Research notes

Also referenced on https://untappd.com/w/schnitzer-brau/8772 . Could not load Schnitzer's own product page (403) to confirm ABV/ppm/cert — flag for direct verification. German Pilsner style from millet malt, 5.0%. Labelled 'German-Hirse-Premium' rather than beer under the Reinheitsgebot.

Should I order German Hirse Premium 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.
