Gluten Free Beer by Country

I am thrilled with the growing number of gluten free beer options that are currently available around the world. Especially considering since I had the very "tough" job of being the North American representative for the world’s first gluten-free beer festival in Chesterfield, UK a few years ago!

It's great to see the wide range of gluten free beer available that now includes lagers, pils, pale ales, blond ales and amber ales from Australia, Canada, Europe and the U.S. Taste testing the local gluten free beer during my travels is one of my top priorities!
