Celia

Celia-Lager


Celia is a Czech lager/pilsner, winner of the coveted Free From best gluten free beer award of 2013. Celia is not only vegan friendly, gluten free but also environmentally healthy by sourcing its ingredients locally from Czech farms. Something i really like about this beer is that it is easy to find in the UK, if you go to the Celia lager website there is a map of all the UK based stores.Outside the UK you can find it online or just Celias own website. 

The Beer kept a nice little head for a while after opening, and had a rather rural smell to it. The taste was malty and easy to drink,also there was a surprising hint of spice in the after taste, most likely down the hops. After drinking two bottles i found it to have an almost chewy texture on my teeth. This is a nice easy Pilsner, its different to other beers Ive reviewed so far in its spicy tones and refreshing feel. 

Alc: 4.5


Ingredients: Organic barley malt, Organic Saaz hops, and water from the zatec foothills.

My score: 7/10

The Gluten Free Beer Blog

Hello there and welcome to my humble blog where I try and help fellow celiac's and people wishing for a little less gluten in there lives to find a damn nice beer to drink.


The general idea behind this blog is to share my opinion of what i think is either a good value or just a good tasting gluten free beer. While I am by no means an expert in the field of beer i have tasted many of the common and less common beers out there and i believe i can give a reasonable assumption of something that at least looks and tastes like beer. This may sound a bit preachy and readers may find them selves thinking, "well how bad could gluten free beer be". Well to put it simply, .......bad.


I must stress though that my short little reviews are just my opinion, everyone has different tastes and likes different types of beer. My main hope is to enlighten some people to the wide variety of choice that is out there for those either stuck with or interested in a gluten free diet.
