O’Brien Gluten Free Pale Ale

TASTING NOTES

A light golden ale with abundant citrus, tropical fruit flavours and a light sweetness. Australia’s first commercially produced gluten free beer, this is a full-bodied American style pale ale, brewed with the finest malted gluten free grains.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

Great things have come from the humble backyard shed. Harley motorcycles. The world’s first aircraft. Instant noodles. And O’Brien Beer. When founder, John O’Brien, discovered he had coeliac disease in 1998, it put an end to enjoying some of the finer things in life, one of which was beer. But instead it led to the creation of something great. Realising there weren’t any gluten free beers on the market, he retreated to his backyard shed to make one. In August 2005 he released O’Brien Beer, Australia’s first commercially brewed gluten free beer.

DID YOU KNOW?

Because the brewing process for gluten free beer is so different than it is for barley and wheat based beers, their brewery is specially fitted with customised equipment, some expertly designed externally and some built to perfection by them.
