Glutenberg stout: how to ask CBC Liquors in Westford

Glutenberg is a Canadian brewer known for gluten-free beer, and its stout is the bottle people hunt for when they want a dark beer made without gluten-containing grains. If you want us to look for it, call CBC Liquors at 142 Littleton Rd in Westford or send a request through our Kegs and special order page.

What is Glutenberg stout?

Glutenberg is a brewery in Montreal that brews beer for people who avoid gluten. Its range is built on grains such as millet, buckwheat, corn and quinoa instead of barley, wheat or rye. The stout is its dark beer, made to give some of the roast and body people expect from the style.

Stout in general is a dark, roasty beer. Traditional versions get their coffee and chocolate notes from roasted malted barley. A gluten-free stout has to get there another way, so it will taste a little different from a classic Irish dry stout or an imperial stout. That is worth knowing before you buy.

Does CBC Liquors carry Glutenberg stout?

Call the shop during opening hours and tell us you want Glutenberg stout. We can tell you what we can do from there.

If you would rather not call, use the Kegs and special order request page. It is the place on our site to ask for something you cannot find on the shelf. Put the beer name and the size you are after in the request.

Rare and specialty bottles come and go, and a request is the most reliable way to get a straight answer about one.

How do you ask for a hard-to-find beer?

Be specific. Give the brewer, the beer name and the format you want, such as cans or bottles. Say whether you need it for a certain date, because that changes what is realistic.

Our hours are Sunday 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, Monday to Thursday 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and Friday and Saturday 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Calling earlier in the day usually means you reach us when the shop is less busy.

If you cannot get to Westford, we also offer pickup, delivery and shipping. Ask us which applies to the item you want.

Are the stouts we list gluten-free?

No. The stouts we list below are made in the traditional way with barley and other gluten-containing grains, so they are not gluten-free. If you avoid gluten, do not substitute them for Glutenberg.

They are here for readers who like the style and are not restricted. If you are unsure about any beer, check the label and talk to us before you buy.

Which stouts can you buy from us today?

Guinness is the familiar dry Irish stout, light in body for a dark beer. SAMUEL SMITHS Organic Chocolate Stout leans into cocoa notes for a sweeter pour.

For something bigger, NORTH COAST Old Rasputin is a Russian imperial style, richer and stronger than a standard stout. WIDOWMAKER CANDYMAKER comes from a maker we carry plenty of; see the Widowmaker brand page for more.

If you like strong, dessert-like dark beer, look at New Holland Dragons Milk and New Holland DRAGONS MILK TRIPLE MASH. Both are barrel-aged style beers meant for slow sipping.

What if you want a dark beer without a stout?

Our dark beer category also covers porter and amber, brown and red beers. Porter is close to stout, usually a little lighter and less roasty. Brown and red ales are softer and more malt-led.

For wider browsing, our beer category lists everything we have, and the Beer Styles collection groups it by style.
