Apex Hoppy Gluten-Free APA

There are 3 stages where we check for the absence of gluten in the beer: in the fermenter, the bright beer tank prior to packaging, and in package. We use an industry accepted method for testing for the presence of gluten (gliadin and hordein proteins) which has a threshold of detection of 2PPM (which is below the accepted minimum detection level of 3PPM). Food Standards Australia/New Zealand specifies that a product may only be called Gluten-Free if there is no gluten detected and considers a result of less than 3PPM as suitable for calling “Gluten-Free”. As a result, we test ourselves at a far more stringent level of testing than is applied in the US, EU, and UK. We are confident that we are achieving this result and would not release the beer if it tested otherwise.
