The best gluten-free IPA beers

Ghostfish's 11th anniversary release — a SODO-flavored steel IPA marking a milestone year that also brought their acquisition of the former Pike Brewery production facility.

Overwhelmingly refreshing, mild, fruity hoppiness from Citra and Mosaic varietals underpin and balance the unmistakable blood orange. Is it the perfect Summer companion?

We all enjoy Mimosas, but some of us have fragile masculinity, and we like to throw some beer in them. We figured, why not make it a beer? A drier IPA, though not fully 'brut', conditioned on hundred of pounds of tangerines!

The best friend of Holidaily Founder’s husband, Fat Randy is a Colorado guy through and through. Not fat, though called Fat Randy for more than 20 years, Holidaily wanted to give the guy a break and name a beer after him. Fat Randy’s IPA comes complete with a label designed after an epic ski fall you can watch on YouTube.

Each year during hop harvest in Washington, we select different hops to showcase in these limited releases. This year's fresh hop beer features 300 lbs of fresh picked Chinook hops from Washington's Chelan Valley Hops. Whole-cone hops harvested on brew day and put into the kettle to create liquid gold!

Tasting notes: Resinous pine, apricot, grapefruit, lemon

American IPAs are known for their citrusy hop punch, but we cranked up the juice on this one! Brewed with a blend of Cascade and Horizon hops, then dry hopped with Altus hops, codenamed “Experimental Grapefruit”, this IPA is a serious citrus bomb. Lively and bright, bracingly bitter, and eminently refreshing, you’ll wish it grew on trees!

Tasting Notes: The grapefruit character of this beer is more “grapefruit rind” than grapefruit juice. Bracing and bright with a pungent grapefruit aroma and a powerful citrusy bitterness. A real hop bomb!

Ingredients: water, sorghum, brown rice, candi syrup, tapioca maltodextrin, hops, grapefruit puree, yeast

Hop heavy with a clean herbal flavor and beautiful blonde color. Citrus notes balance the smooth bitterness for an amazing finish.

A well balanced IPA made with a blend of Citra and Mosaic hops that provide an experience of flavors and aromas from oranges and blueberries to stonefruit. It has an assertive, hoppy finish that is short lived.

Glutenberg IPA is a dream come true for lovers of micro-brewed beers. A real little flavor bomb, it presents a perfect harmony between citrus aromas, the freshness of hops and bitterness. This beer guarantees a smooth entry into the mouth, releasing notes of apricot and sweet caramel. Its exaggerated dry side makes its bouquet of flavors shine and ensures good aromatic persistence. To be consumed fresh and in large quantities!

IPA No. 5 is brewed with roasted chestnuts, roasted lentils, and Belgian-style candi sugar. Crystal and Santiam hops are used during the boil and for dry-hopping. Crystal hops bring the classic Northwest IPA pine and citrus notes while Santiam adds hints of tropical and stone fruits.

A project with the The Mountaineers

Ghostfish and The Mountaineers were both founded on the idea of transcending limits. We thrive on a spirit of wonder, a sense of adventure, and a commitment to the wild places of the Pacific Northwest. We’re powered by strong passionate communities who support our missions. Whether it’s distinctive craft beer made from high-quality, low-impact grains, or unique, life-changing experiences in the outdoors, we believe life is meant to be lived and lived well–no matter who you are. This is Kick Step IPA: a liquid representation of our shared value with The Mountaineers.

Tasting notes: A classic NW style IPA, golden in color with complex hop aromas of citrus, mango and pine. Sturdy, yet light bodied with a dry finish. 

An uncommonly smooth IPA. Malt and toffee flavors mask the initial hop flavor but Amber IPA has a delightful bitterness from hops that lingers on the tongue. Brewed with sorghum, Belgian-style candi syrup, beet sugar, tapioca maltodextrin, magnum hops, amarillo hops, yeast, and water.

An IPA with prominent lemon and pine character.

A limited-release American IPA available exclusively from the Biddeford tasting room.

A crisp, citrus-forward West Coast IPA — hoppy, dry, and refreshing.
