Damm – Daura Gluten-Free Beer, 4 x 330ml

Product Information

Daura was launched in 2006. Since then it has won many prestigious international awards as the best gluten-free beer. One of the first, and still one of the best, gluten-free brewers. From crisp, light lagers to rich, dark ales, Green's offers nearly a dozen premium gluten-free beers. Find Green's near you. Be careful! Green's makes some beers that are gluten-reduced. As with anything that’s too good to be true though, it looks like this might actually be problematic because while the gluten no longer exists (and therefore avoids all gluten tests), but the truth is that people aren’t having problems with gluten protein, but rather 3 of the peptides in the protein. As of yet no research has been done to see if those peptides still exist in the final product or not. Yes, the US system of gluten-free and gluten-reduced seems better than the European one. I am avoiding beer for the moment as I have read research suggesting that some people might still react to fragments of degraded gluten proteins in supposedly safe beer. New Planet, crafted in Boulder, Colorado, was created when the founder discovered he had Celiac Disease and went on a personal quest to drink delicious beer.

After all, many people–not just Celiacs–feel WAY better when minimizing their gluten intake. It can be inflammatory and it becomes harder to digest with each year that passes, thanks in part to unsustainable farming practices and monocultures in our food system. The Taste Test Daura Damm Minimum life based on 'use-by' date of product. Average life based on last week's deliveries. Life guarantee shown based on delivery tomorrow with the Life guarantee starting the following day. The flavours of toasted grains add to the beer’s personality. The mouthfeel is smooth, thanks to the fine bubbles. The Daura Damm is marketed as a 5.4% ABV traditional lager. I’m happy to report that in bold letters on the top label, it reads “Crafted to Remove Gluten”, which is the legal requirement in the USA for all gluten reduced beers. I’m thrilled to see this beer labeled correctly, as not all imported beers are.

The labeling laws are different in Europe, allowing brewers to slap a gluten free label on gluten reduced beers…so long as it’s below 10-20ppm. I’ve never cared for that oversight. I find it misinforms the consumer and puts Celiacs at risk. There is certainly a market for gluten reduced beers out there, but I feel it’s made up of those who choose to avoid gluten and perhaps don’t have an auto immune disease triggered by it. Daura has a gluten level below 3 ppm (parts per million) analyzed using the Competitive ELISA R5 method, which is currently accepted as valid for hydrolyzed products such as beer. According to the Codex Alimentarius, a product is considered suitable for coeliacs if it has less than 20 ppm. Haven’t tried all the GF beers, but have heard that this recently won the best GF beer in the world (in Europe). And given all these beers contain alcohol anyway (which is not good for you in quantity) I am not overly concerned with processes and enzymes that might be in the GF beers. This seems inconsequential to moi. This gluten-free lager brewed by Anheuser-Busch is the most accessible gluten free beer in the United States, due to its wide distribution network. Hopped with imported Hallertau and domestic Cascade hops, this sorghum beer has characteristics of the popular macro brews, but the company calls it a lager. Because barley is used instead of sorghum, this gluten-removed lager taste much more like you would expect a beer to taste like.

For starters, if you’re interested in the citation for the original research mentioned in the LiveScience article link you provided, here it is: Be careful that its 'Certified' gluten-free Vs "Brewed to remove gluten-free" I know the Omission beers became an issue for me. In 2011 Estrella Damm Daura won Three Gold medals for Best Gluten free beer. First, a Gold Medal at the World Beer Championships in Chicago, IL. Secondly the won Gold at the International Beer Challenge in London, UK. Third they won the World’s Best Gluten-free Lager Award (for the 3rd consecutive time) at the World Beer Awards, also held in London, UK.

This is the type of light lager that you may expect from Europe. It is a beer that isn’t over-bearing, and is great for drinking at outdoor events. Finally, this isn’t a really great beer to begin with, so don’t look at brewers clarex and think that all variants are bad. This particular beer doesn’t taste great, but it works in all beers and doesn’t manipulate the flavors. Technically you can get a vial of the stuff, dump it in a keg of your favorite barley-only beer, wait a week and viola, gf beer.Award-winning gluten-free Glutenberg is available in 41 U.S. states. "What began with a blonde ale has developed into a gluten-free paradise of well-crafted ales." The dominant character to the flavor profile for me is the spiciness behind the taste (and aroma)…it’s undeniable and fairly benign. I wouldn’t say that I’m particularly excited about this beer, but it’s certainly a palatable option if you can consume gluten reduced beers safely and you enjoy commercial lagers. I, however, don’t fall into that category.
