Gluten-Free Beers & Alcohol
Updated August 18, 2020 (original 02/20/2015)
In the United States, products labeled Gluten-Free must not contain or be made from wheat, rye or barley. That means many beers cannot be labeled Gluten-Free. Beers made with Gluten-Free ingredients and are Gluten-Free and can be labeled Gluten-Free.
Gluten-Removed Beer
A number of beers are treated with enzymes to break down gluten. These beers are typically filtered to remove any stray proteins. Such beers can be labeled Gluten-Free in EU, but not in Canada or the US.

Gluten-Free Distilled Alcohols
Distillation removes gluten proteins from the final product, and starting 9/14/2020 distilled alcohols can be labeled "Gluten-Free" no matter their source. That means all distilled spirits are technically Gluten-Free. However, some people with Celiac Disease and gluten sensitivity have adverse reactions to spirits distilled from wheat, barley or rye. Many people with Celiac Disease have no problems at all with such spirits. The best advice is to trust your gut. Avoid eating or drinking things that upset your stomach. However, unless they have added gluten ingredients, such spirits do not contain gluten, and are safe to drink. If you tolerate them well, you can be comforted by the fact that they are likely just as safe as spirits made from Gluten-Free ingredients and labeled 'Gluten-Free."
Gin
Most gins are made with gluten-containing cereal grains. The final distilled product does not contain gluten, but cannot be advertised or labeled as Gluten-Free. Many people with Celiac Disease choose to avoid these beverages, while many others drink them with no adverse effects.

Additives Are Sometimes Used in Alcohols/Spirits
Certain spirits use chemical additives and preservatives such as glycerin to create a specific "mouth feel" and texture in an alcoholic beverage. Propylene glycol is used in foods and spirits, and although these ingredients are Gluten-Free, some people do have allergic reactions to them. Sulfites are often added to red wines, and many people are allergic to them.
