Some of our beers are gluten free.
There are two ways of brewing gluten free beer. We’ve chosen to stick with our original tried and tested recipes and add an enzyme at the start of the fermentation process to break down the gluten protein.
The legal requirement in the UK in order to be labelled gluten free is <20ppm and our gluten free beers are tested in a laboratory in accordance with the requirements. The method used is gliadin testing which is UKAS accredited for beer. You’ll still see Barley, Wheat and Oats listed in bold as allergens on our labels. The beer is legally gluten free because the added enzyme has broken down the gluten protein by at least the required amount. Our gluten free beers are clearly labelled.
