About This Beer
Rye River Bidin Time Gluten Free Lager 50cl is a refreshing and flavourful gluten free beer that proves great lager does not need to compromise on character. Available for craft beer Ireland customers looking for a crisp and approachable gluten free beer, this 4.5% lager combines clean malt flavours, balanced bitterness, and excellent drinkability. Those seeking quality gluten free beer can discover more favourites in our Gluten Free Beer collection.
Brewed by Rye River Brewing Company in County Kildare, Bidin Time has been created to offer all the refreshment and flavour expected from a premium lager beer while remaining suitable for those avoiding gluten. The brewery has focused on balance and drinkability, resulting in a beer that appeals equally to gluten free beer drinkers and traditional lager fans.
The beer pours a bright pale golden colour with excellent clarity and a lasting white head. Aromas of fresh bread, light cereal malt, floral hops, and subtle citrus emerge from the glass, creating an inviting introduction to the beer.
On the palate, Bidin Time delivers gentle malt sweetness supported by clean hop bitterness and refreshing carbonation. Notes of biscuit, light grain, floral hops, and subtle citrus provide flavour without overwhelming the beer's easy-drinking nature. The finish remains crisp, dry, and highly refreshing.
One of the strengths of this gluten free lager is its balance. Some gluten free beers can struggle to replicate the flavour and body of traditional beer styles, but Bidin Time maintains the clean character and satisfying mouthfeel expected from a quality craft lager. The result is a beer that feels complete and authentic rather than a compromise.
Its moderate 4.5% ABV makes it highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of occasions, from social gatherings and barbecues to relaxed evenings at home. The refreshing profile also makes it an excellent choice during warmer weather.
