The folks at Whole Foods Market team asked me to pop in and show y’all how to make the how to make the perfect gluten-free Red Beer. I was happy to oblige, because I love a red beer!
About Gluten-Free Red Beer Recipe Ingredients:
To get started, pop a pint glass in the freezer - even a couple of minutes helps. Then, gather tomato juice or good quality tomato puree, Worcestershire sauce + your favorite hot sauce (make sure they're both gluten-free!), a wedge of lime and frosty cold bottle or can of your favorite gluten free beer. I prefer to use tomato puree, you get more tomato flavor and more room for beer. If you like a seasoned rim, spread some seasoning salt on a small, flat plate, and get any garnishes you want to use. Olives, wax peppers, bacon and pickles are all good choices.

If you’ve got friends or family that aren’t gluten-free, use their favorite conventional ale to make a traditional red beer with the same recipe.
