New Grist Certified Gluten-Free Beer
CONVENTIONAL BEER ISN’T GLUTEN-FREE.
Typical beers include malted barley and wheat. Since both barley and wheat contain gluten, beers made from those ingredients aren’t gluten-free.
New Grist is Different.
New Grist™ is a one-of-a-kind beer brewed without malted barley or wheat. Together, sorghum, rice, millet, hops, water and gluten-free yeast form a crisp, refreshing session beer brewed for those seeking out a Certified Gluten-Free beer. Beer that is gluten-removed still uses gluten-containing barley and wheat, but employs an enzyme to remove the gluten. This still leaves some gluten in the beer, therefore, we don’t consider these beers truly gluten-free.
First brewed in 2005, our New Grist Pilsner helped rewrite the rules on beer. Prior to that, U.S. Government standards stated that a product labeled “beer” must contain a minimum of 25% malted barley. This meant brewing and selling a gluten-free beer was illegal. Lakefront Brewery petitioned the Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) for a new beer category detailed in a statement of process.
