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.

Blueberry wonderful
We are great lovers of vinegar and yours is the best! Keep up the divine work.
This is, undoubtedly, a superior sherry vinegar. The acid is high and somewhat bracing but it makes the mouth salivate without any puckering harshness. The vinegar has a very pleasing, nutty finish. I love this stuff!
Great product, great service. This is a fantastic vinegar! I mostly just drink it straight (a shot every morning for my gut), but also use it in recipes. The recipe AVW provided for the New England Sports Drink is also good! It's a bit milder so I can get the fam to try it that way! Highly recommended.
We've been making great vinaigrettes from AVW for months but I was eager to try this vinegar in addition. It did not disappoint -- very nice flavor and a bit of a kick. This will be a staple in our kitchen.
I received my first bottle as a gift from a friend. He suggested I sip it first to really get the jist. This is a superior vinegar. So tasty and well rounded and great to finish recipes. My 9 year old mow asks for occasional sips... straight vinegar !!
Excellent product ! Well done🙏
There vinegars are crisp, clean and the perfect amount of acidity. I particularly like the Red Wine Vinegar with a mild olive oil on salads and refrigerator pickles.
