Stone's Delicious is quite gluten reduced, almost to the point of being gluten free. Or if you can get Glutenberg. Otherwise, check local breweries and see if they have any one offs.

Glutenberg is a Canadian gluten free brewery that is also in the US. They have an IPA that’s pretty good along with a pale ale I find very drinkable.

Cider. Gluten free beer is usually terrible. There are a lot of great ciders out and about.

Be careful with gluten free beer. If you want to go that route, buy one that is brewed without gluten. Ones like Omission are brewed to remove gluten. This means that it meets the standards to be ‘gluten free’ but can still cause problems for a Celiac. Good luck!

Omission and Holidaily are great choices.

By kid has celiac, so if making beer battered fish or beer brats, I use GF beer. I'll grab whatever sounds good, and usually end up drinking one or whatever.

At the grocery store one day they had N/A GF beer from "Go Brewing " on clearance, so I grabbed a couple packs. It was "Freedom" I think... A California pale ale. It was pretty tasty to me.

Athletic Brewing has one. Not sure if it's available where you are. I think it's good but caveat, I never drank gluten full beer, so i don't know what I'm comparing it to.  

Every time I go to Whole Foods and see the alcohol free section, I think this same thing!! I've wondered if I got the local GF brew and "cooked" out the alcohol if that would "work" or just be so gross. But then I remember it (GF beer) makes my histamine response go totally nuts so it's best to just not. But I want it! I am not alcohol free but I really enjoy alcohol free things.

Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions 😀

If UK based, there's a GF filter on Dry Drinker

There isn’t good GF beer really

The yellow can of glutenburg is pretty decent. Got it up here in canada. Flavour is similar to a corona or Heineken

I saw an advertisement for Latina GF beer. It’s supposedly like Dos Equis. I looked for it at Bev Mo but they didn’t have it. Redbridge makes a tasty beer that reminds me of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

Ghostfish in Seattle is the BEST I've had. Glutinivores like it too.

My favorite company is Burning Brothers, based in St. Paul MN (it may not be available where you live). They use sorghum instead of rice. Also, Id stay away from Omission because they "remove the gluten" but it's not always guaranteed its all gone (I got really sick from it once).

EDIT: I enjoy the Pryo IPA and the Midway Lager. You may be able to find them from their website https://www.burnbrosbrew.com/

Glutenburg Stout

If anyone says Corona is GF, it's 100% BS. It has gluten in it.

I’m rather fond of Ghostfish, but I live about 8 minutes from it. They do ship.

Holidaily!! I specifically love the Fat Randy's IPA and the stout

Groundbreaker is by far the best GF beer! My DH can have gluten and he really likes it for beer, not just GF beer.

Consider checking out Zero Tolerance Gluten Free Homebrew club on Facebook..

Also, depending on where you live there’s some good GF craft breweries (Ghostfish, Ground Breaker, Hollidaily)...

This beer is some of the best/realest tasting GF beer. My beer snob, gluten eating boyfriend loves it too!

I’ve been a craft beer nerd for years, but started working at a brewery a year ago. 3 months ago I found out I couldn’t have gluten, so I’ve mostly been nursing ciders, but I literally DREAM about drinking beer �� We’ve carried Green’s for a while, but I’ve only tried their dubbel, which I find tastes weird and sour. We got their tripel in today and I’m a sucker for the style, so I had to try. Tastes like the real thing ��

Wine is fine. Most North American barrels are metal, so no wheat glue paste. Beer is not, unless you get a certified GF beer. Try European-style ciders, as they’re all GF and will hit the same feeling as beer in a cold glass. Vodkas are safe, as as are most gins (only ever seen 1 that had wheat derived botanicals added after distillation). Many liqueurs are also traditionally GF, but check their websites for ingredients on newer drinks.

Beer is unsafe across the board unless it has the certification. I prefer a brand called Glutenberg that offers 4pks of tall cans.

Most people believe that hard liquor is safe. I've never had a reaction from non wheat liquors like Gin or Vodka. I've never liked whiskey or rum enough to try.

Spirits are safe. Even the ones made with ingredients containing gluten (like whiskey) are still safe to consume, as the distilling process successfully removes all the gluten from them.

Titos, high noon, Surfside (non carbonated!), white claw, blanco tequila, some walmarts have a non carbonated lemonade and tea thats in a black box thats great too. Sorry, cant remember the name of it.

try not to get caught up in all the fuss. wine is safe, liquor (UNFLAVORED) is safe, white claws/high noons are safe

Stone Delicious is Gluten Reduced, basically gluten free, and it’s really good. I have friends who have celiac and they can tolerate it.

I might get some shit for these but Redbridge and Omission aren't too bad

Maybe want to give ciders a look. They tend to be naturally vegan & gluten free. Thats what worked for my wife.

Ghostfish is pretty solid! All their beers are gluten free, and they make the full spectrum of styles. They're based out of Washington state, so you can hopefully find them where you are.

There's also always taking up cider drinking as an option, but I know that's not what you're wanting to hear.

Lakefront Brewing makes excellent gluten free beers, like their New Grist.

industrially produced macro brands maybe, but there is a whole world of lighter, more wine-like and/or sour beer-like ciders out there.

I stopped drinking gluten free beer because of an issue - I gave up on finding a decent tasting beer. Weed is gluten free, and legal where I live, so I’ve moved on from the search for decent gluten free beer. But I’m happy for anyone who found what they like with no issues

Check the ingredients. You can get beers that are made from non-gluten grains, such as buckwheat, millet, amaranth, rice, etc.

What you want to avoid is "crafted to remove" beers. Those would be the ones you are worried about. If you don't want to experiment with CtR, don't. Daura would be one example, at about 6ppm

Forager's Lager is a good Canadian recommendation.

Best gluten free beers might be a good source material for you if you do wish to find a suitable one.

Redbridge or New Grist are fine. The Belgian one Greens is excellent. “Gluten reduced” or “removed” make me ill. Your mileage may vary. Or stick to wine.

As long as it says gluten free it's normally fine

If you can find it near you I would recommend you just get a naturally gluten free beer (i.e. made from gf grains like sorghum, millet, corn, etc). Redbridge is a pretty ubiquitous one (and pretty good imo) or depending where you live you may have more specialty options too

This is not celiac safe! I tried a few sips once and got extremely sick from it. None of my celiac friends can safely drink it. Beware!

As said before, Green’s is good. If you can find it, Ghostfish is very good as well. Based in Seattle, all GF. If you happen to be there, all their food is GF as well. The onion rings were amazeballs, I hadn’t had any for the previous 3 years after my diagnosis when I visited last year. I’m also a major beer lover so I feel her pain.

I really like the vibe at Orange Bike and their connection with Bite into Maine next door for gluten free food options. Strictly talking beer though, I give the edge to Lucky Pigeon. Love that a few options are being exported to MA, but had an incredible session IPA and double IPA at the brewery. It Came from the Haze from Ghostfish gets me close to the NE IPAs I used to love. Glad there are some good options out there.

It's gluten reduced. It doesn't says gluten free on it because legally they can't. Sometimes even if you're usually symptomatic you can just not have a reaction randomly. It does happen, but this is definitely not celiac safe.

Yeah gluten removed, be careful. Keep an eye out for Green’s. It’s excellent but hard to find where I am.

>Disclaimer: it’s made like normal beer and then crafted to where it has no more than 3ppm in any bottle

You may notice that on the bottle, under that "crafted to remove gluten" it has a warning that the gluten content cannot be verified.

They are using an enzyme* that breaks the gluten down into smaller parts, which lowers the amount detected on the common ELISA tests used for gluten testing, but other testing methods have shown that there is still gluten in enzyme-treated beers, and that it can trigger an immune response in people with celiac.

On the other hand, there are truly gluten free beers out there, that are made from naturally gluten free ingredients.

*The enzyme they are using is one that was already in use in the brewing industry as a clarifying agent; brewers clarex/clarity ferm.
