My wife is gluten intolerant, and loves beer almost as much as me, so we were were pretty lucky to be in fort colllins when she discovered "oh crap, no more beer". The Tread Lightly from New Planet would do in a pinch if we were out (a very large proportion of the places we ate carried it, so she could still have a couple of beers while I was drinking belgians, etc... at a bar). The 3Rs rasberry beer is quite tasty (fruit beer character overpowers GF beer charater), but expensive (7 or 8 bucks for a bomber). The just started selling it in 4 or 6 packs, which I think are more reasonably priced. They also have a fairly well-hopped pale ale called off grid, which we both like more than greens, and as well or better than st. peters (and more affordable than either). We even were given a free 4 pack months ago while at the ft. collins brewery from one of the brewers who we were talking shop with. He felt so bad that my wife knew so much about beer and couldn't drink it that he gave us some bottles before the label was approved. Apparently the owner in boulder makes the recipes, and the brewers at ft. collins use their know-how to make it work. It was pretty crazy seeing the 50 gallon blue plastic drums of liquid sorghum malt in the back of the brewhouse (as far as I know, they use corn sugars in the recipes as welll).
