Brewers usually make beer using four basic ingredients: water, hops, yeast, and malt. That last ingredient, malt, is what gives most beer its gluten. “Malt” basically means a grain—often gluten-containing barley, wheat, or rye.
In the United States, Canada and Europe, a beer is considered gluten free if the gluten level is under 20 parts per million.
True gluten free beer is brewed with no gluten containing ingredients from the start and typically certified as gluten free.
