*We highly recommend being transparent about the use of oats in gluten-free beers as the storage protein in oats called Avenin is similar to gluten and can cause a reaction for some individuals with gluten-sensitivity. At Grouse Malt House, when handling oats in the malting processes or packaging, we take great care to ensure there is no cross contamination between this seed and the product that is handled next. This includes thorough cleaning and purging of all equipment and tools. If oats are not on the menu for you then using other high protein ingredients such as buckwheat or quinoa as well as underutilizing or adjusting clarity agents will help create your next Hazy beer.
