Looking for Gluten Free Menu Options at Brewsters?

Our first visit to Brewsters lasted all of 5 minutes.

We sat down, explained the gluten free restrictions, and was told that everything is basically deep fried in beer batter, so just have the salad. "okay, good bye".

Well, recently I decided to ask Brewsters on Twitter if they ever thought of brewing a gluten free beer.  Unfortunately they said they did not have the equipment.  Which was unfortunate.  I had only asked because Meredith sent me an article about a brewer in Ontario that started brewing a gluten free beer and was totally caught off guard by the demand.  I thought it would be a good opportunity.

Anyway, I thought to ask again about gluten free menu options at their Edmonton restaurants and I got some better answers than the first time. Gluten Free Menu Options:

• BBQ Salmon and Spinach Salad (No BBQ Sauce)
• Nachos
• Wings with certain sauce (Not a dedicated fryer)
• 8oz sirloin
• Candied pecan salad
• Fries (Dedicated fryer)
• Lobster/artichoke Dip (With Nachos to dip)
• Long beach salad
• Steak and Sangria Salad
• Butter Chicken (no naan)
• Caesar salad (no croutons)
• Some soups are gluten free

So essentially there is not a whole lot to eat, and there are risks of cross contamination.  I think of visiting Brewsters in Edmonton for eating gluten free like I do when going to Earl's; which is, not our choice to eat here, but if you had to go there, that is what you can try to eat.
