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.

Vinegar revalations!
I've tried all of AVW's vinegars, and every one of them is extraordinary. There is a subtlety and depth of flavor that you just don't find in other vinegars. The Pink Pacific Rose Wine Vinegar is soft and gently, the Hot Vinegar is the opposite, strong and assertive. My favorite is their Tarragon Vinegar, which is perfectly balanced. Their Red Wine Vinegar has become my go to vinegar for all my dressings. Just great products, worth every penny!
Like vinegar is supposed to taste…mildly acidic, you can taste the wine/cider/malt it began from, and the slight funk of natural vinegar. Awesome stuff!!!
I bought this as a gift. For a fellow New Englander misplaced here in the midwest. And a vinegar lover! I can not wait to see the smile on her face when she opens!
I am so glad I found this company. I love to cook and have been using these excellent quality vinegars in salad dressings and cooked sauces. The flavor profiles are rich and complex. Vinegar used to be mostly an afterthought in my cooking and I used whatever looked viable on the grocery store shelf for what the recipe called for. No more. Yesterday I made a radish, cucumber and celery salad with an apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic, and dijon mustard dressing that I threw together. The quality of the vinegar made that dressing into something you would be served at a great restaurant. Homemade pickles coming up next... Get these, you absolutely won't be disappointed.
I've used Bragg's for a "morning wakeup" shrub. Tried the American Vinegar works ACV as an alternative and was pleasantly surprised by the apple flavor that came thru. Will be using it in future shrubs.
A light touch of maple - I was expecting more but then it wouldn't be natural. A heavier maple flavor would taste artificial. This has the right amount to make it intriguing.
I received the wild blueberry apple cider vinegar as a gift for Christmas and loved it so much that I ordered several other vinegars. They are all so good it is hard to pick a favorite. The 19.53 miles from the tree apple cider vinegar is an absolute treat. It’s great with vegetables. I am telling everyone about this!
These vinegars are wonderful. Each flavour has liveliness without giving a catch in your throat. The Apple Cider Hot Vinegar works especially well in Soups! Culinarily speaking, all these vinegars add life to the Party of Food!
