Free Beer is our gluten free and finings free, hazy APA.

Recently we’ve been asked a lot to make a gluten free beer, so we bloody well did it! This American Pale is brewed using malt and wheat, like “regular” beers but then the gluten is removed using Brewers Clarex. This reduces the amount of gluten in the beer to ten parts per million. (FYI for something to be classed as “gluten free” there needs to be less than 21 parts per million).

As well as being gluten free we also refrained from adding Isinglass finings to the beer so it’s also vegan friendly. This does make the beer hazy but that inturn gives more hop flavour as there is hop debris suspended in the beer.

Liberally hopped with Chinook, Simcoe and Mosaic to ensure plenty of flavour and bite.

The bigger brother of our session IPA Hops & Dreams, our new full on IPA, Hop & Glory, uses the same hops used to make its little sibling but lots more of them! Meaning more flavour and more aroma but still the great balanced taste you’d expect from a Brew Foundation beer. Compared to Hops & Dreams we’ve added more flavour hops (Magnum) to Hop & Glory, we’ve doubled the amount of aroma hops (Cascade) and doubled the amount of dry hopping (Rakau).

We still wanted to make it a great session beer so it’s just a touch below the 5% mark at 4.9% ABV.

The tropical fruit flavours and aromas from the Rakau really come into their own in this one. Combine this with the floral, citrus aromas from the Cascade and you get a clean, fresh IPA that’s incredibly moreish.

It was launched at Craft and Dough during Sheffield Beer Week on the 17th March and is now available in bottle, cask and keg across Sheffield, Cheshire, Stoke on Trent, Wakefield and Manchester.

Available in 9 gallon cask, 4.5 gallon pins, 500 ml bottles and 30 litre Eco Kegs.
