Our beer vinegars, or beer malt vinegars, are made using New England craft beers. Each vinegar has its own taste profile that reflects the flavor of the beer that was used. Both beer vinegars are aged in old rye whiskey barrels after fermentation.
Beer vinegar is simply vinegar that is made from beer. Like any other traditional vinegar the flavor of the vinegar is guided by the quality and variety of alcohol used. In this way you can have multiple varieties of beer vinegars just as you have multiple varieties of beers at your local pub.
What is the difference between malt vinegar and beer vinegar?
They are related. All traditional vinegars start with sugars that are fermented into alcohol and then fermented again into acetic acid or, by another name, vinegar.
Malt vinegar is made from alcohol that is created specifically to make vinegar—it was never meant to be enjoyed or drunk on its own and, as such, it is our opinion that it generally produces a less flavorful vinegar.
Beer malt vinegars on the other hand are made from beers that were always meant to be enjoyed as beer. By picking the best beers we can make the best beer vinegars or beer malt vinegars.
What are the uses for malt vinegar or beer malt vinegars?
French fries with malt vinegar is likely the first use many people have for malt beer vinegars. There are numerous other uses you should consider including dousing on fried fish, finishing stews, seasoning roasted cruciferous vegetables, or for adding brightness to sauces.
Is beer vinegar gluten free?
No. Beer vinegar is made from beer and beers generally do have gluten. Beer vinegar is not appropriate for anyone who has a gluten or wheat allergy.
Other vinegars like cider, rice, or wine vinegar generally do not have gluten but you should always check the ingredients if you have gluten or other allergy concerns.

Not only are the vinegars delicious and so beautifully packaged but the customer service is impeccable. My first order had a leak (not American Vinegar's fault) and I submitted an email. Not only did the owner of the company respond the very same day, but he made sure to send another order immediately so I could get this in time to gift it timely. He responds so promptly and kindly--wonderful. I will continue to support this incredible business.
We have enjoyed several different vinegar flavors from American Vinegar, but Red Wine is my go-to for so much. The sharp acid is perfect in salad dressings and marinades as well. They are also perfect for gifting , which we have also done. Customer service is fantastic. You won’t be disappointed with any purchases you make.
Growing up Italian vinegar and oil was the only salad dressing. We even would mix it up with olive oil, garlic, Oregano, salt and pepper as a “Sicilian cocktail”. Weird I know. Good product. Like the 5% acidity but an option of 6% would be nice too.
Wonderful, well-rounded and full flavored. For so many years, I've been frustrated by store bolt vinegars. Never again! Thanks you for improving my dressings, sauces, marinades, and condiments!
I love the vinegars. They are a great addition to my cooking repertoire. It's like using wine for seasoning while cooking. I love the bottles. It all looks as if a lot of craftsmanship was employed. Great job.
When I ran out of this, I bought the one I used to use from the grocery store and what a huge difference. This one is far superior. I've used it for salad dressings and in my morning ginger, lemon, apple cider vinegar drink.
