I Gave Up Gluten — But Not Good Beer: My Journey into Gluten-Free Brews 🍺

When I first cut gluten out of my diet, beer was the thing I missed the most. A pint with friends, a cold one after work, something decent to go with my Friday night curry — I thought it was all off the table.

But then I found Beerhunter’s gluten-free beer collection, and it honestly changed the game. Turns out, you can go gluten-free and still enjoy brilliant beer — without compromising on flavour, body, or satisfaction.

Here are some of the beers that got me through the early days — and still sit proudly in my fridge today.

✅ My Top Gluten-Free Beer Picks

🍻 GREEN’s Gluten Free IPA 330ml Bottles (12 Pack)

This is a proper IPA — bold hops, tropical notes, and that satisfying bitter finish. It’s gluten-free, but you’d never know. If you’re a hop-head like me, this one’s essential.

🔥 GREEN’s Gluten Free Dubbel Ale 330ml Bottles (12 Pack)

For something richer and darker, this Belgian-style dubbel is a winner. It’s malty, slightly fruity, and absolutely perfect for cosy nights in.

🍺 Brightside Brewing Helles Lager 4.8% ABV (12 Pack)

Clean, crisp, and dangerously drinkable. This is my go-to fridge filler — brilliant with food, or just for those sunny days when you fancy something light but flavourful.

🎁 Not Sure Where to Start? Try a Mixed Case

🎉 Gluten Free & Vegan Craft Beer Case Gift Set (12 Pack with Glass)

This was how I got started — and it’s still one of the best value-for-money options. 12 different gluten-free craft beers, all vegan too, and it even includes a branded glass. Ideal for tasting your way through some top picks without committing to full packs.

🎂 Gluten Free Beer ‘Hoppy Birthday’ Gift Box

I got this for a mate’s birthday — he’s not even gluten-free but loved it. If you’re after a fun, ready-to-go gift that’s still GF-friendly, this one’s a no-brainer.

🍴 Yes, You Can Cook With Gluten-Free Beer Too

Since going gluten-free, I’ve used these beers in loads of recipes — from classic beer-battered fish to rich chilli and even brownies made with a splash of stout. As long as the label says it’s gluten-free, you’re good to go in the kitchen.

💬 Final Thoughts from a Gluten-Free Beer Lover

Cutting out gluten felt like the end of proper beer — but it really wasn’t. These days, I crack open a pint without even thinking about what’s missing. Because with the right beers, nothing is.

If you’re just starting out, or looking to stock up, I genuinely recommend giving these a try. You won’t miss a thing.
