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.
Wasnt sure if it was hype, but took a chance and bought a four pack. Only tried the Red wine so far, but without asking, everybody at dinner commented on how great the dressing was. usually I put too much or too little vinegar, with this was able to get great flavor without too much bitterness. Will buy again.
I’m pretty much a red wine vinegar fanatic and this is the best I’ve ever tried.I’ll never buy another brand,the search for Red Wine Vinegar perfection has officially ended 🙏🏻🙏🏻
The olive oil is very good, I drink a shot glass straight every day.
Although I like the product, I think the packaging is over done. I get protecting the product, but it seems to take for ever to get it opened and unroll the mile of brown paper and then recycle it. What gets me is this comes from about 5 miles down the road and I can't just go somewhere to simply purchase it.
Finally, real vinegar again! I loved the sampler size to see which larger bottles I will purchase later. Every one was pungent and flavorful with no off tastes. Will definitely be ordering the full size bottles soon!
This was the first AVW vinegar I ever ordered. I love it . There is no other red wine vinegar that compares at all! Glad they made a larger bottle for it too!
I never used sherry vinegar much before but I have come to really enjoy it. As with all of American Vinegar works products it is clean and very flavorful.
Thanks for this guys!
As always, your vinegar is excellent. This one has a nice sharp taste which I prefer over milder vinegars. It’s very good for making traditional French dressing that my grandmother (who was French) used to make for the family. Thank you and keep it up! Nancy
I use vinegar frequently when cooking and salad dressings / vinaigrettes. I ordered these because I was intrigued by the German method used to make them.
They are by far the best vinegars I've ever used or tasted! Will be a regular customer. 🙂
I bought this companies vinegars to get more flavor into my salad dressings ( no store brands for us) we also make a slaw dressing without mayonnaise. They both are now more flavorful and great either way. We are in our 70’s and we are always finding ways to enhance good food. Mission accomplished
This is the best rice wine vinegar. I have a difficult time using grocery store bought rice wine vinegar now. The flavor pop from this vinegar is exceptional.
