Few realize this blonde ale is gluten-free thanks to an abundance of bread crust flavor; balanced hop bitterness sweeps up woody peach and toffee notes.

Alt Brew Farmhouse Ale

This saison-ish beer starts with a lemon- pith nose that segues into a tangerine sip. A touch of honey adds some weight.

Lakefront New Grist

The label says it’s a pilsner, but don’t expect crackery Pilsen malt flavor: Instead, this sorghum ale’s sweet grain and green apple notes wrap up with mellow hop bitterness and a lager snap.

Green’s Dubbel Dark Ale

You’ll barely notice the 7% ABV in this easy-drinking Belgian (brewed with gluten-free ingredients including millet, buckwheat, brown rice and sorghum); tart blackberry and cola finish clean in a dry swallow.

Sprecher Shakparo

Based on an African millet beer, Shakparo exudes pear aromas, fresh effervescence and some bubblegummy sweetness—a surprising substitute for traditional Belgians.

Dupont Foret Libre

Gluten-reduced Libre is nearly indistinguishable from a traditional saison with funk and tart lemon on the nose and peppery spice on the sip.

Damm Daura

A slightly tart lager perfect for patio drinking, the gluten-reduced Damm rounds out with young wood on the sip. It’s not overly complex; serve it as a substitute for a macro-lager six-pack.

New Planet Raspberry Ale

This brewery’s all-gluten-free lineup is fairly traditional (think: brown ale, pale ale, etc.), and each beer exhibits an apple/grape fruitiness that finds its best expression in this sweet, berry-tinged brew perfect for the shandy-drinking set.

Ground Breaker Pale Ale

This pale ale’s main fermentable is Oregon chestnuts, but it’s also hopped with Cascade and Meridian hops, which lend cold mint, sweet tropical fruit and smooth bitterness.

Omission IPA

Omission’s gluten-reduced beers— brewed with an enzyme that removes gluten—are all solid, but the IPA’s a standout. Orange blossom aromas introduce a woody, smooth sip reminiscent of an English IPA.

Joseph James Fox Tail

Wine drinkers, take note! Huge champagne bubbles lift oaky, creamy chardonnay flavors to the fore of this food-friendly pour.

Glutenberg Red Ale

Canada’s Glutenberg brewery has dominated the gluten-free category at World Beer Cup in years past; the toasty, lightly smoky and nutty ale (thanks to roasted chestnuts) proves Glutenberg’s GF prowess.
