Gluten-Free? Drink Rice Beer

You may not know it, but you've probably had rice beer. Most Japanese beers like Sapporo, Kirin and Asahi are rice-based and even Budweiser uses rice along with barley. That said, those brews alone shouldn't inform your opinion of rice beers, which can be creamy, refreshing and pleasantly sweet. Some, but not all, are gluten-free, so it's important to check if you have celiac disease or are extremely sensitive to gluten. Here, gluten-free rice beers perfect for toasting F&W's Gluten-Free Week.

This fruity, almost cider-like beer is brewed with a base of rice and nectar and is aggressively hopped for a refreshing, piney flavor. It was the first canned gluten-free beer in the country, so it's perfect for a gluten-free picnic.

Epic Glutenator

Sweet potatoes, millet, molasses and brown rice give this beer a smooth, easy drinking flavor. The slight sweetness is balanced by the floral hops.
