| We’ve always made corned beef with beer added while it cooks. A guest this year has celiac and can’t have any gluten. I’m thinking about adding a splash of wine instead of the beer. Anyone have experience or advice? |
| I'd use a hard cider |
| We always boil ours in water with spices. No alcohol needed |
| We use water or beef broth plus the spices that come with. |

| There are gluten free beers |
Whatever you do, do not use Omission Beer, which advertises itself as Gluten-Free, but uses low-protein barley, which contains gluten. They have acknowledged it is "low enough" gluten for them to legally call it "gluten-free." I know a couple people with celiac who have ended up in the hospital after trying it. |
Yikes! Thank you for the warning. I always thought that the beer helped soften the meat but really don’t understand the science of it. A cider is a good idea, thanks! |
This, OP. |
Same here. But not tomorrow for us. It's Lent. We'll be St Patty'in on Sunday instead. |
^^ Meant to add a thank you to you for trying to accomodate your GF guest. A host(ess) who considers all of the ingredients of their dishes is greatly appreciated.
