New Grist
New Grist is brewed without wheat or barley, from sorghum, rice and malted millet, and was the first gluten-free beer the US government approved for production. A pale gold, light-bodied session beer with a refreshing Pilsner flavour, a light fruity aroma and hints of green apple cutting through the sorghum maltiness. 5.0% ABV, 10 IBU, hopped with Chinook and Lemondrop; brewed since 2005.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for New Grist
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
