The Growing Trend for Gluten-Free Beer

growing trend gluten free beerIf you’re reading this blog, you’re probably a lot like us: after a long day, or when you’re ready to unwind, very few things sound as good as a great beer. If this describe’s you, don’t worry, you’re not alone: studies show that the average American drinks about 23 gallons or 9 cases of beer annually. Nice.

Like all good things, beer is great in moderation. For those among us who have gluten intolerance and those who are diagnosed with celiac disease, the simple act of enjoying a beer can have more serious consequences. This often includes digestive issues, abdominal pain, joint pain, skin rashes, and may eventually lead to intestinal damage. And that can be a bummer.

What isn’t a bummer, though, is that breweries are recognizing this and are filling kegs, bottles, and cans to provide suitable options to consumers.

As more breweries learn how to craft and produce quality, gluten-free or gluten-reduced ales and lagers, the number of choices of gluten-conscious beers is steadily increasing. In fact, if today you were to attempt to drink a different gluten-free beer every day, you’d be able to drink a unique brew for 60 days…not bad, right?

Here’s the best part: as brewers rise to the challenge of creating quality gluten-free beers, they challenge one another to make these beers as similar to “normal” beers as possible. This means that you can take your friends to one of these breweries and they may not even know that they’re not drinking a beer made with traditional beer ingredients.

New Planet Beer has been at the forefront of this movement since 2009. We strive to make beer that people love and want to drink. We offer a wide array of gluten-free and gluten-reduced beer, giving you a chance to choose something that suits you. So  pick up a six pack and enjoy. Cheers!

4 Reasons Drinking Beer is Good for You

4 Reasons Drinking Beer is Good for You

4 Reasons Drinking Beer is Good for You

A stout or a hearty porter is the perfect beverage to keep you warm on a cold winter night. A cold lager is refreshing on a summer afternoon.

Drinking beer is one of the things that many of us enjoy. Did you know that there are tons of reasons to love a good brew?

Here are 4 reasons drinking beer is good for you:

  1. Fights cancer

You may think that it’s better to crack open a bottle of wine at the end of the day, but you’ll be better off with a bottle of beer. Researchers from Germany have discovered that beer can help prevent cancer.

Xanthohumol is a potent antioxidant that inhibits cancer-causing enzymes. This is found only in hops. This flavonoid can block excessive estrogen and testosterone; thereby, potentially reducing the risk for breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men.

  1. It’s good for your bones

Studies suggest that dark, hoppy ales can increase your bone density. In fact, moderate beer consumption is said to help fight osteoporosis.  This is because they have a significant amount of silicon which contributes to bone and connective tissue health.

  1. Keeps the heart happy

High blood pressure can be linked to a wide variety of diseases. Research suggests that beer can help lower a person’s risk of hypertension. According to a group of researchers from Harvard, moderate beer drinkers are less likely to suffer from high blood pressure as compared to non-drinkers. In addition, it also reduces the risk heart attack and death from cardiovascular disease.

  1. It keeps your kidneys healthy

According to a study that was conducted by a group of Finnish researchers, regular beer consumption can lower a man’s risk of developing kidney stones by up to 40%. Since beer is considered to be a diuretic, beer drinkers are expected to have more frequent trips to the bathroom, which aids in keeping kidneys functioning properly.

Keep, in mind, though, that beer should only be drank in moderation. Cheers to your health!
