Gluten-free beer. Gluten-free beer is beer made from ingredients that do not contain gluten such as millet, rice, sorghum, buckwheat or corn (maize). People who have gluten intolerance (including celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis sufferers) have a reaction to certain proteins in the grains commonly used to make beer, barley and wheat.
What Really Happens with 'Gluten-Removed' Beer. To make this type of beer, brewers start with barley, which gives the beer a traditional flavor (many people dislike the taste of beer brewed with gluten-free grain such as sorghum). Then, they add an enzyme that breaks down gluten and other proteins. Note that I said breaks down gluten. The enzyme doesn't actually remove the gluten from the beer â instead, it actually breaks down the gluten molecule (which is a large, cumbersome molecule) into much smaller pieces of the original molecule.
