The gluten content of beer

This article discusses the gluten content of various beers and two beer-based mixed beverages, determined using two different enzyme immunoassays. Evaluations of the test results for gluten content, interpreted within the scope of legal guidelines governing food products, show that beer brewed solely with barley malt and the beer-based mixed beverages (Shandy, Cola-beer mix) created from it, do not contain relevant amounts of gluten.
