Gluten haters rejoice: there’s a new Toronto craft beer for you

Attention Toronto gluten-haters and avoiders: beer from Heady Brew’s new dedicated gluten-free brewing facility in North York is now flowing at two GTA bars. The brand is currently supplying its first creation, Honey Citrus, to Kensington Cornerstone and to the Newmarket location of Gabby’s. Heady’s, the brainchild of gluten-free baker Robert Cundari, swaps out the traditional offending ingredients with Celiac-friendly substitutions (for example, the Honey Citrus is made with sorghum and rice instead of barley, then flavoured with honey and lime). Expect an expanded list of bars and restaurants, and a larger variety of flavours as production ramps up (although a bottle shop is probably not in the offing in the near future). The gluten-averse can also try Thornhill’s Snowman Brewing Co. for other varieties of gluten-free libations (that is, if you can find somewhere that sells it). [h/t Canadian Beer News]
