Gluten Free Beer Advancements by German Company Using Australian Technology
Australian ingenuity has paid off, with a gluten free grain developed in Australia being used by German brewer Radeberger to make the first gluten free beer.
The Kebari barley was developed through the Coeliac Friendly Cereals project, co-funded by the CSIRO and The Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC).
The grain was developed using conventional plant breeding methods resulting in 10,000 times less hordeins (the type of gluten found in barley) than regular barley.
Radebarger created the Pionier beer using the gluten free grain, to be launched this month.
As the number of people with coeliac disease rise and increasing numbers opt for gluten free diets, this is a particularly valuable development.
