Hi All,
We’re doing a little behind-the-scenes maintenance tonight, Thursday the 25th of April, so don’t be too surprised if there are speed bumps, or if the site doesn’t look exactly like you would expect it to. Thanks for your patience!
Harvester Brewing Releases St. Denny Dubbel Style Ale April 12th

We just got the following notice. I’m not a beer drinker so I can’t weigh in personally but I know that we’ve got lots of beer lovers in our GF community! I’ll be there to check it out anyway, I mean a dedicated GF brewerly? Gotta.

Harvester Brewing is pleased to announce the latest release out of their dedicated gluten-free brewery in the Experiment Ale series, a Dubbel style ale made with Belgian candi syrup.
Similar to Harvester’s other beers, the Dubbel is made using roasted chestnuts but is differentiated by the addition of dark Belgian candi syrup. It’s lightly hopped with Styrian Goldings, and fermented with a blend of two gluten-free Belgian yeast strains.
When Harvester founder James Neumeister was starting out as a homebrewer, he contacted homebrewing legend Denny Conn and asked him where he could learn to brew using the batch-sparge method that Denny advocates when homebrewing. Denny invited James over that weekend and after a day of brewing under Denny’s tutelage, his word quickly became the rule when James was homebrewing, prompting his other brewing partners to start referring to Mr. Conn as ‘Saint’ Denny. This background, combined with the common practice of Belgian style beers having ‘Saint’ names, led to the name St. Denny for this beer.
St. Denny Dubbel style ale will be released at Harvester Brewing this Friday, April 12th at an event from 3:30 to 7pm. A very limited amount of the St. Denny Dubbel will be available on draft, only at the brewery. Bottles will roll out to store shelves next week and are available to order through Harvester’s online store now for shipment starting April 15th.

Working Behind the Scenes on Gluten-Free Portland!

Hello hello, everyone!
I wanted to first thank Dave for passing on the torch at GFP. He’s neck deep in a bunch of other projects but I’ll confess that I’m hoping to rope him into con
tinuing to do some restaurant reviews. He’s still got to eat, right? And he’ll be around as he’s agreed to co-admin our FB group (come on over!).
Second, I figured it’s time to show my face and let you know that we’re working behind the scenes with plans for some site updates, new reviews and an exciting new layout and plan. Now we’re not quite ready for a big reveal but some of the things that are coming down the pike include:
- Kids Corner. Local gluten-free cuties doing video reviews of restaurants, locally produced products, and other things of interest to our GF community.
- Faster loading.
- Updated restaurant lists.
- Monthly feature focusing on restaurants that understand and are able to accommodate cross-contamination concerns.
- Local GF product section.
What do you think? Anything else you’d like to see here? Please shout, we’re open to new ideas (and guest contributors!)
In Health,
