I am new to this gluten free thing. I have gluten intolerance and shopping hasnt been too difficult there's a lot of info on companies websites and the internet but I cant seem to find anything on the soda brand "Natural Brew". I got their cream soda and ginger ale. I looked it up but nothing shows up on any "safe" lists I even looked on their site natural-brew.com and nothing about Gluten or Wheat.

I don't see specific info about gluten content or allergens on their site, so the safest bet might be to call or email them. Be sure to share the results with us.

I did see here:

where they claim not use any additives or preservatives, and it does look gluten-free:

The Draft Root Beer is made from a complex recipe that combines vanilla, anise, sarsaparilla, licorice root, birch, and a proprietary blend of other flavors.

The slow-brewed Outrageous Ginger Ale is made from premium ginger root for a crisp bite and is combined with ginger flavor for a complex, robust flavor. Each small batch is produced to exacting specifications for consistent quality and flavor.

The Vanilla Creme Soda is a delicious, creamy treat made with bourbon vanilla extract, which offers an unmatched, rich flavor. The high quality vanilla beans we use are boiled and pressed into vanilla - a vanilla you are sure to remember.

I would not think something like that would contain gluten just by the nature of what it is. Gluten isn't listed in the ingredients and I can't imagine any getting in there from cross contamination in handling or processing.

I was wondering because it lists "bourbon vanilla" and i wasnt sure what that was.  I appreciate your expertise. thank you.

Bourbon is distilled and is considered gluten-free (I know there are some who still avoid it), but the amount that would be used in the product is likely very small, and again, bourbon is now considered by to be gluten-free no matter what it's made from:
