Gluten free beer at Asda: the full range, and what is actually worth buying
Asda often undercuts rivals on mainstream gluten free lager, and the Peroni GF four pack at around £7.47 is among the cheapest in the UK. But outside Scotland, every beer on the Asda gluten free shelf is gluten removed from barley. Naturally gluten free options do not exist here unless you are in one of roughly 40 Scottish stores.

If you want gluten free beer from a mainstream supermarket and price matters, Asda is worth knowing about. As of June 2026 it often undercuts rivals on the mainstream lager pack prices: Peroni Nastro Azzurro Gluten Free at around £7.47 is among the cheapest four packs you will find anywhere, and BrewDog Punk GF is in a similar bracket. For the shopper who drinks cold gluten removed lager and wants to pay as little as possible, that is a real point in Asda’s favour.
But there is a hard limit to that story, and it applies to most people reading this: outside Scotland, every beer on the Asda gluten free shelf is gluten removed from barley, not naturally gluten free. Not one. The only exception is three naturally gluten free lines from Bellfield Brewery, stocked in roughly 40 selected Scottish stores since July 2024 and nowhere else. If you are in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland and you need naturally gluten free beer, Asda cannot currently help you.
That is the honest summary. The detail below explains what is there, what it costs (where we can confirm it), and what it means for your shopping.
What Asda actually stocks
Here is the range as we found it in June 2026. Asda blocks automated price scraping, so several prices below are based on comparison site data rather than a direct Asda product page. Where a price could not be verified as Asda-specific, we say so.
| Beer | ABV | Pack | Price (approx, June 2026) | How it is made gluten free |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Peroni Nastro Azzurro Gluten Free | 5.0% | 4x330ml bottles | around £7.47 (Trolley.co.uk; lowest UK price at research date) | Gluten removed from barley, Coeliac UK certified |
| Stella Artois Gluten Free | 4.6% | 4x330ml bottles | varies (comparison sites indicate £5.65 to £6.00; Asda price not verified) | Gluten removed from barley, Coeliac UK certified |

The Bellfield lines are Scotland only. The Daura Märzen listing exists on the Asda Groceries website but current availability is uncertain. The Free From Beer Co product pages are indexed as of June 2026, which suggests they are or were stocked, but we could not confirm active presence in stores. For both, check before you travel.
Everything else is nationally available and consistently present.
Our verdict on the range
Decent for mainstream lager. Thin for everything else.
The nationally stocked range is essentially the same set of mainstream deglutenised brands you find in every large UK supermarket: Peroni, Stella Artois, San Miguel, Daura Damm, and BrewDog Punk GF as the IPA. Cobra and Old Speckled Hen add modest coverage across the lager and ale segments. Bath Ales Gem GF is a quieter addition but a reasonable one for the amber ale drinker.
Where Asda earns a genuine point is on price. The Peroni GF four pack at around £7.47 is, at the time of writing, the cheapest in the UK for that product across the main supermarkets. BrewDog Punk GF at around £5.34 is similarly well positioned. If you are buying in volume and the mainstream brands suit you, that matters.
The Scotland-only Bellfield listing is interesting for a different reason. Bellfield is the UK’s first dedicated gluten free brewery, making beer on a fully separate site with no gluten-containing ingredients anywhere in the process. For the coeliac shopper in one of those 40 Scottish stores, having Bellfield on a supermarket shelf is a meaningful thing. But it does nothing for the rest of the country.
What is absent is the broader point. No naturally gluten free options in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland. No stout. No porter. No sour. No independent gluten free breweries beyond Bellfield in Scotland. None of the craft gluten free tier that now exists in the UK, the Thornbridges, Wold Tops, Abbeydales, Brass Castles, and Fierce Beers of the world, reaches an Asda aisle. What you are looking at is the set of mainstream brands large enough to push a gluten free line through a supermarket buying team. That is not the same thing as a representative picture of what gluten free beer can be.
Compared to Tesco (which carries Celia Organic, Hepworth Blonde, and Jubel as naturally gluten free options nationally), Asda is weaker on range depth. The price advantage on core lagers is real, but the ceiling is lower.
The thing the shelf will not tell you
Every beer on the Asda gluten free shelf in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland is gluten removed, also called deglutenised. The Bellfield lines in Scotland are the only exception, and they are the exception that proves the rule everywhere else.
Gluten removed beer starts life as ordinary barley beer. An enzyme, usually Clarex or a similar product, breaks down the gluten proteins until the beer tests below the 20ppm legal threshold for gluten free labelling. Peroni GF, Stella Artois GF, San Miguel GF, BrewDog Punk GF, Old Speckled Hen GF, Cobra GF, Bath Ales Gem GF: all barley, all enzyme treated.
For most people, that is fine. These products carry Coeliac UK certification (where noted above), they test well below the legal limit, and most coeliacs drink them without issue.
The complication is that some coeliacs react to gluten removed beer even when it passes the test. The standard testing method for gluten in liquid struggles to measure the smaller broken fragments left after enzymatic treatment. A real number of coeliacs report symptoms from products that clear the 20ppm threshold, specifically from barley-derived beers where the protein structure has been partially rather than fully removed.
We explain exactly why in our guide to gluten removed versus naturally gluten free. It is the single most important thing to understand before trusting a supermarket gluten free shelf, and Asda’s shelf makes it more relevant than most.
Naturally gluten free beer is brewed from grains that never contained gluten: sorghum, millet, rice, buckwheat, or on a fully segregated site. Bellfield, in Scotland, falls into this category. Nationally at Asda, there is nothing of this kind.
If you are a coeliac who reacts to barley-derived gluten removed beer, Asda currently has nothing for you outside Scotland.
What we would actually buy, and where
From the Asda shelf itself, the honest picks are narrow but clear.
If gluten removed beer suits you and you drink mainstream lager, Peroni Nastro Azzurro Gluten Free is the value standout. The price is consistently among the lowest nationally and the beer itself is a clean, familiar lager. Daura Damm is the more interesting buy for the technically minded: it tests under 3ppm rather than the standard sub-20ppm, which makes it the most thoroughly deglutenised mainstream option on the shelf. If you are in Scotland and your store stocks Bellfield, the Bohemian Pilsner and Lawless Village IPA are the obvious choices, being naturally gluten free on a dedicated site and Coeliac UK certified.
For IPA, BrewDog Punk GF is the only option nationally. It is a gluten free IPA that works as an IPA rather than as a compromise, which is more than can be said for the category in general.
Beyond that, the Asda range runs dry quickly. No gluten free pale ale of note. No darker styles. Nothing from the independent craft breweries that have built genuinely impressive free from ranges in the last five years.
That is the point where a supermarket stop turns into a different kind of shopping. The beer directory covers over 260 gluten free and gluten removed beers across British and international breweries. The breweries section is the place to go when you want to understand who actually makes this category well, rather than who has the distribution budget to reach a supermarket shelf. Use Asda for a convenient four pack of gluten free lager when the price is right. Use the directory when you want to drink more widely.
Frequently asked questions
Does Asda sell gluten free beer?
Yes. Asda stocks around 11 gluten free beer lines nationally, covering the mainstream lager quartet (Peroni, Stella Artois, San Miguel, Daura Damm), BrewDog Punk GF, Old Speckled Hen GF, Cobra GF, Bath Ales Gem GF, and two lines from The Free From Beer Co. In Scotland only, roughly 40 selected stores also carry three naturally gluten free lines from Bellfield Brewery.
Is Asda cheap for gluten free beer?
Often yes, on the mainstream lagers. As of June 2026, Peroni Nastro Azzurro Gluten Free was around £7.47 for a four pack at Asda, which is among the lowest prices for that product across UK supermarkets. BrewDog Punk GF was around £5.34. Prices vary with promotions and are not always verifiable against Asda directly, but the mainstream lagers tend to track at or below rival supermarkets.
Does Asda sell naturally gluten free beer?
Only in Scotland. Bellfield Brewery's three naturally gluten free lines (Lawless Village IPA, Bohemian Pilsner, and Mega City IPA) are stocked in approximately 40 selected Asda stores across Scotland as of the July 2024 listing. There are no naturally gluten free beer options in Asda stores in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland, as of June 2026.
Is the gluten free beer at Asda safe for coeliacs?
Most of the nationally stocked range carries Coeliac UK certification and tests below 20ppm, meeting the legal gluten free threshold. However, all of it is gluten removed from barley, not naturally gluten free. A meaningful number of coeliacs report symptoms from gluten removed beer even when it tests below 20ppm. If that applies to you, Asda's national range has nothing for you. The Scotland-only Bellfield beers are naturally gluten free and Coeliac UK certified, which is a different category of safety.
What gluten free ales or IPAs does Asda stock?
BrewDog Punk GF is the one gluten free IPA stocked nationally. Old Speckled Hen Gluten Free and Bath Ales Gem GF provide ale options. The Free From Beer Co Session IPA is a canned craft-adjacent option whose current stocking status could not be confirmed as of June 2026. That is the full extent of it. There is no gluten free stout, porter, or sour anywhere in the Asda range.
