Chiltern brings relief for gluten sufferers

Four of The Chiltern Brewery’s best-selling, multi award winning permanent

bottled beer range have been certified as gluten free. Nothing has been

taken in or left out -- but the beers are now officially designated ‘free of gluten’.

The high-quality brewing process means that the recipes haven’t changed. The

natural gluten from the barley and malts is broken down during the fermentation

and filtration process.

 

This is great news for the 14.3 million Britons who bought or consumed Gluten

Free products in 2016 and means that those who are intolerant to gluten or are

seeking to reduce their intake can still enjoy this fabulous range of fine English

ales – brewed for taste, quality and consistency. The number enjoying Gluten

Free products in the UK is growing at about 13% a year.

 

“I can’t tell you how pleased we are with this new offering and to think that

those intolerant to gluten can enjoy our great range of award-winning ales – in

such a variety of styles too” said Tom Jenkinson, Head Brewer and Co-Director.

The attractively presented bottles have eye-catching labels that echo the rural

surroundings of the Chiltern Hills local to the brewery. Names too reflect the

local history and geography of the area. More good news - the bottles cover a

wide range of ale styles from refreshing Monument Gold Pale Ale 3.8% 500ml

teeming with English summer flavours of honeyed malts and aromatic hops, to

300’s Dark Old Ale 5.0% 500ml - malty and rich, made with Maris Otter and

Crystal malts, and food matching beautifully with red meats and hearty stews.

The new Gluten Free range also includes John Hampden’s Golden Harvest Ale

​

4.8% 500 ml - creamy smooth and well balanced and great with seafood - and

Battle of Britain Old Ale 5.0% 500ml. This is a complex beer with tastes of

roast chestnuts and is a treat with strong gluten free cheeses.

 

The Chiltern Brewery are a second generation family business based in Terrick,

near Wendover, Buckinghamshire and started brewing in 1980. George and Tom

and their team take terrific inspiration from their beautiful rural surroundings

and the geography and history of the county. A fox and beech tree feature on the

company logo.

 

From inception the ethos at The Chiltern Brewery has been to brew natural,

wholesome beers using 100% British ingredients - the best Class A malt and

hops with great provenance and to mirror age old brewing methods. Thirty

seven years on The Chiltern Brewery remains the oldest independent brewery in

Buckinghamshire and the Chiltern Hills.
