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 or malt 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 or malt 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 or malt vinegar gluten free?
No. Beer or malt 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.

My grandparents on Mom’s side are Hungarian so i grew up with vinegar. Granmda had me drink honey and vinegar with water every day for my health. Everything people put mayo or ketchup on we dressed with vinegar. I was thrilked to find American Vinegar Works and am over the moon at the quality of their products. I accidentally ordered four Maple cider Vinegar bottles and am glad i did! I can drink a tablespoon right fron the bottle. It is delicous and also tastes like the honey and vinegar i drank as a kid. Bonus: it curbs my appetite too. I will be a lifetime buyer! Thank you so much for believing in vinegar and producibg these delicous products!!!
what do you give a person for their birthday when you've exhausted your ideas? Well, turns out the mystery box was a hit. I love the vinegars and knew my friend uses vinegar in a lot in various applictaions. She even makes her own electrolyte drink with it! Bottles are cute, packaging is good! taste is great, even in cocktails! There you have it
Both my husband and stepson are terrific cooks, and they shout with glee when I give them American vinegars as gifts! I love it because we have really great new tasty meals. The mystery part is fine because unless you have something in front of you, you're not really going to try it, right? I appreciate the recipes too. I think you guys think of everything!
Delicious vinaigrette, check. Added a little something something to my potato and fennel soup, check. Can’t wait to try something new, your product is great.
This vinegar tastes absolutely delightful! It is a taste treat no matter how I use it. These days, I'm loving it over chopped tomatoes, onions and cucumbers with cottage cheese on top. Great lunch!!
These towels are wonderful! I always order more items than I need just to get a towel! But that's ok because all the vinegars and the olive oil are so very good.
This is my first tea towel! I saw them up in Quebec lately and have been curious. I guess folks historically have saved them to cover rising bread, or to work with delicate objects, or as decoration. I am very pleased to have yours -- it is all cotton and I am figuring out good uses for it. Sharon H (Buffalo, NY)
Oh, so this is what it is supposed to taste like! Outstanding quality, shipping, taste and packaging. This will elevate family dinners, to the next level. Highly recommend!
