Stay On Track With New Planet Beer

,

As February slips away, Spring is getting closer, which usually means baring a little more skin. Sleeveless shirts, shorts, and swim suites can make some people feel a little weary since the New Year’s Resolutions just started. Although, New Planet Beer Company doesn’t think anyone should have to sacrifice a good beer while staying true to their health and fitness goals.

Finding a low calorie beer that tastes great, and doesn’t forfeit alcohol content, can be a daunting task. To lower the calorie content most brewers of light beer have to reduce the alcohol content.

New Planet Beers have fewer calories and higher alcohol content than other similar beers. For example, Tread Lightly Ale contains 125 calories per 12 oz beer, and 14 grams of carbohydrates, while the average craft beer contains 150-200+ calories and 15-20g of carbs! Our gluten-free beers are also approximately 5% ABV. Most other low-calorie beers are below 4% ABV because the alcohol is replaced with water in order to lower the calorie content.

All of our gluten-free beers are under 170 calories which means that anyone can enjoy New Planet Beer without worrying about the scale or the gluten. We even make it easy to keep track – all of the nutritional facts can be found on the side of any New Planet Beer bottle.

Enjoy a cold one!




New Planet Beer is Expanding Outside of Colorado

,

At last, people in the Rocky Mountain Region and Midwest States following a gluten-free diet can also enjoy a great tasting craft beer. Boulder, Colorado based New Planet Beer Company offering gluten-free beers are now widely available throughout Colorado, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Oklahoma (March), and Nebraska (May) in grocery chains, liquor stores and restaurants. Additional Rocky Mountain Region and Midwest States will soon follow. Our beer locator doesn’t have our new locations listed as of yet, but be on the lookout in your state. We’ll let you know when the beer locator can provide the specific locations.

Some of you may be asking, “What about the rest of the United States?” We promise that we’re working on it! We have to be able to brew enough guaranteed gluten-free beer for everyone (that’s a lot of beer!), so it takes time to figure that out. We’ll keep you posted on additional states as we add them.

The good news– we’ll be offering all three styles of our gluten-free beer in the states we expand to.

Tread Lightly Ale – is a smooth and well-balanced “Pilsner like” style ale with citrus tones and light in body and color. Tread Lightly Ale is made from sorghum and corn extract, orange peel, hops, and yeast. Tread Lightly supports trail restoration.

3R Raspberry Ale – our award winning raspberry fruit ale has just the right balance of fruit flavor and aroma. 3R Raspberry Ale is made from sorghum and corn extract, natural raspberry puree, orange peel, hops, and yeast. ‘3R’ supports Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle – the 3R’s of waste reduction education.

Off Grid Pale Ale – is a wonderful interpretation of the classic pale ale style. It has a distinctly deep amber color and great character and body. The three varieties of hops provide a wonderful aroma and a citrus and spicy hop flavor. Made from sorghum and brown rice extract, tapioca maltodextrin, caramel color, molasses, hops, and yeast. Off Grid Pale Ale supports alternative energy efforts.

A Gluten-Free Super Bowl

,

With over 3 million people in the U.S. diagnosed with Celiac disease, restaurants and other establishments are changing their menus to accommodate their gluten-free clientele.  Many stadiums across the country have begun to offer gluten-free options, from gluten-free hotdog and hamburger buns to cookies and beer!

Unfortunately, for those of you headed to Dallas for Super Bowl weekend will have to bring your own game day snacks, the new stadium doesn’t have gluten-free options. However, according to the website, they do permit people with “medical requirements and special needs” who can call ahead to bring in food and beverages. If you are planning on attending the game and want to bring in some gluten-free snacks, or some New Planet Beer, give the Cowboys Stadium Guest Services a call at (817) 892-4161.

For those of you watching the game from home or at a friends house, pick up some New Planet Beer at your local Colorado liquor store.
