Any suggestions for a good gluten free option? A quick search online reveals several choices, so I'm wondering if anyone has first hand experience with any brands.

Red Bridge, New Grist, Green's, New Planet.
I've only tried Red Bridge and New Grist. Not my thing. I could live with it if I had gluten intolerance. New Planet makes some hoppier varieties that could possibly distract me from the malts.

Thanks for the tips. We are having some friends over and want to be able to accommodate a couple who are gluten intolerant. The wife mentioned having to give up beer, so we're going to surprise them.

Anything with Sorghum malt is usually gluten-free. The taste isn't all that, but if it's a choice between that and giving up beer ...
I think Bard's do GF beers. Their Invalid Link Removed has a search-by-zipcode thing to find a distributor.
edit: looks like Bevmo carries it.

Had a homebrew tripel last night. I finished the last beer from my 1st tripel batch last week, which was amazing and I was sad that it was the last one. The 2nd tripel I made wasn't nearly as good, which made more sad that I didn't have any from the 1st batch.
Been working my way through a 6-pack of Saranac IPA. Not great. Not awful. In that way it's sorta like all of Saranac's varieties.
Right now? Well... white wine... BUT, I'll snag a 12er of seasonal Red Hook on sale. Does that make the cut? Or does it have to be $2+ a bottle? When in snobbery mode, I'm normally buying something 32oz at 8% or more. Rampage (forget the brewery) with that elephant on the label is one of my favorites. The Lagunitas 13th aniversary sold last summer was darn good too. I hope they do a 14th aniversary special this summer. I loved that one.
Had myself a Dragon Stout the other day. Really unique taste (almost like a white wine or grape juice), but I like it a lot.
Just bought a create your own 6'er with all new things to try. I'll report back once I've disposed of the evidence

It should be whiskey tango foxtrot but that is a cool name and an intriguing beer. What kind is it? I am very interested. Unfortunately this week it's High Life for me.
Starting to transition into my summer beers. Picked up some Sam Adams Noble Pils, Cain's dark mild, and Great River Brewing Co Hopapotamus and brown ale.
The Noble Pils seems about on par with what I remembered last year.
I absolutely love dark milds, so I was happy to find one ready to go. A few bonus points for being in a can. I plan on brewing a batch of that this winter and using the Wyeast 1968 yeast cake for an attempt at recreating my old ale.
Hopapotamus is ok. At 8% ABV and 99 IBU, I'd expect it to pack more of a punch, especially as a rye IPA. It's good and somewhat balanced. I just expected more of a kick in the teeth. Both Great River beers were in cans.
Great River Farmer Brown ale. This one was more of a traditional brown ale. Brown ales tend to go well with certain dishes and that's when I reach for it.

Yuengling! Cheap, locally made, totally potable, and now the largest American own beer company!
