Omission Beer Claims that they are a Gluten Free Beer and that their process to rid traditional traditional beer ingredients has been successful. The greatest "Faux Pas" is that Omission has been recognized by an independent Gluten Free organization stating that they are left with only residual fragments of gluten after their brew process. This is WRONG! The body never lies and after drinking the beer after reading the box label stating that this is a gluten free option, I have found these claims to be false. I believe that they should retract their claims and discontinue their labeling promoting these claims!
This has been taken right from their Freq Asked Question section explaining their process.
"Omission beers are brewed just like other great craft beers, with malted
barley, hops, water, and yeast. Once the beers are ready for the
fermentation tanks, we add a brewing enzyme called Brewers Clarex™ which
breaks apart and detoxifies the gluten protein chains. The beers are
then packaged in a closed environment to eliminate any cross
contamination risk."
There is no known or proven way to rid gluten in it, except not to use it in the first place. This reminds me of the people who believe that if they fry gluten contaminated foods at an extreme temperature they will remove the allergens. In Correct.
After drinking 2 Omission Pale Ales at a local bar I started to experience a severe reaction to the ingredients. Thinking initially that this beer was gluten free I thought that my reactions of having extreme chest pressure and heart palpitations followed by bloating and intestinal pains were the result of something that I might have eaten earlier in the day. After going to Omission's website as well as Googling other cases similar to time, I have realized that the Omission beer is the culprit. After a long night in trying to get the gluten out of my body I wake up in pain and feeling awful. So if you are like me in the sense of not being able to tolerate gluten I urge you to -
NOT DRINK THIS BEER IF YOU ARE GLUTEN SENSITIVE OR HAVE CELIAC DISEASE!
Thank you and be well....
