Questions people ask

Is Glutiny Golden Ale gluten free?

No. Glutiny Golden Ale by New Belgium Brewing is gluten-reduced, not gluten-free. It is brewed from gluten-containing grain and treated with the Brewers Clarex enzyme, which breaks gluten proteins into fragments. Reported testing: <10 ppm, per 5280 Magazine. Breweries generally choose not to advertise this, which is why it is documented here rather than on the label. Enzyme-reduced beer is not considered safe for people with celiac disease.

Can I drink Glutiny Golden Ale if I have celiac disease?

No. Glutiny Golden Ale is gluten-reduced, not gluten-free, and enzyme-treated beer is not considered safe for people with celiac disease. Even trace and fragmented gluten can trigger an immune response. Speak to your doctor.

What enzyme is used in Glutiny Golden Ale?

New Belgium Brewing uses Brewers Clarex, a brand of the AN-PEP (Aspergillus niger prolyl endopeptidase) enzyme. It is added during fermentation, where it cuts gluten proteins at proline sites. Brewers typically adopt it to prevent chill haze rather than to reduce gluten.

How much gluten is in Glutiny Golden Ale?

Reported testing for Glutiny Golden Ale: <10 ppm, per 5280 Magazine. 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 Glutiny Golden Ale 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. Confirm directly with the brewery before consuming. Enzyme-reduced beer is not gluten-free. Nothing here is medical advice.
