GLUTEN-REMOVED BEER FOR EVERYONE!
Named for those eureka moments, our Breakthru beers are great-tasting craft beers backed by science. After a traditional brewing process, which lends these beers their classically delicious flavour, each batch is treated to remove gluten, sent off for analysis, and verified before hitting the shelves.

OUR BREAKTHRU PROCESS
01. BREWING
Our Breakthru beer recipes start off on the brewhouse like every other Category beer. However, thanks to our founder’s PhD in biochemistry, we’re able to create gluten removed Breakthru beers using traditional beer ingredients - which include water, hops, yeast and even barley. This is why Breakthru beers taste so amazing.
02. FERMENTATION
After locking in all those delicious craft beer flavours in the kettle, we transfer the beer to a fermentation vessel. We then add yeast to do the heavy lifting of making the beer.
03. ADD ENZYME
During fermentation, we add an enzyme to destroy any gluten that hitched a ride with all the other delicious craft beer flavours. This enzyme actually targets numerous locations specifically within the celiac reactive regions of the gluten protein, thereby destroying it.
05. PACKAGING
Only once our lab results indicate that gluten levels are <10 ppm do we release the batch for packaging and shipment to stores!
(20 ppm is the international threshold for gluten-free designation of foods made from gluten-containing ingredients)
04. TESTING
We confirm gluten removal in every batch of Breakthru beer and make the results available to you. We use an external lab that conducts gluten testing using the rigorously characterized R5 Competitive ELISA assay which has been defined as the internationally accepted method for gluten testing in hydrolyzed food products (and specifially beer) by the World Health Organization and United Nations since 2019. The WHO/UN establish standards, guidelines and codes of practice for foods globally.
