Bernard Gluten Free Pilsner

Bernard Pilsner

 


Bernard Brewery a little known Cezk brewer fastley becoming more renowned in the UK thanks to the Tap Brewery. Tap Brewery  is one of the only bar chains to supply said Pilsner in the UK. Recently while working for one of the Tap bars , they started stocking gluten free Bernard Pilsner.  As far as i know Tap bars may be the only provider as of this post in the UK. 

The beer is remarkable example of how to take its gluten counterpart and copy the flavor so remarkable that you may have to double check the bottle for the gluten free symbol. I say this because gluten free lager above all other types of beer really does struggle to capture the same flavor and the same refreshing taste of its gluten based counterparts. Happily Bernard gluten free pilsner does taste like a good lager its sharp intial bitter taste is what you would expect from a Cezk brewed pilsner. Overall very drinkable and the value is hard to beat as  gluten free beers go in bars. 

I really do hope this beer grabs a bigger hold in the gluten free market because it leaps and bounds above its competition. 

Alc: 4.7
  
Ingredients: water, barely malts, hop products. Gluten content max. 20 mg/kg.

My rating: 8/10

The Gluten Free Beer Blog

Hello there and welcome to my humble blog where I try and help fellow celiac's and people wishing for a little less gluten in there lives to find a damn nice beer to drink.


 The general idea behind this blog is to share my opinion of what i think is either a good value or just a good tasting gluten free beer. While I am by no means an expert in the field of beer i have tasted many of the common and less common beers out there and i believe i can give a reasonable assumption of something that at least looks and tastes like beer. This may sound a bit preachy and readers may find them selves thinking, "well how bad could gluten free beer be". Well to put it simply, .......bad.


I must stress though that my short little reviews are just my opinion, everyone has different tastes and likes different types of beer. My main hope is to enlighten some people to the wide variety of choice that is out there for those either stuck with or interested in a gluten free diet.
