10 Best Gluten-Free Beers UK | BrewDog Stella Artois and More

Exploding onto the British craft beer scene with the opening of their West Yorkshire brewery in Huddersfield, Magic Rock have paved a clear path for themselves as the future of beer and they're now well established as one of the UK's best brewers. 

The Fantasma is a dank and juicy contemporary IPA for beer drinkers who like their booze to bite back a little. High in alcohol at 6.5% ABV, the Fantasma should be enjoyed responsibly and thoroughly down to the last drop. It's a true feather in the gluten-free beer market's cap that we feel definitely deserves the number one spot!

Stella Artois has made a huge effort in recent years to improve their recipes and appeal to more customers. Creating a gluten-free beer, therefore, seemed only natural and if you ask us, they've done a brilliant job! 

This beer, simply put, is as close to their new and improved lager recipe as you can get without the gluten. It's been so well received that we couldn't really put together a ranking of gluten-free booze without it! The hoppy bitterness, the crisp bite and the clean, refreshing finish mean you just can't go wrong with a bottle of Stella!

BrewDog have made a name for themselves by brewing beer in their own unique way, and what they've done with the Vagabond is no exception! It's a big-impact pale ale that has a complex flavour profile of floral notes and caramel, as well as hints of orange and grapefruit.

The explosion of taste doesn't stop there though, as the recipe seeks to finish you off with a resinous pine bitterness that'll leave you in a state of beer-induced bliss. BrewDog manages to provide all of that goodness for a surprisingly low price which is exactly why this bottle is so high on our list! 

San Miguel's 4-pack is priced astonishingly well for a gluten-free beer. This is a classic Spanish beverage that's full of flavour, full of alcohol (for a lager!) and comes with rave reviews from customers of Tesco and ASDA.

We can't believe how similar this beer tastes to a regular San Miguel — which tells you everything you need to know! With flavours of white bread, fruit and honey, this is a balanced beverage that has a wickedly intense body then finishes you off with a strong whack of bitter at the end. 

Peroni's gluten-free lager has retained all the lovely bitterness and the sweet floral aromas of their iconic lager. By adding an enzyme at the very late stages of the brewing process, they've created a thing of gluten-free beauty!

This beer comes endorsed by the Italian Coeliac Association to give anyone who's worried about the effectiveness of their process some drinking reassurance. A delicious beverage for lager lovers who prefer their beer crisp and fruity.

At 4.8% ABV, this is a strong session IPA that may challenge your perception of what a session ale is supposed to be. Obviously, it's still lower in percentage than a standard IPA but it's considered very high for a session beer. 

That aside, it's still a very solid beer that has loads of the good stuff — plenty of citrus and hops, as well as notes of mango, lime and passionfruit. It's a contemporary beer that skips on the gluten but certainly not the taste!

If you love both ale and lager, then let Bellfield's mixed case cut straight to the boozy times! This is a terrific 12-pack of session ales and craft lagers that'll rock the socks right off any beer lover on a Friday night. 

The session ale sits at a nice and light 3.8% ABV, while the lager isn't overly heavy either with a respectable 5.2% ABV. While we understand this mixed case will be a big no-no for strict lager or ale drinkers, it's ideal for beer fans who are nonconformists and enjoy a bit of variety.

Containing a decent selection of beer styles, this craft beer pack would make a great present for a loved one — or for yourself! The only downside is that some customers have noticed that Beer Hunter occasionally double up on a couple of the brands so you may only get 8 different varieties rather than the 12 that are advertised.

Take your tastebuds on a beer masterclass as you start with the easy-drinking lagers and round off the session with the floral, hoppy aromas of the pale ales, IPAs and APAs. Maybe don't finish them all off at once though if you want your money's worth!

"Pine Trail" pale ale is a delicious, refreshing gluten-free beer that also does away with the alcohol. Rather than adding an artificial alcohol remover to the brewing process, Big Drop has opted to naturally brew their beer to have an ABV of less than 0.5%.

The result is a very clean and crisp pale ale with hints of rosy floral aromas, a light citrus bite and bitterness to finish. A high-quality modern ale for anyone who enjoys having a beer with their mates and driving home with a clear head after. The lack of alcohol is the only reason it's at number 9, as it won't appeal to everyone. 

Old Speckled Hen offers a reliable, heartwarming ale from a time before ales became hip. It seems like a far cry from the pale ales we've all become accustomed to but don't count it out just yet! 

With a warming flavour combo of toffee and malt that slides down the throat surprisingly easily, this is a delicious drop indeed. Sure, it won't suit the palate of those who prefer modern beer but for those who enjoy a more traditional-tasing booze, this gluten-free recipe will hit the spot.
