You don’t have to give up brews if you’re watching your gluten intake, but be sure to pay attention to the label.

Hi Michael, There are some other decent gluten free beers out there as well. Anyone that is looking for gluten free beers can find reviews on the Gluten Free Beer Association website.

Look around on the web and you'll find that the safety of so-called "low-gluten" beers for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance is unknown. The treatment changes the form of the hordeins (the kind of gluten in barley), but does not remove them. Furthermore, it seems that there is no way to correlate the results of a test for gluten in barley-based beer with safety for celiacs or the gluten-intolerant.
