Gluten free beers are becoming more available and more delicious by the day.
With plenty of craft breweries popping up and new beer subscription box services, the issue is no longer trying to find a gluten free beer, but instead, trying to find the perfect one for your palette.
Gluten free beer is brewed mainly from cereals such as rice, buckwheat, corn, sorghum, and millet, all of which don’t contain any gluten.
Others are made with rye or barley but the gluten levels are reduced to under 20 ppm (parts per million).
Today, beer is considered gluten free if it contains less than 20 ppm gluten. This is mainly common in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. However, for a beer to be gluten free in Australia, it has to have zero particles of detectable gluten. So keep that in mind when drinking gluten free beer around the world.
Although most gluten free beers are typically safe to drink for almost all drinkers, including those with severed gluten allergies, sensitivities, or Celiac Disease, there are a few that should be avoided, such as Omission. (It remains on this list because people on a non-medical or health-related gluten free diet can still drink it.)
But other than that, most gluten free beers are perfect for anyone on a gluten free diet.
So, with that being said, let’s jump straight into the gluten free beer listing!

Gluten Free Beer FAQS
Here are a few answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about gluten free beer. Hopefully, this helps!
What is gluten free beer made from?
Generally, gluten free beer is made from millet, rice, sorghum, buckwheat, and corn, all of which are ingredients that don’t contain gluten. This as a result, doesn’t trigger an autoimmune response in people with Celiac disease.
Some breweries will still brew with barley or rye but reduce the levels of gluten to below 20 ppm.
What’s the gluten free standard?
In the United States (and most countries), a beer is considered gluten free if the gluten level is under 20 ppm (parts per million.)
To place a “gluten free” label on your beer, it must be under 20 ppm, the FDA approval rating.
However, some people still tend to feel sick after drinking beer that have been distilled. So be sure to drink at your own risk.
What gluten free beer can I find at most restaurants (mainly restaurant chains)?
Generally, in the United States, you’ll find Redbridge gluten free beer.
Is gluten free beer more expensive?
Generally speaking, most gluten free beers are considered craft beers, thus placing a premium of around $1.50-$2.00 on their prices.
What’s the best tasting gluten free beer?
Glutenberg tends to be a favorite (according to Redditers)
Are there any healthy gluten free beers?
Tough question. Beer (or alcohol in general) isn’t healthy – besides red wine of course. However, there tends to be a lot of hidden ingredients in beer that are really bad for you. However, this is normally found in mainstream beer. Once you start drinking craft beers (including gluten free beers) you’ll tend to find more organic and GMO free ingredients. According to Greenfield Fitness, Omission is possibly the healthiest option out there.
Is Redd’s Apple Ale safe to drink?
Although from the outside this drink may seem like a hard cider, it’s actually a normal ale with apple flavoring. So be sure to avoid this at all costs.
Are there any beers that are technically gluten free but not certified?
Yes. One brand in the United States that claims to have gluten free beers (although not certified yet) is a small brewery called Rickoli.
Is Corona, Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller, Dos Equis, Shock Top, or Samuel Adams gluten free?
No, these beer are not. However, you can find gluten free Coors Light called Coors Peak and a gluten free beer made by Anheuser Busch called Redbridge.

A correction: Epic is listed as gluten free. We took this sites word for it, but they are not. We tried a few of their canned items and did notice some discomfort (luckily not celiac.) We went to the brewery itself and they adamantly confirmed they are not gluten free or gluten reduced. They do make one beer that is GF: The Glutenator (they were out of it that day so we weren’t able to try for tasting notes)
Also an addition: Bootstrap, out of Longmont, CO – and distributed widely, at least in CO is gluten reduced to 10pp/million. Their website confirms the same. Highly recommended!
Shevek
Daura is gluten reduced, meaning they use enzymes to break down gluten into smaller molecules that aren’t detected. But the gluten is still there and not safe for celiacs.
Shevek
There definitely are 100% gluten free beer. They are brewed from grains other than barley, wheat, or rye. The gluten removed or reduced beers are not gluten free and are not suitable for people with celiac.
Cathi
my husband has celiac for 18 years since he was finally diagnosed and as long as the strip test is lower or exactly at 20ppm it’s okay. He is super sensitive and he can drink modelo and has for a year with no issues. however we have eaten at restaurants that have contaminated him and he was sick for 4 -5 days, hadn’t had a modelo just wine so it was clearly the food. get the test strips and use them. when he was first diagnosed the info said that hard alcohol was not gluten free but guess what the distillation process kills the gluten. also a pizza oven cannot cross contaminate at 600 degrees. it incinerates the gluten!
NoGlutenForMe
They use a enzyme that breaks the gluten down into smaller particles. The idea is that it makes the beer easier to digest. However there’s the same amount of gluten in the beer. With the particles being smaller it fakes out the test equipment. Some people (my son for example) can drink one gluten reduced beer, but he get’s sick if he drinks two.
NoGlutenForMe
There is no 100% gluten free beer. The Celiac Foundation states gluten free beer has to be under 20ppm of gluten. Evasion Brewing in Oregon is a dedicated gluten free brewery. And they use no sorghum in their beer. Check out their website, they ship customers in multiple states.
michael soberanes
Alpine Beer Co. Makes all their beers GR, so does Mike Hess Brewing.
Terry V. Thiele
I eat Glutten Free oatmeal daily with no issues. Before i knew i had glutten issues i drank an oatmeal beer, even had a few floaters in the bottle. Fantastic dark German style beer. I don’t like IPAs or Pale Ales. Why is no one using oats to brew? Would love an amber bock glutten free beer. Just started visiting Total Wine going through their selection of beer i may appreciate. So far, their okay, not found one i loved.
keiferh20
Divine Science Brewing has a GF IPA available all over California.
Rudy
Is Modello Gluten Free?
Kurt
Geary Brewing Co. in Portland ME makes a great gluten free beer called Ixnay (gluten removed)
Anonymous
I’ve got significant gluten issues and have bit had any trouble with Corona or Corona Lt
Anonymous
I am looking for a beer that is 100% gluten free does anyone know of any?
Daniel
what about Spaten Octoberfest?
Michael
I’m trying to find a beer like corona any suggestions?
sonia Davidson-Joseph
I’m confused, I drink Damm Daura, it says it’s 3 ppm, which seems considerably less than under 20 poms, please explain if possible. I’m looking for a gluten free, low carb beer, any suggestions?
NoGlutenForMe
Try Evasion Brewing, they are a dedicated gluten free brewery and use no sorghum.
Sybil
I’m curious about why you say Corona does not qualify for your list, but Omission does. Both are brewed with barley, and both have less than 20 ppm. What gives?
john
I thought Corona and Corona light have less than 20 ppm. Am I mistaken?
Linda Wenglikowski
I found a link saying Corona contains less than 20 ppm of gluten.
Maggie G
Thank you for sharing this. What is your opinion of New Belgium’s Glutiny line? Are there any issues with it like there are with Omission?
I used to be able to buy Brunehaut Bio-Blonde where I live in Ohio but I can’t find it anywhere. I search for it now wherever I travel but it seems like it’s getting harder to find. It is my absolute favorite! Tastes excellent! I wonder if any fellow readers can find it and where/what state? (The Brunehaut website doesn’t provide much info and links to vendors which include some broken links.)
Linda Wenglikowski
New Belgium’s Glutiny is only a GLUTEN REDUCED BEER, so it’s not safe for most of us to drink. The following was copied directly from their web site:
“Lucky for us there is another way to produce gluten-reduced beer made with grains that contain gluten. This method involves the use of an enzyme – a protein with a specific function – that breaks down gluten into smaller fragments. We add this enzyme in the brewing process and analyze the finished beer in the lab using the industry-supported R5 Competitive ELISA method. This creates a beer with all of the barley malt-derived flavor without all the gluten.”
As for Brunehaut Gluten free beers, their web site doesn’t contain ingredient listing.
Even if a beer is certified gluten free, if the beer contains quinoa and you react to quinoa then you shouldn’t drink that beer. To me as someone who does and has Celiac’s it is a no brainer, just look for a different Beer.
NoGlutenForMe
Evasion Brewing ships to Ohio residents. They are a dedicated gluten free brewery and there’s no sorghum in their beer. Sorghum gives beer the off flavor
Kim
I don’t see Delicious by Stone Brewing – it’s my favorite but still a little hard to find.
Linda Wenglikowski
Many of the Glutenberg beers varieties contain quinoa, so those with Celiac Disease should be careful in case experience auto-immune response to quinoa, as the protein is similar to gliadin aka Gluten Proteins in wheat, rye, barley, and malt.
Background:
Some stories are coming out that say Quinoa isn’t safe for those with Celiac’s Disease or Gluten Sensitivities to eat. https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/is-quinoa-a-safe-gluten-free-food-alternative/.
Another article: https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/is-quinoa-a-safe-gluten-free-food-alternative/.
Also articles saying Maize and some types of Quinoa and Oats have proteins similar to gliadin and cause an auto-immune reaction.
There have also been stories that suggest that over 85% of Quinoa grown in the US are being genetically modified and crossed with Wheat.
I’m not sure what to believe, however since I’ve had reactions to a few different quinoa products including those that are labeled a 100% Organic and certified gluten free, I’m going to discontinue eating Quinoa.
Sarah
Just found out that Coors Peak is being discontinued. Was only tested in Seattle and Portland. Very poor planning on Coors/Miller.
Sarah
You also missed a very good GF brewery here in Madison WI. Excellent beer! Alt Brewery
Charlie
The problem with labeling “Gluten Reduced” beers such as Omission as Gluten-Free is that ELISA testing has not ben found accurate for these beers & other alcoholic beverages. In some articles that I have seen, in Omission there is still gluten in a modified (bent) form.
Whether or not that will cause problems for Celiacs is up for question. There is an active group on facebook called something like I got sick drinking Omission beer, or I got sick drinking gluten reduced or removed beer. I hate that, because I love Daura, and it’s a gluten-reduced or removed beer.
Lance
Great list, thanks!! I got sick drinking omission, but I can drink corona, Heineken , and colors light which are all below 20ppm gluten but not certified as gluten free.
Karen
There is also Dogfish Head Tweasonale gluten free beer.
Amanda
What about woodchuck & angry orchard? They say gluten free on the bottle
Adam Bryan
Hi Amanda,
I just didn’t include them on this list since they’re ciders and not technically beers, but they are both great gluten free options!
Suzanne
Why is omission not ok?
Adam Bryan
Hi Suzzanne,
It’s tough to explain but here’s a really good explanation:
http://celiaccommunity.org/2013/confusion-over-omission-beer/
Hopefully this helps!
Tina
No mention of Ghostfish beer? They have an amazing brewery in Seattle with many varieties. All their beers are gluten free. They have not been around for long, but definitely worth checking out.
Adam Bryan
Thanks for the recommendation Tina! I went ahead and added them to the list.
Cheers!
Myke
Can’t believe Carona isn’t mentioned on the list. Then again I never see it on any ones list. CARONA IS GLUTEN REE
