Gluten free beer at Aldi: what is actually there (and what is not)
Aldi had a dedicated free from beer section. It closed in April 2026. As of June 2026 there is no core gluten free beer range at Aldi. Here is what little remains, and where to shop instead.
By Simon · Updated 10 June 2026
The honest answer is this: if you are doing your weekly shop at Aldi and counting on finding gluten free beer, you will mostly leave without any.
Aldi ran a dedicated Free From section in approximately 300 UK stores between April 2025 and April 2026. That section included Peroni Nastro Azzurro Gluten Free. The trial has now ended. Aldi confirmed: “this trial has now come to an end.” The Free From stock is being merged back into standard shelves until it clears, with no restock planned.
What remains is a seasonal rotating craft range from Williams Bros. Brewing Co. of Alloa, Scotland, which Aldi has stocked as exclusive lines since before the Free From trial. Some of those beers are confirmed gluten free. Some are not verified. None are guaranteed to be on the shelf when you walk in.
Aldi is not a gluten free beer destination. This is a short guide to what is occasionally there, and what the better options are.
What Aldi actually stocks (as of June 2026)
The Williams Bros. rotating exclusives are the only live route to gluten free beer at Aldi. The range rotates on an approximate autumn/winter and spring/summer schedule, selling on a while stocks last basis with no fixed restock date.
| Beer | ABV | Format | GF status | Rotating window |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silver Lake (West Coast IPA) | 5.6% | 440ml can | Confirmed gluten removed, tested under 20ppm, Coeliac UK audited | Autumn/winter exclusive (Oct 2024 to approx. March 2025) |
| Mystic River (East Coast IPA) | 5.0% | 440ml can | GF status not confirmed for Aldi cans specifically | Same window as Silver Lake |
| Rocka Hula (Tropical IPA) | 5.1% | 440ml can | GF status not confirmed for Aldi cans specifically | Spring/summer 2025 exclusive |
| Magma (Hazy IPA) | 5.4% | 440ml can | GF status not confirmed for Aldi cans specifically | Spring/summer 2025 exclusive |
| Joker AF (alcohol free IPA) | 0.5% | 440ml can | Confirmed gluten removed, tested under 20ppm | Listed on Aldi online groceries platform |
Prices could not be verified for any of these lines. Aldi blocks web scraping and no price data surfaced through third-party sources.
A note on the unconfirmed lines: Williams Bros. applies enzymatic gluten removal across their full range, and it is reasonable to assume Mystic River, Rocka Hula and Magma follow suit. But we could not find a specific gluten free label or Coeliac UK audit for those three SKUs in the Aldi context. If you are coeliac and reacting badly is a genuine concern, the confirmed lines (Silver Lake, Joker AF) are the safer call.
One thing to be aware of: as of June 2026 we could not confirm which Williams Bros. seasonal line, if any, is active at Aldi right now. The spring/summer 2025 window is documented. The spring/summer 2026 line could not be verified. Check the Williams Bros. social media or blog before making a trip.
Our verdict on the range
Effectively, there is no standing range.
The Free From section gave Aldi a brief, legitimate claim on this category. With Peroni GF sitting alongside other free from products, coeliac shoppers had something reliable to pick up with the weekly shop. That section is gone.
What is left is an occasional bonus, not a category. Two confirmed gluten free Williams Bros. lines per year, sold until they run out, with no certainty about what is currently on shelf. If you happen to find Silver Lake or Joker AF in your local Aldi that is a decent find, particularly Silver Lake, which is a well made West Coast IPA. But you cannot plan around it.
For any other supermarket, Aldi scores at the bottom for gluten free beer availability. There is no naturally gluten free option. There is no lager. There is no core range at all.
The thing to understand about gluten removed beer
Every gluten free beer Aldi has ever stocked falls into the same category: gluten removed from barley. That means ordinary barley beer treated with an enzyme that breaks down the gluten until the product tests below the 20ppm legal limit. Gluten removed, also called deglutenised, is not the same as naturally gluten free.
For most people it is fine. For some coeliacs it is not. The standard R5 ELISA test used to measure gluten in beer has difficulty detecting the broken gluten fragments left after fermentation. A real number of coeliacs report symptoms from gluten removed beer that passes the test. There is no naturally gluten free beer at Aldi, and there never has been.
Our guide to naturally gluten free versus gluten reduced covers the distinction in full. It is worth reading before you trust any supermarket gluten free label, Aldi or otherwise.
For context: the Peroni Gluten Free brand page explains more about the Peroni GF product specifically, which has wider supermarket availability even if Aldi no longer stocks it as a core line.
Where to actually buy gluten free beer instead
Aldi is the wrong shop for this.
If you want to stay in a supermarket, Tesco carries the widest gluten free beer range in the UK, including dedicated free from beer fixtures in over 320 larger stores, with naturally gluten free options alongside the mainstream gluten removed lines. Sainsbury’s and Waitrose also carry more than Aldi, including some craft gluten free options.
For actual range and choice, the supermarket is the wrong place to look altogether. The breweries doing the best work in this category, the ones producing proper gluten free IPAs, gluten free lagers, gluten free alcohol free beers, and gluten free craft beer across a range of styles, are almost never stocked by any supermarket. They sell direct, through independents, and through specialist retailers.
Our beer directory has over 260 gluten free beers listed, with full details on GF method, ABV, where to buy, and which are safe for coeliacs who react to gluten removed beer. Our breweries directory lists the producers themselves. Those are the right places to start if you want to drink well rather than just drink gluten free.
Aldi may get back into this category. A seasonal Williams Bros. line is not nothing, and the Free From trial showed there was appetite to stock it properly. For now, as of June 2026, treat any Aldi gluten free beer as a lucky find. Do not rely on it.
Frequently asked questions
Does Aldi sell gluten free beer?
Not reliably, as of June 2026. Aldi ran a dedicated Free From section in around 300 UK stores between April 2025 and April 2026. That trial has now ended. The only route to gluten free beer at Aldi today is through its rotating seasonal craft range from Williams Bros. Brewing Co., which changes twice a year and sells out without restock. There is no permanent gluten free beer range.
Did Aldi used to sell Peroni Gluten Free?
Yes. Peroni Nastro Azzurro Gluten Free was part of the Free From trial section that ran from around April 2025. The trial ended in April 2026 and Aldi confirmed it would not continue. Peroni GF is no longer actively stocked, though residual units may still be clearing from some shelves.
Is Williams Bros. beer at Aldi gluten free?
Some of it is confirmed gluten free, some is not verified. Silver Lake (West Coast IPA) and Joker AF (alcohol free IPA) are confirmed gluten removed and tested below 20ppm. Mystic River, Rocka Hula and Magma are Williams Bros. Aldi exclusives where we could not confirm a specific gluten free label for the Aldi cans. Williams Bros. applies enzymatic treatment across their range, but we could not verify the GF claim for those three SKUs specifically.
Is gluten removed beer safe for coeliacs?
It meets the legal gluten free threshold of under 20ppm. However, a number of coeliacs report reacting to gluten removed beer even when it passes the standard test. The issue is explained in our guide to naturally gluten free versus gluten removed beer. Everything Aldi has stocked in this category has been gluten removed from barley, with zero naturally gluten free options.
Where should I shop for gluten free beer if not Aldi?
Tesco has the widest supermarket gluten free beer range in the UK, including naturally gluten free options. Sainsbury's and Waitrose also carry more lines than Aldi. For genuine range and variety, our beer directory lists over 260 gluten free beers available to buy online or direct from the brewery.
