GF Beer Has Come a Long Way
The GF beer scene in 2026 is unrecognizable from just a few years ago. Award-winning craft breweries are now making GF beers that rival traditional ones.
But first, an important distinction:
Gluten-Free vs. Gluten-Removed
Our recommendation for celiacs: Stick with truly gluten-free beers. The Celiac Disease Foundation does NOT endorse gluten-removed beers โ testing may show <20 ppm, but some gluten fragments may remain.
