    Celiac.com 12/02/2016 - Plenty of folks commenting on our story about Žatecky Pivovar, a storied Czech brewery that crafts gluten-free beers, thought the beer sounded like a good idea.

    The fans include the folks at beer giant Carlsberg, which has announced that Carlsberg UK is teaming up with premier Czech brewer Žatecky Pivovar to offer gluten-free Czech lager Celia in the UK.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
    The Carlsberg UK is introducing Celia Organic, a 4.5% ABV beer made with 100% Saaz hops and Moravian malt, and Celia Dark, a 5.7% ABV dark lager made with 100% Saaz hops and Toffee Bavarian malt plus sand-filtered water from the Žatecky foothills. The beers are produced at Žatecky Pivovar, which dates from 1801, and is housed walled town of Žateck in the north of the country. It is one of several microbreweries co-owned by the Carlsberg Group around the world.

    Both beers are brewed using a patented de-glutenization process while a silicon filtration technique means the brews are also suitable for vegans. A natural carbonation process gives the beers a light mouth feel with a full, rich taste you’d expect from a premium Czech beer.

    Interestingly, for Carlsberg UK, the gluten-free aspect of Celia beers seems to be an added feature, rather than a primary one. Says Liam Newton, Carlsberg UK’s vice president for marketing, the fact that Celia beers "are brewed to be gluten-free gives the brand an added point of difference – particularly relevant given current consumer trends, which is why we are delighted that Celia will be joining our beer portfolio."

    Newton adds that "Celia Organic and Celia Dark are quality Czech beers, loved by beer drinkers for their exceptional flavor and ability to perfectly complement good food."

    Celia will join Carlsberg UK’s existing premium portfolio, which includes the Backyard Brewery range imported from Sweden, Carlsberg’s Herefordshire craft cider Bad Apple, Belgian Abbey beer Grimbergen and Spanish beer Mahou.

    Celiac.com 06/05/2020 (Updated. originally published 02/20/2015) - There's a lot of confusion about which alcoholic beverages are gluten-free, and safe for people with celiac disease. Here's Celiac.com's latest list of gluten-free, gluten-safe beer, wine and alcohol.
    Gluten-Free Beer
    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.

    Celiac.com 06/17/2016 - What role does individual sensitivity play in celiac disease severity and reactions to gluten?
    Researchers in Italy reported on an interesting case of a of a man with a clear diagnosis of celiac disease who nevertheless drank gluten-containing beer, with no physical symptoms, and no clinical issues.
    The research team included Fabiana Zingone, Ilaria Russo, Angelo Massari, and Carolina Ciacci. They are variously affiliated with the Department of Medicine and Surgery, and the Department of Clinical Pathology and Transfusion Medicine at AOU San Giovanni di Dio e Ruggi D'Aragona in Salerno, Italy.
    The team found that a 4-week period of drinking gluten-containing beer did not provoke significant changes in the intestinal mucosa of this patient with celiac...

    Celiac.com 07/15/2016 - Germans are particular about their beer. Since the 14th century, they have had a beer purity law, called Reinheitsgebot. That law says that beer must be made with wheat or barley, if it is to be called beer.
    That means that many gluten-free beers brewed without wheat or barley cannot be considered beer in Germany. Now, German brewers are using special "ultra-low" gluten Australian barley to brew the first gluten-free beer that conforms to the strict requirements of the law.
    The barley is called "Kebari" barley, and was developed by Csiro, an Australian government scientific research agency, which used conventional breeding to reduce the gluten levels to 10,000 times less than regular barley, which more than meets the World Health Organisation's recommendation...

    Celiac.com 07/29/2016 - There's a great little story by Open Original Shared Link about his visit to the Zatec brewery in the Czech Republic. Officially known as Zatecky Pivovar, but called Zatec, the brewery offers both an interesting war history, and a great dark beer that just happens to be gluten-free.
    Zatec makes both their main brand, the light 11° pilsner, and another brand called Celia Dark. The company used to make a dark beer called Xantho, but now sells only Celia Dark as their main dark beer because, says Martin Kec, managing director, "no one can tell the difference."
    Most gluten-free beers are made with non-barley grains, such as sorghum, which is naturally gluten-free. The problem is that many of these beverages cannot be considered beer under German law, and many ...

    Celiac.com 09/16/2019 - Here are some of the most common questions we get about gluten-free alcoholic beverages.
    Gluten-Free Distilled Alcohols
    Unless gluten is added after distillation, all distilled alcohols are free of gluten. However, under US labeling law, beverages made from ingredients containing wheat, rye, or barley, cannot be labeled or advertised as 'gluten-free.'So, when you do see a 'gluten-free' label on a distilled beverage, it means that no gluten ingredients have been used at any point in the production process. You'll find an extensive list of gluten-free alcohol, booze and liquor here.
    Gluten Sensitivity Can Vary
    Many people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity can tolerate whiskey, gin and other liquor distilled from grains, but...
