That was a while ago and I did see that they are now stocking sorghum malt. I think sorghum by itself is too sweet and too insipid, and blending it with other malts like buckwheat and rice can sometimes give it a much better flavor. Even beet juice I hear is a good ingredient to give it more body. The only guys I spoke with about GF beer were the good folks at Beer, Beer and More Beer.

I always think about your predicament when I see the Red Bridge in the beer aisle. It has to only be a matter of time before more California craft brewers have a sorghum offering. I could see Thirsty Bear or one of the more hippy small brewers in the area experimenting in the near future. Do you ever talk to brewers about it? I bet more than a few would be up for some experimentation, and maybe even having a tasting event to help create some awareness among the beer geek sceene. Awesome find!
