Ever considered a cold, gluten-free beer to complement your turkey this year? Interestingly, it’s made right in New Jersey.

There has been a surge in the production of gluten-free products, and breweries are not left out either.

The USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards has gathered a list of Best Gluten-Free Beers 2023 from various parts of the country and identified the top 10 gluten-free beers worth trying.

The report states that these delightful brews, comprised of alternative ingredients like sorghum, rice, millet, lentils, and nuts, were chosen by a panel of experts and voted by our readers. A brewery from New Jersey has been awarded the country’s top Gluten Free Beer.

The No. 1 gluten-free beer ranked on the list: A Dark Night — Departed Soles Brewing Company.

“A Dark Night from Departed Soles Brewing Company in New Jersey is a black IPA made with 100% gluten-free ingredients. The hop-forward beer, designed to taste like a shaken-up black and tan, finishes with flavors of roasted malts”, says USAT.

The Jersey City brewery’s Black IPA is one of the brewery’s first gluten-free offerings and has been recognized at the 2016 World Beer Cup and at the Best of Craft Beer Awards.

“In late October, we remembered the life of my late best friend, Chris Ward, who suffered from gluten intolerance and set me down this path of brewing. We’ve been laughed at, called names, and kicked out of bars when we talk about the importance of this product. In what is a dark time of the year to us, it means the world to me that our dark beer received this award,” said Brian Kulbacki, Owner and Head Brewer of Departed Soles.
