A group of us were sitting around over a few beers one evening. We’d all grown up in the world of drinks – different backgrounds but common values on what’s “right” (and wrong of course). One of us – we’re still arguing about who – commented that gluten free beer was basically only available in bottles.

We dug a bit deeper, and realised that not only were the GF beers hidden behind the bar, but those on offer were just versions of well known (and to be fair, some well loved) brands. Nothing wrong with that, but it did seem a bit of a compromise: if you want gluten free, then you can’t have the original when it’s your choice?

So, that’s how The Free From Beer Co. came about: great gluten free flavouresome IPA and pilsner lager, brewed free from compromise first for draught, but fab for cans and bottles too.
