    Is Coors Light Gluten-Free?

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    Wondering if Coors Light Beer is gluten-free? The short answer is that Coors Light beer is not gluten-free. Here's the lowdown.

    Celiac.com 06/05/2021 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. One question we see a lot is about beers. 

    Specifically, is Coors Light gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? The short answer is no, Coors Light is not gluten-free, and is not recommended for people with celiac disease.

    Celiac.com Sponsor (A12):
     The longer answer is that both Coors and Coors Light beers contain the following ingredients: Water, Barley Malt, Corn Syrup, Yeast, & Hop Extract.

    However, MillerCoors did once make a gluten-free beer called "Coors Peak," which was certified gluten-free, but it may have been discontinued (it was available in Oregon for a while).

    Because Coors Light contains barley malt, it is not gluten-free, and so not recommended for people with celiac disease. If you're looking for a specific Coors Light product that contains alcohol and is gluten-free, then you might consider a Coors Light Seltzer. We recently wrote about how numerous alcoholic seltzers, including Bud Light Seltzer are gluten-free, and safe for people with celiac disease. If you're looking for a gluten-free beer, then try one of the many gluten-free or gluten-removed beers on the market.

    As far as I can tell Coors Peak is no longer made. At least 2 sources have confirmed this. Here's one:

    I love the taste of Ultimate Omission especially since it only has 4 carbs per serving. Fortunately, it has thus far had a 100% success rate for gluten removal.  The beverage is great for persons counting total carbohydrates.  I enjoy the taste of Red Bridge, but the carbs are significantly higher.  I'm waiting for the company to provide a lower carb variety.  The problem with eating out is that bars (restaurant bars) only offer a yucky fermented apple juice.  They do not stock Omission or Red Bridge.

    Scott Adams was diagnosed with celiac disease in 1994, and, due to the nearly total lack of information available at that time, was forced to become an expert on the disease in order to recover. In 1995 he launched the site that later became Celiac.com to help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives.  He is co-author of the book Cereal Killers, and founder and publisher of the (formerly paper) newsletter Journal of Gluten Sensitivity. In 1998 he founded The Gluten-Free Mall which he sold in 2014. Celiac.com does not sell any products, and is 100% advertiser supported.

    Coors Peak Beer Now Certified Gluten-free
    Celiac.com 04/01/2015 - Coors Peak beer, a gluten-free copper lager, which hit store shelves in Seattle and Portland, is wasting no time in collecting accolades from gluten-free organizations.
    MillerCoors recently announced that Coors Peak has become the first beer by the big three brewers to meet the certification standards set by the Gluten Intolerance Group of North America.
    To ensure that Coors Peak is gluten-free, MillerCoors has employed exacting production standards, “including production in an entirely separate area to reduce the risk of cross-contamination,” said Channon Quinn, director of industry programs with the Gluten Intolerance Group.
    According to David Kroll, MillerCoors vice president of insights and innovations, it took five years of research, te...

    Oktoberfest Beer Guide! Gluten-free vs. Gluten-removed Beers
    Celiac.com 10/14/2016 - It's almost October, and that means beer, or, at least it means Oktoberfest is near. And in so many ways, gluten-free beer lovers have never had it better, with dozens of selections now available commercially, and more on the way every month, it seems.
    So grab a beer, and celebrate Oktoberfest. But before we get to the list of beer purveyors, let's quickly review some basics of gluten-free versus gluten removed.
    Naturally Gluten-free Beers—Naturally gluten-free beers are made with all gluten-free source ingredients, and use grains like sorghum instead of barley. This is important to many people, especially those with high sensitivity, or the belief that gluten-removed beers may trigger celiac-related problems.

    Which Alcoholic Seltzers are Gluten-Free?

    Alcoholic seltzers have become extremely popular, and there are literally dozens of brands on the market. According to Wikipedia, "Hard seltzer, spiked seltzer or hard sparkling alcohol water is a type of highball drink containing carbonated water, alcohol, and often fruit flavoring.
