A List of Non-Gluten-Free Beers

Celiac.com 09/01/2021 - Wondering what beers are NOT gluten-free and unsafe for people with celiac disease?

We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about beers. Specifically, what beers are NOT gluten-free and unsafe for people with celiac disease? The short answer is that nearly every commercially available beer on the market is made with barley, which contains gluten, so unless special enzymes and filtering are used during the brewing process to render them gluten-free, would not be gluten-free.

We've written about gluten-free and gluten-removed beers. We've also written about individual non-gluten-free beers, such as Budweiser, but here's an attempt too list as many non-gluten-free beers as possible. Consult wikipedia for a more complete list of traditional beers.
