Headed out for a party? Perhaps you want to pick up some drinks at the store to bring with you to a fun event?
If you cannot consume gluten (or choose not to) then most traditional beers must be avoided as they are derived from barley. Fortunately, a lot of companies are now making gluten-free beers from buckwheat, millet, sorghum and rice. Champagne and wine are naturally gluten-free. However, since companies can sneak in additives, I encourage you to contact the manufacturer directly to confirm that the product is gluten-free.
Many popular alcohols are gluten-free, such as gin, Japanese sake, rum, vodka (when derived from corn, potato or quinoa) and tequila. Additionally, Microbreweries are rapidly catering to the demand for gluten-free beers so be sure to check out local companies as you might find some great drinks near you!
Below is a list of some companies that produce Gluten-free beers and spirits:
-Redbridge Beer (produced by Anheuser-Busch)
If you don’t drink alcohol and avoid soda, you might want to try my Homemade Cherry “Soda” and Virgin Mojito Recipes. Happy beverage shopping!

I am passionate about healthy living and believe nutritious food can be delicious-even for those living with food allergies. I cook and bake without gluten and with limited grains and dairy. Cheers to radiant health and vibrant living!
I hope everyone has a great weekend, hope I win!!!!
We do not drink any alcohol drinks so we are safe on this one.
No beer here! Just wine.
Thanks for the list of GF alcoholic beverages! That’s one thing I really feel clueless about since starting my gluten free lifestyle. Thank you! thank you! thank you!
I’m not much of a beer person, but I LOVE hard cider.
Thankfully I don’t like beer, but I do like vodka!

Interesting.
I also love Cider by Woodchuck!
My son and I both prefer good, cold ice water – always gluten free!
Thanks for the info! While I am mostly a wino, I am glad to know that there are other gluten free choices for socializing. All of your posts for the “10 Days of Gluten Free” have been great!!
