Are gluten-free strong ales any good?

Accepted Answer

Higher-ABV ales with rich malt complexity. Includes Scotch ales and old ales. As of 2026, gluten-free strong ales from dedicated breweries are often indistinguishable from their gluten-containing counterparts — several have won major awards (GABF, World Beer Cup) in head-to-head competition.

Question 3

Are gluten-free strong ales safe for people with celiac disease?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every gluten-free strong ale on All Beer No Gluten is brewed at a 100% dedicated gluten-free facility, with no barley, wheat, or rye in the building. That eliminates the cross-contamination risk that affects "gluten-reduced" or "crafted to remove gluten" beers, which are not celiac-safe.
