With the rise of gluten intolerance and celiac disease worldwide, beer masters and craft brewers around the world have decided the beer industry needs to produce delicious and tasty gluten free beer options.

Below, you’ll find 12 of the most deliciously refreshing gluten free beers and hard ciders that actually taste pretty good.
1. Bard’s
AÂ sorghum-based craft beer that’s made with no wheat, barley, oats, or rye.
2. Dogfish Tweason’s Ale

3. Magner’s

A pale ale and crisp lager made with Citra hops for just a little touch of tropical complexity.
