Cider On Tap

[hammondtam]

Does anyone know if ALL cider beers are gluten free? How would you be able to tell at a bar especially if it is on tap? I just miss being able to have a beer at a bar with friends, and was thinking that would be a nice subtle way of having a beer with everyone!!!

Woodpecker Cider and Strongbow (it's from England) are gluten free.

Woodchuck cider is gluten free. I believe all flavors of Woodchuck are gluten free. I have seen it on tap in pubs, but I'm not sure that I would trust it. They are wiped down with the same rag used to wipe down the beer taps. Eek.

Cider is made from apples (fermented apple juice). It is gluten-free unless they do something REALLY weird. I've had cider on tap in several pubs and not had a problem, although Guhlia has a point about possible cross contamination.

If I'm not mistaken, I vaguely remember reading the label in grocery store for Hornsby's Hard Cider, and was sad to see that there was barley malt in it? I could be wrong.....I'll look again next time or search for website....I would love to drink a Hornsby's again.

This is so great! On vacation recently a buddy of mine asked if I could have cider on tap and I just said "when in doubt do without", but now I'm happy and I'm gonna try it!

All Woodchuck flavors are gluten-free - many bars have it in bottles - even if they don't have it on tap (avoids the CC issue!)

Even with it on tap, I've never had a problem.

Strongbow too!

Enjoy!

if it has barley malt, that would fit my definition of "really weird" Apple cider is supposed to be apples. WHY do these people have to add stuff where it doesn't belong? (rant over)

I bought a six pack of Hornsby's Hard Crisp Apple Cider and believe that it has gluten in it. I've had the usual symptoms. Has anyone contacted them?

Yup, quite a few ciders have barley malt in them. Cider is one of those products where you have to know which brand to get.
