Free Beer is our gluten free and finings free, hazy APA.

Recently we’ve been asked a lot to make a gluten free beer, so we bloody well did it! This American Pale is brewed using malt and wheat, like “regular” beers but then the gluten is removed using Brewers Clarex. This reduces the amount of gluten in the beer to ten parts per million. (FYI for something to be classed as “gluten free” there needs to be less than 21 parts per million).

As well as being gluten free we also refrained from adding Isinglass finings to the beer so it’s also vegan friendly. This does make the beer hazy but that inturn gives more hop flavour as there is hop debris suspended in the beer.

Liberally hopped with Chinook, Simcoe and Mosaic to ensure plenty of flavour and bite.

Calderdale Beer Festival 2019 in Halifax. Mildly hazed amber with a fruity and fuller textured body and taste. There's some citrus bitterness but this is low, and there's more of a stewed fruitiness.
