What Makes Skinny Gluten Free?

Skinny Lager is ‘Coeliac Society Certified Gluten Free’. This means that we meet the strict range of criteria as set out and closely monitored by the Coeliac Society to ensure that we are gluten free, both in terms of our ingredients and our production process.

This criteria includes testing for gluten using a UKAS accredited laboratory which we do for EVERY batch. Also our production facilities must meet the requirements of the AOECS Standard for Gluten Free Foods.

Our Coeliac Society certificate licence numbers are
Europe GB 093 001 & Global CUK G 134.

There are two different production methods that qualify a product as ‘Gluten Free’.
Either no gluten is used at all during the production process or the gluten can be
removed to a value <20ppm.

Skinny Lager is gluten removed to a value of <10ppm (lower than the 20ppm threshold).
We do this by exposing the beer to filtering enzymes during fermentation which remove
the gluten at the end of the brewing process.

By being gluten removed, we can still use traditional brewing methods
and this includes using malted barley (a gluten). This is important because
by doing so we ensure that we are a full flavour premium lager.

In 2023 we were winners at the UK Free From Awards in the Gluten Free Beer category.
