How much gluten is in Estrella Damm Daura (Lager)?
Reported testing for Estrella Damm Daura (Lager): less than 20 ppm (official damm.com; historical <6/<3 ppm figures appear only in older third-party marketing). Test method: R5 Competitive ELISA, per batch, certified by CSIC (Spanish National Research Council). 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 Estrella Damm Daura (Lager) 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.
