No. Delicious IPA 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. Choose a beer brewed from naturally gluten-free grains instead, and speak to your doctor.
What enzyme is used in Delicious IPA?
The specific enzyme product has not been published for Delicious IPA. Breweries in this category typically use AN-PEP, sold as Brewers Clarex or White Labs Clarity Ferm.

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.
