Lakefront Brewery Expands Its Popular New Grist Line Of Gluten-Free Beers With A Lower-Alcoholic, Lower-Calorie Grapefruit Radler, Available Now

Experts in brewing gluten-free beer and the first to brew one (2005), Lakefront Brewery continues to innovate and experiment in the gluten-free space, ensuring gluten-intolerant beer lovers have quality options on the store shelf.
 
MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (MARCH 10^th, 2026) – Lakefront Brewery, the largest seller of gluten-free beer in the United States, is excited to announce the release of New Grist Grapefruit Radler for national distribution. The Radler combines gluten-free beer and soda, creating a refreshing and thirst-quenching grapefruit beverage that is low in alcohol at 3% ABV and only 110 calories per 12oz can.
 
This will be the first gluten-free beverage Lakefront has released in two years and will be featured in 6-packs as well as inside Lakefront’s Gluten Free Variety 12-pack year-round. “People are drinking less alcohol and being vigilant about what they’re putting in their bodies,” says Russ Klisch, Owner of Lakefront Brewery. “Whether you have a gluten-intolerance or not, we wanted to provide something revitalizing that was lower in alcohol and easier on the calories for all craft beer drinkers. This is a well-balanced, repeatable beverage that can really go the distance.”
 
The refreshing beverage known as a Radler has stood the test of time. Originating in 1920’s Germany, Franz Xaver Kugler ran a pub along a popular biking route. Thirsty cyclists ran the pub dry until Franz put a cellar full of limonade soda to use. Concocting a 50/50 split between the limonade and his remaining beer, the Radler was born.
 
The sorghum and rice-based New Grist beer, combined with grapefruit juice and monk fruit, create a natural citrusy soda flavor with the crisp foundation of an ale. Look for the Radler on tap and on the store shelf in 12oz cans across Wisconsin. Shipments are also going out to New York, Missouri, and Minnesota. Find the Radler in Lakefront’s New Grist Gluten-Free Variety 12-pack alongside their New Grist IPA and original New Grist Pilsner.
