Darling Brew Stirs Up A Gluten-Free Masterpiece

Darling Brew’s Break Free Gluten-Free Red Ale

If you’ve had to limit your alcohol pleasantries because of an unpleasant tummy, you can join the party again with Darling Brew’s new Break Free Gluten-Free Red Ale.

They are said to offer a solution to the age-old catch 22 trade-off between quality and flavour for gluten-free alternatives. Come the festive and holiday season, beer drinkers can enjoy a less bitter, but smoother aperitif.

Darling Brew: An Award-Winning Beer House

Pioneered in 2010, Daring Brew is Africa’s first carbon-neutral brewery. And, at the forefront is sustainability and conservation.

Their Break Free Gluten-Free Lager recently earned a Silver Medal at the African Beer Cup, which is what inspired their latest edition of the Red Ale.

In addition to the health-aware ingredients of this ale, the bottle in which it is packaged is also a sight to behold. A nature-inspired label dons the outside of the dark brown bottle, bringing out the deep red hues of the liquid. Furthermore, a peaceful Scarlet Chested Sunbird sits on the label.

Spicy notes lead the way in this beer, followed by sweet accents and fruity aromas. Hence, it is equally perfect for a night on the town or a relaxed afternoon in the sun.

Tewa Roos, Managing Director of Darling Brew, says: “We welcome beer enthusiasts and the gluten-sensitive community to savour Darling Brew’s Break Free Gluten-Free Red Ale, a testament to our craft beer mastery. This new release enriches our diverse lineup and upholds our steadfast commitment to sustainability and quality.”

Why Gluten-Free Is A Hot Health Trend

Gluten is a type of protein found most commonly in grains like wheat, barley and rye. Therefore, it is naturally-occurring and acts as a binding agent to hold foods together and offer them shape and texture.

Essentially, gluten provides our bodies with protein, soluble fibre and nutrients. Needless to say, it’s not bad for you per-say. However, individuals whose bodies struggle to break down the gluten in their small intestine during the digestive process might say otherwise.

Celiac disease, gluten intolerance, wheat allergies and gluten ataxia are examples of instances when individuals should definitely avoid gluten. This will help to reduce inflammation of the small intestine and decrease the amount of digestive distress.

However, nutritionists say many healthy individuals are cutting gluten from their diet in hopes of losing weight and to reduce bloating or bowel issues. Most people go about it by cutting out carbohydrates from their diet, which leads to nutrient deficiencies and unsustainable eating habits.

So, if you are on a health grind or suffer from gluten-related diseases but still want to participate in social drinking, Darling Brew’s newest creation, available at leading bottle stores or online, might just be the solution.
