Have you tested Corona Light?
ReplyDeleteNo one has.
DeleteSouth East Asian beers like beerlao, bintang, singha and Chang?
ReplyDeletePlease test singha and Chang!!
DeleteI went to a restuarant that called Beerlao Dark gluten reduced. I've been drinking Beerlao, both dark and light, ever since and had no issues. I'm not celiacs, but have a bad gluten allergy and, along with the author of this blog, def know what it feels like to be gluten-bombed.
DeleteI wish you would keep testing beers for all us gluten sensitive beer lovers. All your tests seem accurate based on my responses to the beers you have tested.
DeleteYes! Dan. Beer Lao is below 5PPM. They even sent me 2 of their lab results before I moved to Thailand. I can't figure out how to add .jpgs here but their import box used to say Gluten Free in the states, also.
DeleteWhich beer Lao is 5ppm? Dark or light or both?
DeleteI am a Celiac from Montreal and have grown tired of paying more then double for gluten-free beer that is often stale. I have been drinking Corona Extra since last week with no problems thanks to this blog. P.S. Corona tastes better in a glass bottle versus can. Swedish food agency also confirm the same for Corona.
ReplyDeleteI have been drinking Corona for years and have had no reaction. I am not Celiacs but have a severe reaction to gluten. I have had Modelo blonde, not the dark, and had no reaction either. It's so nice to be able to drink a widely available beer! Has anyone tried Dos Equis?
DeleteMore commercially available gluten reduced beers:

all beers brewed by Odd 13 in Layfayette,CO - http://www.odd13brewing.com/content/clarityferm.html
this is amazing!!!! you need to quit your job, print some t-shirts and do this full time
ReplyDeleteI think I am in love with this page
Consider trying Dos Equis Lager and/or Sol. I have gluten intolerant friends that swear these are low on the gluten spectrum.
ReplyDeleteI can tolerate Sol, but have had problems w Dos Equis, so be careful!!
DeleteWhat about Dos Equis Amber Especial?
DeleteMic Ultra??
ReplyDeleteI agree, this is also my new favorite site. Would love to know about a few Aussie beers such as Hahn superdry and carlton dry. Also the Mexican beer Sol would be good too. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThank you for this service. PLEASE test WI Capital Amber. I can send you $ for a few bottles, if that helps :_) It's one of the only beers that I enjoy and doesn't make me feel like shit. http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/capital-wisconsin-amber/852/ Omission is okay, too, but I'm curious how this one comes out in your testing.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see you try Yuengling, Smithwick's, and anything from Dogfish Head or Victory.
ReplyDeleteI second Yuengling. It's really ubiquitous here and I miss being able to have what everyone's having.
DeleteI'd love to see you try Yuengling, Smithwick's, and anything from Dogfish Head or Victory.
ReplyDeleteThx for this great service. I was a hard core lover of all beers until a dr suggested a try a gluten reduced diet. Now I am hard cider and gluten free beer and I feel so much better. AB RedBridge is my go to, grocery store beer now.
ReplyDeleteJust found this site and this is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI want to print out this list and give it to the beer stores here to let people know since they seem to know nothing about this.
Well done and keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for this site!!!! It is very helpful and I am glad someone is doing some kind of research! I get tired of paying a ton of money for gf beer that either does not taste like beer and is too expensive!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this site!!!! It is very helpful and I am glad someone is doing some kind of research! I get tired of paying a ton of money for gf beer that either does not taste like beer and is too expensive!
ReplyDeleteThis site gives me new hope!!! I was an avid beer drinker my whole life until I went gf 4 years ago...mixed drinks and Cider are just not my thing. I've tried multiple GF beers including Redbridge, Daura, New Planet, New Grist and Omission (which technically isn't gf). Although it gives the effect of drinking beer, they all still leave me....unsatisfied. I am very excited about the Corona research and reviews that I read on this site, also happy about Coors light as it is pretty inexpensive. I would love to see you test Sol or Michelob Ultra as they are 2 other old favorites of mine!! Thanks again for taking the time to research for all of us, it is much appreciated!
ReplyDeleteI second the request that you test Corona Light. I still have about 10 in my fridge and don't want them to go to waste! ;) I tried Omission yesterday, and it was awful. I'd be so flipping happy if I could just stick with my CL.
ReplyDeleteCorona light would have less gluten than Corona which is listed at less than 10ppm. I have been drinking it for a couple years now with no issues, even after a 12pk, lol. I do sometimes have issues with the Omission if I have more than a couple.
Deletebeen drinking Corona Light for years, bottle or can! GF for 15 years - thanks for this list - everyone has their own preference -
DeleteThanks so much for your work! Keep it up. Been GF for 2+ years and was getting pretty sick of sticking w/cider (and Omission when available). It was nice to drink some good ole sh*tty Coors Light last wkd! No effects.
ReplyDeleteNew Belgium is now making Glutiney - same process as Omission's. Both are tasty and hopefully will be added to your favorite watering hole's cooler.
ReplyDeleteJust tried glutiny, couldn't take a second swallow. Taste nothing like beer.
DeleteWhat would you think about testing Sam Adams and/or Shiner Bock soon? :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!!
ReplyDeleteFor me, 1 corona = a little icky next morning. 1 1/2 = vomiting :(
ReplyDeleteCan you please test dos equis lager!?!
ReplyDeleteKilkenny's or Caffrey's? Please please!
ReplyDeleteMy life changed after discovering that I can tolerate Dos Equis lager and Sol in May of this year. This was wonderful because none of the "gluten free" beers I tried were very good (with the exception of Green's). Back in the saddle my friends...
ReplyDeleteI see a ,CA for this blog my question is is the Coors light a Canadian product, I can tolerate American bud light but Canada has a different ingredient list I believe really appreciate your help and looking forward to a goto regular priced beer boxer beer here in Alberta is only 10 a six pack but poor quality
ReplyDeleteBOSTON BREWERY Paarden island cape town
ReplyDeleteGluten reduced beers under 10ppm
Can you test estrella jalisco
ReplyDeleteSamoa makes a beer from breadfruit and it is delicious. Too bad we can't get it here.
ReplyDeleteWOW! This site is amazing, so much info. Mahalo!!
ReplyDeleteI've been try to go GF free for 4 years now & it's been very difficult. I LOVE, My daily bottle of beer at night. Love the taste and enjoy every drop. But as I realize I awake in the morning with pain in my body. Pain in my hands and headaches are becoming more frequent. Chest pain and coughing everyday is becoming annoying. I am a 70 year old responsible drinker. One beer a night for taste, I enjoy so much. But with the pain becoming increasingly intense, I'm rethinking my nightly beer. As my husband & I have been doing more research on GF products he sent me your site. It's been a great help. I am also trying to go nightshade free. I'm a vegetarian also. Limited on so much. Now to take away one thing I really enjoy is painful in more ways than I can imagine. But possible to do.
Thank you again for all your research, appreciate it.
Mahalo
cerveza GROLSCH ?? saben cuanto tiene de gluten ?
ReplyDeleteWhat about Corona light. Should I assume that is under 20 ppm since corona extra is?
ReplyDeleteI love Red Bridge. It's made by Budweiser.
ReplyDeleteI am a Celiac, diagnosed in Fall of 2009. I have found that I have little to no reactions after drinking mexican beer. I started taste testing with Corona, in Mexico, in 2012, and looked at your research when I got back home. I have drank Modelo Negra, Dos Equis (both pale and amber), and a couple others from the Mexican Beer combination pack. I would be curious to see what the results of your testing of those beers would be.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to note, that I have tried bud light a few times with little or no reaction. However, the past week, on a vacation trip, I had 3-4 budlights per day, and have had some reactions pop up, that are suspicious of being caused by ingesting gluten. Since no foods are really being suspected, I am finding it is probably the beer. Looking at your research concerning the particular beer, I can see that my suspicions are probably correct.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteGreens make a fantastic gluten free beer, I have tried SOL and didn't notice any adverse effects, I think its because it uses barley instead of wheat as the main ingredient which has a lower gluten content usually.
ReplyDeleteI also recommend brewdog vagabond. Its really fruity and hoppy.
Please test Milwaukee's Best Light for those of us who are poor lol. We wish to be gf as well.
ReplyDeletetry Brewdog Vagabond- real beer, and they say that the remove gluten
ReplyDeleteBest I have tasted and no reaction. I cant tolerate >15ppm
Thanks for doing the work my friend
ReplyDeleteIts very helpful
Is asahi soukai 3.5 gf ?
Does anyone know if the Cuban beer Cristal is gf?
ReplyDeleteThe tests for gluten don't work for beer. That's why you'll see this notice on gluten reduced beers:
ReplyDelete"The gluten content of this beer cannot be verified, and this beer may contain gluten."
If that's true for gluten reduced beers, it's surely true for regular beers.
Currently there's no way to tell how much gluten is in a beer that was made from barley.
If you want to be safe, drink a great gluten free beer like Greens or New Grist.
I agree there are no home tests available that will accurately detect gluten fragments in beer. But I haven't tasted any GF beer that tastes like real beer. Mostly they are fruity or citrusy. So I occasionally (rarely) cheat with Sol or Miller Lite, by having just one (1). I have tried one gluten-reduced beer that I like - Omission Lager (the yellow label). I don't like the other Omissions. I believe that, although Omission is not GF, at least Omission is less than 20 ppm. Read the FAQ on their website.
ReplyDeleteAny chance to test them to under or over 3ppm? Where I live that's the limit for GF/non-GF.

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI have seen another site that also has pictures of results (though it looks like a different test than this) and has markedly different results. Does anyone know the accuracy of these tests? I see a comment in the thread that says gluten tests don't work for beer. Does anyone have any input on that?
Thanks!
