, giving way to a dry and tasty finish. The brewery’s first official creation, it paved the way for success and continues to assert itself today as a thirsty beer that will charm all palates.

 

Gutenberg Blanche: ABV 5% | IBUs 13

This is a very unique interpretation of a classic style of Belgian inspiration. Traditionally brewed from wheat, the genre has been completely redesigned in the Glutenberg way in order to present a 100% gluten-free and 100% wheat-free beer, a real tour de force whose recipe only we have!

The Glutenberg White is distinguished by its composition of quinoa and amaranth which, while giving it a strong grainy profile, ensures a long-lasting taste. Soft and refreshing, with hints of coriander and curaçao, the White is the perfect nectar to quench your summer thirst.

 

Glutenberg Pale Ale: ABV 5.5% | IBUs 50

The American Pale Ale is Glutenberg’s first incursion in the universe of hoppy beers. A savoury concoction with citrusy notes, this beer perfectly showcases the brewery’s versatility. Its orange and grapefruit aromas softly temper the straight-up character of American hops by endowing it with a slight touch of bitterness. The result is a delectable, balanced, resinous and full-bodied beer.



Glutenberg Rousse Beer (Amber Ale): ABV 5% | IBUs 24

Proudly echoing English brown ales, the Glutenberg Red is renowned for its great complexity, both in its manufacture and in its taste. Brewed from two types of chestnuts, each requiring its own specific roasting method, this smooth beer with a hint of toasted nuts reveals a unique coffee and caramel taste. She stands out in all the charts, with good reason!

Glutenberg Stout: ABV 5% |IBUs 40

Glutenberg’s Stout is distinguished by its opaque black colour, as well as by its powerful aromas of cocoa and roasted cereals.

Robust notes of espresso coffee, dark chocolate and ripe fruit conferred by the dark malt give it a pleasant length in the mouth that will not leave Stout lovers indifferent.

About your host

Profile picture for Erik Coleman

Erik Coleman

BEERst (Erik Coleman) was raised in Ellicottville, NY a ski-village an hour outside of Buffalo. He earned his undergraduate degree at Hamilton College a Master’s of Education at Niagara University then attended Canisius College. After leaving twenty years of education, he decided to take the plunge and go all-in on his journey with craft beer and beverages and start his own business. He is the owner of Beer By Coleman & Co-owner of 716Craft (serving as a Craft Beer Consultant & Concierge). He is also Director of Trocaire College’s Brewing, Distillation & Fermentation Program, also serving as the Buffalo/Niagara Brewers Association Events Chairperson.
He has over 25+ years in the craft beer & beverage industry. He has participated in the opening and operating numerous brewing companies in both Western NY and NY state (with some of the biggest craft brands), as well as throughout the country and abroad.
A near-death experience forced Erik to have a wake-up call at age 41, which has sent him off on a mission to follow his passion to help the ultimate craft beer & beverage experiences for the masses.

Bougie (Jodi Coleman) is coming to us from Williamsville, NY, a suburb of Buffalo and has spent twenty years working as a high school counselor. She earned both her undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University at Buffalo. Her work is not what defines her but it is her incredible family and many (each one special) vivacious friends. She serves as Queencess of BEERst’s realm, hard loving clown to people in her world and prefers to be under a chandelier, surrounded in sparkles if she is not dressed in the creative theme of show…..because life is too short.
She had spent a total of zero time drinking craft beer before meeting BEERst and is vocal about being the novice of the two. Shockingly, she put down her wine glass to give craft beer a try and is loving the journey. She asks the questions that any newbie would like to know and is also never afraid to try a new style!
She is not without depth, as the tragic loss of her younger sister has catapulted her passion to enjoy every minute of life in her honor. She continues to remind us that every day of life is a celebration.

The Journey:
The Pandemic brought a rising cry from all that knew them to create an outlet where they could go and experience something other than the atrocities that the COvid-19 pandemic was unfolding around them and the rest of the world. BEERst took to FB Live and started on his own. However, fate had a different thought and when a special guest canceled last minute…BEERst turned to Bougie - his wife, his rock, his “Ride or Die” and asked her to come on the show.
Well, that’s when the real magic began! Now, nine months later they are still going strong with quite a following amongst craft beer & beverage aficionados and newbies alike. They have created this podcast to serve as another outlet for you to be able to enjoy this Fabulous & Delicious Libation Experience.
Cheers!
