🍺 At the Breweries — What's Safe:
✅ Hard cider, wine, hard seltzer, and distilled spirits — all naturally GF and safe
✅ Drinking Horn Meadery (Route 66) — mead is naturally GF, made from honey. Best Celiac-safe drink in Flagstaff
✅ Dark Sky Brewing carries ciders on tap — confirm lines aren't shared with barley beers
⚠️ "Gluten-removed" beers (like Omission) are NOT recommended for true Celiac — may still trigger reactions
