Visit Fyne Ales → The Story
A farm brewery at the head of Loch Fyne in Argyll, brewing since 2001 and a serial award winner. It has made 2 of its core beers gluten free, both available all year: the blonde ale Hurricane Jack, from early 2026, and Fyne Helles, a German style lager, from October 2026.
GF approach: Gluten reduced: brewed from gluten containing grains, then made gluten free. Hurricane Jack (pale malt and torrified wheat) went gluten free in February 2026, and Fyne Helles (Vienna and extra pale malt) followed in October 2026. No ppm figure, testing method or Coeliac UK certification is published. Older batches of Fyne Helles that are not gluten free may still be on sale in shops, so look for the gluten free logo on the back of the can.
