  Food Pairings

  • Light Seafood Dishes: The beer’s lightness and subtle citrus notes make it a great match for seafood. Try it with grilled shrimp, baked cod, or a light seafood pasta. The crispness of the beer will complement the delicacy of the seafood.
  • Salads with Citrus Dressing: A fresh green salad with a citrus-based dressing, such as a lemon vinaigrette or an orange and honey dressing, would pair nicely with the beer’s mild malt sweetness and citrus flavors.
  • Chicken Dishes: Grilled or roasted chicken, especially with herbs or a light marinade, would work well. The beer can enhance the flavors of the chicken without overpowering it.
  • Cheese and Charcuterie Boards: A platter featuring mild cheeses like mozzarella, goat cheese, or a young cheddar, along with some light charcuterie, would be a delightful pairing. The beer’s clean taste can cut through the richness of the cheese and meat.
  • Asian Cuisine: Lighter Asian dishes, such as spring rolls, sushi, or a chicken noodle salad with a light dressing, can pair well with the beer. The mild flavors of these dishes will harmonize with the beer’s subtle citrus notes.
  • Grilled Sausages: Lightly seasoned grilled sausages can be a great match, especially in a casual or outdoor setting. The crisp and clean nature of the beer can refresh the palate between bites.

STRUGGLING WITH SUDS

Do you love beer, but hate the way it makes your gut feel? We know it is especially sucky for anyone with Celiac disease. It is a heartbreaking moment when something you love doesn’t love you back, especially when you love to enojy a tasty cold beer after a long day. But then, enter the hero…

WE FOUND A SOLUTION!

Salvation has arrived in the form of Clarity Ferm, a magical elixir that helps turn cloudy beers clear. A true beer miracle! But that’s not where the story ends – it turns out that Clarity Ferm had an unexpected side hustle: it could kick gluten out of beer. If you have given up on your beer-drinking days, we have the fix for you.

OUR PROCESS

  • Our beers are made with the usual gluten-packed grains.
  • Every batch of Stay Chill Blonde Ale undergoes the gluten-reduction process using Clarity Ferm.
  • The use of Clarity Ferm is undetectable in terms of taste.
  • The FDA requires food labeled as “gluten-free” to contain less than 20 parts per million of gluten.
  • We send batches to an independent lab before packaging and it is tested to contain less than 20 parts per million of gluten.

THE GLUTEN-FREE LABEL

Now, you might wonder why we don’t slap a “Gluten-Free” label on our packaging. To be labeled as “gluten-free”, beer must be crafted entirely without gluten-containing ingredients like wheat or related grains. As a result, gluten-free beers incorporate alternative grains like sorghum, buckwheat, millet, and quinoa, that may impart some unusual flavors int the beer. Also, the U.S. Government prevents brewers from labeling anything “gluten-free” that are not made in this manner.* So, we properly use the term “gluten-reduced”.

*Legal jargon? Yep, it’s a thing. Legally, we can’t promise how this beer will interact with your digestive system as beer is not considered a medically-reviewed product. Everyone’s tummy is different, and navigating sensitivities can be tricky. But here’s the scoop: As of writing this, we’ve had zero complaints from our gluten-sensitive friends since Stay Chill Blonde Ale was introduced in 2022.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Enough with the fine print! Let’s get to the good stuff – the beer! We know you’re on the gluten-reduced lifeboat in a sea of beers you’d rather not test. But hey, it’d be a real downer if that lifeboat was stocked with lousy, uninspired beer. Check out Stay Chill Blonde Ale and let us know what your think.
