My wife and I both have problems with gluten so we've been brewing our own GF beer for the last ~7 years. It was difficult to get started but the output is well worth the effort!

Most of them are darker brews (stouts, tripels, etc). This is one of our lighter holiday ales that came in ~8% ABV.

It's a good day to be a cider nerd, I get gluten free and low carb right out of the box!

How dry you make your cider for it to be low-carb. :'D

It almost always ends on an FG of about .990. So, low carb compared to other brewed things that have free sugar in the final product but nothing is ever gonna make alcohol not break down the way it does in the body.
