Gluten Free—Because Your Health Matters.

Back in 2015, we sent off some of our bottled beers for analysis to check gluten levels. To our surprise, most comfortably passed the "Gluten Free" guidelines of below 20ppm. Since then, we've committed to testing every batch of beer we produce. Beers that pass this strict threshold are proudly labeled gluten-free (<20ppm). Initially, we tested only bottled beers, but now we include every cask and keg, giving you the utmost confidence in what you’re drinking.

Our decision to test every batch reflects our belief in transparency and consumer choice. We want you to know exactly which beers are safe to enjoy, especially for those with coeliac disease. While some people may tolerate trace levels of gluten, others may not, and we believe you deserve the information to make that choice. Nearly all of our test results come in under 10ppm, well below the legal gluten-free limit of 20ppm.

Rest assured, nothing has changed in our brewing process—no flavor has been compromised. Our gluten is broken down during fermentation using a brewing enzyme, which not only denatures the gluten but also helps with clarity. It’s a win-win, maintaining the same great taste our beers have always had.

We value your feedback and are always open to discussing gluten and our brewing process. Please note, however, that all our beers are brewed with barley, and some recipes include wheat and oats, which means trace amounts of gluten may remain, even after denaturing. If you have been diagnosed with coeliac disease, you may want to explore beers made from non-gluten-containing ingredients (NGCI) like buckwheat or sorghum, which we currently do not offer.

Lastly, we encourage you to do your research. We are one of the few breweries in the UK that tests and declares gluten content for every batch of beer. While this isn’t required to claim gluten-free status, we believe in full transparency to avoid any confusion. So remember: Caveat Emptor—Let the buyer beware.

Your health and satisfaction remain our top priority.
