What enzyme is used in Cask Social Lubricant?
The specific enzyme product has not been published for Cask Social Lubricant. Breweries in this category typically use AN-PEP, sold as Brewers Clarex or White Labs Clarity Ferm.
How much gluten is in Cask Social Lubricant?
Reported testing for Cask Social Lubricant: <10 ppm. Treat reported ppm as indicative rather than definitive — the standard R5 ELISA test can under-read the gluten fragments an enzyme produces.
Should I order Cask Social Lubricant on draft?
Prefer a sealed bottle or can. Shared tap lines can carry residue from other beers poured through them, which can reintroduce gluten regardless of how the beer itself was brewed.
Gluten claims on this page are independently researched from published sources and community reports — they are not verified by lab testing by Off Label. Recipes and processes change without notice, and enzyme use can vary between batches; we cannot guarantee this beer is currently gluten-reduced. If you have celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity, confirm directly with the brewery before consuming. Enzyme-reduced beer is not gluten-free. Nothing here is medical advice.
