Stone Delicious IPA is "virtually"" gluten free (i.e., it contains trace amounts, but below measurable thresholds) and it tastes good, so that might be a good option if he's not dangerously Celiac (people often confuse sensitivities with allergies so it is tough to tell).  Alchemist makes one that is supposed to be very good, but like the rest of their products you can't them in CT.

I do not have a gluten allergy but beer hasn't sat well with me for a while; and I have another friend with a similar issue.  Although we both liked Stone Delicious, we've both kind of lost our intense desire for beers and have shifted almost entirely to hard ciders as a substitute (still drinking wine and booze, t00).  Can't say enough about the cider explosion in the last few years.  I'd try a few of those; you may even find that you like them yourself.  They run the full spectrum from dry to sweet, and all points in between.  Lots of hoppy ones; traditional ones made with ale yeast; Normandy style made with Champagne yeast; and Belgian styles made with Belgian yeast.  Pairs well with food, too.
