Craving Gluten-Free Beer? Check Out These 25+ Dedicated Gluten-Free Breweries in the U.S.

Love beer but can’t have gluten? You’ll love this great big list of dedicated gluten-free breweries in the U.S. The list gets bigger and bigger every year, and I update it as soon as I learn of a new brewery.

When you’re diagnosed with celiac disease or gluten intolerance, giving up gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley, can feel like a devastating blow.

Unfortunately, you’ll quickly learn that beer is made from fermented malted barley and other non-gluten-free grains. This means beer is off-limits when you can’t eat gluten. (Distilled alcohol made from gluten grains is okay to consume on a gluten-free diet, but fermented alcohol is not.)

25+ Dedicated Gluten-Free Beer Brands

If you miss beer, the good news is that there is a growing number of dedicated gluten-free breweries in the U.S., and they’re brewing craft beer from gluten-free grains such as rice, corn, millet, and buckwheat.

Below is a growing list of 25+ U.S.-based gluten-free breweries that you can try if you’re lucky to live near one (like me). If you don’t live near one, I think a road trip is in your future!

Remember, this list includes only dedicated gluten-free breweries; while there are breweries making gluten-free beer, these beers are made with gluten-free grains in dedicated gluten-free facilities.

Also, please note that gluten-removed beers are not safe for someone on a gluten-free diet to consume. Don’t be tempted. It’s just not worth it. Read more about why in this article.
