{"title":"Gluten-Free Beers","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe  \u003cstrong\u003egluten-free beer\u003c\/strong\u003e  is brewed to minimise or eliminate gluten, a protein found in grains such as wheat, barley and rye. This is achieved by using naturally gluten-free ingredients such as sorghum or rice, or through processes that break down gluten in beers made with traditional cereals until they reach safe levels (below 20 parts per million).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUse of alternative grains: much more than barley\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditionally, beer is brewed with barley malt or wheat, both rich in gluten. Gluten-free beers, by contrast, use alternative grains such as millet, buckwheat, sorghum, corn or rice, all gluten-free. These ingredients not only remove gluten, but also contribute unique flavours, sometimes slightly sweeter or more toasted, that distinguish gluten-free beers from traditional ones.

This allows brewers to create beers with traditional ingredients but with gluten levels so low they are safe for most intolerant people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe first gluten-free beer: Greens\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the first recognised gluten-free beers on the market was launched by  \u003cstrong\u003eGreens Brewery\u003c\/strong\u003e  in Belgium in the 2000s. Greens created a line of beers using sorghum and other gluten-free grains, opening the way for other breweries to follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSorghum: a traditional African grain gone global\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe  \u003cstrong\u003esorghum\u003c\/strong\u003e, a staple grain in many parts of Africa, has played a crucial role in gluten-free beer production. Traditional African beers are often made with sorghum due to its accessibility and slightly sweet flavour. As gluten-free beer has grown in popularity, sorghum has been adopted by breweries around the world as an ideal alternative to gluten-rich grains.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGluten-free beers and the rise of craft\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rise of  \u003cstrong\u003ecraft beer\u003c\/strong\u003e  has driven the creation of more and better gluten-free beers. Craft breweries have begun experimenting with different grains, ingredients and processes, resulting in gluten-free beers that are no longer simple substitutes, but authentic beers with their own character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRegulations and certifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGluten-free beer production is subject to  \u003cstrong\u003estrict regulations\u003c\/strong\u003e, especially in Europe and the United States. For a beer to be considered gluten-free, it must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, according to international standards. Beers that meet this threshold can carry gluten-free certification labels, guaranteeing they are safe for people with intolerance or coeliac disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe myth of flavourless beer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the early days of gluten-free beers, many consumers criticised them for tasting \"watery\" or uninteresting compared with traditional beers. However, as brewers have perfected the use of alternative grains and improved brewing techniques, gluten-free beers have reached a flavour level comparable to their gluten-containing counterparts. Today, many fans cannot tell the difference between a traditional beer and a gluten-free one, showing the progress and maturity of this category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuy gluten-free beer online\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy  \u003cstrong\u003egluten-free craft beer\u003c\/strong\u003e  at  \u003cstrong\u003eMascraft\u003c\/strong\u003e  with  \u003cstrong\u003eurgent shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e.
