Top 10 Gluten Free Beers

Going gluten-free doesn’t mean you have to give up having a few brews now and then. There are now more quality gluten-free beers on the market than ever! Here are ten worth cracking open.

 

1. Redbridge

This red lager is brewed by Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis using alternative gluten-free grain sorghum.

2. Harvester Fresh Hop IPA

Harvester is a unique brewery in Portland, Oregan that uses locally grown chestnuts, hops, oats and sorghum to make its gluten free beers. The IPA is piney and pungent, but other offerings include a chocolaty Dark Ale and a citrusy and nutty Pale Ale.

3. New Planet Tread Lightly

Brewed in Boulder, Colorado, this blonde ale is a flavorful and crisp cider/beer hybrid.

4. New Planet Beer’s Pale Ale

Crisp and hoppy, this gluten-free beer earns its place in the craft-brewed ales aisle.

Fans of Newcastle will love this brown ale made in Buffalow, New York. Ingredients include sorghum, yeast, hops and water for a bold flavor.

6. Dogfish Head Tweason’Ale

For those who prefer a fruity beer, this one incorporates sorghum, strawberries and honey. The fruitiness is balanced by mild hoppy tones, resulting in an interesting gluten-free sweet beer option.

7. Sprecher Brewing Co. Shakparo Ale

This West African-style ale was created using sorghum and millet for Milwaukee’s African World Festival, but it was so popular that the brewery made it a regular. It has a tangy, refreshing taste.

8. Brunehaut Ambree

This Belgian brewery has found a way to use barley in its ales and extract gluten after the fact. This amber ale is a tasty option for those with gluten allergies.

9. Brunehaut Bio Blonde

A well-balanced Tripel is a welcome addition to the gluten-free world. This is another option that is a great beer overall, but happens to be gluten-free.

10. Green’s Endeavor

Made with Belgian candi sugars and Belgian yeast, this rich and flavorful beer’s fan base expands beyond the gluten-intolerant: you’ll find many regular beer lovers enjoying it as well!
