Some beers in this section are labelled gluten-free because testing shows they contain 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten or less, in line with current UK labelling rules. These beers are either brewed with naturally gluten-free ingredients or brewed with barley/wheat and then processed to reduce gluten to below 20 ppm.

However, research and coeliac charities note that a small number of people with coeliac disease or strong gluten sensitivity may still react to “gluten removed” beers made from barley or wheat, even when they meet the legal gluten-free threshold. Testing methods can also be less precise for fermented products like beer, so tiny traces of gluten or gluten fragments may still be present.

For this reason, products listed here may not be suitable for everyone with coeliac disease or medically diagnosed gluten-related conditions. If you are required to follow a strict gluten-free diet, please read labels carefully, follow medical/dietetic advice, and decide whether gluten-removed beers are appropriate for you.

We rely on information provided by breweries and legal labelling, but we cannot guarantee that any beer is completely free from trace gluten or will be tolerated by all individuals. Consumption is at your own discretion; if in doubt, choose beers made from naturally gluten-free grains only, or avoid beer altogether.
