Becks is not free of gluten. Beck’s is brewed in accordance with the “Reinheitsgebot” — the German Beer Purity Law of 1516, which requires a beer to be made only from hops, malt, barley and water.

If you sensitive to gluten or suffer from any form of Coeliac disease, it is best to avoid beer . This is due to the fact that the majority of beers are made from grains. Malt and barley grain are the key ingredients used in the making of most beers.
