Scroll through gluten-free beer labels and you’ll eventually spot the letters “NGCI”. It’s not a brand or a brewery - it’s a category, and for people with coeliac disease, it’s arguably the most reassuring one on the shelf.

So you’ve spotted a “gluten-removed” or “gluten-reduced” beer on the shelf. It’s brewed from barley or wheat, not naturally gluten-free grains - so is it actually safe to drink?

May is Coeliac Awareness Month, and we’re celebrating by encouraging people to discover and support the fantastic range of gluten free beers available across the UK.

If you’ve recently gone gluten-free, grabbing a pint at the pub might feel trickier than it used to be.
