Corona, Pacifico, and other gluten free beers

[JosephK116]

So a friend of mine just gave me some great information on Corona and Pacifico. Apparently they are both naturally gluten free below 20 ppm. This is good news for me since I’ve been struggling to eliminate beer. Does anyone know any other beers that are “naturally” gluten free? 

There’s been some talk of Dos Equis being gluten-free. Can anyone confirm or deny this one?

They are not, Pacifico and Corona have gluten, you have been lied to. There are gluten free beers made from non gluten grains though.  I use cider alternatives in my house for guest and cooking.

Beer can not be tested accurately due to the nature of production and the elsia testing method.

If you check the sites for those you listed they contain malted barley and even state they contain gluten.
Few alternatives I trust and keep around

Proof that Pacifico is gluten free.

Not really proof.  The tests are not meant for beer or barley, so its not really legit.

I don't have time to look the explanation up for you right now.  The chocolate chip cookies just came out of the oven....

 

do what  you want,  you can find a way to justify drinking beer.  If you are lucky, it really is gluten-free.  We just don't know for sure.  It's like a guy peeing on a pregnancy test  and it says " negative" and assuming it means he doesn't have an std. He used the wrong test!

I would strongly refrain from getting accurate celiac-related information from a blogger.   This just came out this year and references medical studies.

Gluten-removed beer is not considered safe by leading celiac researchers.

Proof of Bull SH*T

"What are the main ingredients in Pacifico?

Pacifico contains Filtered Water, Yeast, Malted Barley, Corn, and Hops."

 

"

Does Pacifico contain gluten?

There isn't an accepted methodology for testing gluten content in fermented beverages, so we cannot provide an accurate amount of gluten in our beers. There are traces of gluten in all our beers. We recommend that you consult your physician regarding consumption

Cookies were great.  

Just a quick link and a thought - the ATF part of the government that governs beer will not allow beer brewed with gluten grains to call the  beer gluten free  because there is  no scientifically accepted way to measure gluten in beer.  You can look that up or contact them.

I wanted to add some thing to my last post. I get head aches from these beer's. I have not been tested yet. I also need to see if I'm allergic to alcohol, wheat and/or gluten.

Honestly I don't eat or drink food that is labeled under 20ppm. To me, that just means there's gluten in it, but not as much as other things, and I get that some people don't get a reaction from consuming under 20ppm foods, but it doesn't mean they don't put gluten inside their bodies. 

I stick to 100% gluten free, Regarding beer specifically I've read on some sites like this https://glutenfreeheroes.com about many types of beer and if or if not it has gluten, I also found many other sites doing the same which is cool to see as people like us need all the info they can gather I guess.

Welcome to the forum. I think your perpetuating a misconception here. A food labeled "gluten-free" and is therefore under 20ppm definitely does not mean that a food contains any gluten. They do not fortify the foods up to a certain level of gluten. In fact, if any food company with a gluten-free label discovers gluten at any level between 0-20ppm it would be cause for concern, and they would likely try to track down its source, so that they don't end up with a batch that goes over this level, which could trigger a very expensive food recall.
