Coors Light is a 4.2% ABV light beer brewed throughout the USA. It was first produced in 1978 by the Coors Brewing Company.
One interesting tidbit about Coor’s packaging is its “Cold Certified” label which turns the mountains on the label from white to blue when the beer’s temperature is lowered to 39 °F (4 °C).
Coors Light has a “mountain icon” to represent the beer in place of the logo. The icon is a stylized drawing of a mountain with two peaks. In Australia, Coors Light is labelled as Coors.
As a light beer, it’s easy to think that Coors Light might be gluten-free… but don’t be so quick to assume.
Question: Is Coors Light Beer Gluten Free?
Answer: NO*
*although tests have shown its gluten content is very low.
Coors Light Beer is not a gluten-free beer, although testing has shown that it’s gluten content does fall below 10ppm. However, because it is made from the usual ingredient associated with beer it is not recommended.
The Coors Brewing Company have recently released a range of beers which are completely gluten free and this should be your go to option. If you are especially interested in a gluten-free option and are especially interested in this brand of beer, check out “Coors Peak”.

This makes absolutely no sense at all. If a food product is listed as less than 20 ppm, what difference does it make what the source of gluten is. Why should the barley content be any different? Less than 10 ppm is still less than 20 ppm. I am not a scientist, and I guess neither are you. I did my own test. I am a biopsy confirmed Celiac. Was diagnosed in 2005. I drank GF beer until I read of a test conducted on the gluten content of bud light and coors light. I read it to be about 5 ppm. At this point I decided to drink one and see what happened. Nothing happened. I continued to drink both for the past 10 years or so with absolutely no symptoms and with no positive anti-bodies in my couple of random blood draws. All I can do is draw a conclusion that at least in my case it is tolerable. This of course is not to be considered medical advice and only my opinion.
