Looking for gluten-free or alcohol-free beer in Hackney? At El Dude Brothers there's a gluten-free beer on draught, currently Pretty Decent's GF Pale from Forest Gate, plus low and no-alcohol options. We're on Westgate Street, a 5-minute walk from London Fields station.
If you're coeliac, cutting back or not drinking at all, you usually get one sad bottle at the back of the fridge. We think you should get a proper pint, from the tap, like everyone else.
Gluten-free beer on draught
Right now our gluten-free pint is Pretty Decent GF Pale, a hoppy pale ale from Pretty Decent Beer Co in Forest Gate, East London.
Gluten-free beer on tap, not just in a can
Marked “gf” on our draught list
Pints from £5 to £7.50 across the board
Ask the bar for a taster first if you like.
Gluten-free vs gluten-removed: what coeliacs should know
Brewed gluten-free: made from grains without gluten, such as millet, sorghum or rice
Gluten-removed (deglutenised): brewed with barley or wheat, then treated so gluten falls below 20 parts per million
In the UK, both can be labelled “gluten-free” if they test under 20ppm
Many coeliacs drink both without a problem, but some prefer brewed-gluten-free only
If you're unsure, ask us and we'll show you the can or keg label.
Alcohol-free and low-alcohol options
Not drinking, or just taking it easier? We keep a low and no-alcohol range behind the bar, and it gets a big push every Dry January (see what's on). Lighter options from the bar include:
Pretty Decent Session IPA, a lighter session pale on draught
Spritzes: Aperol, Hugo and Campari, £12, lighter than a cocktail
Wine by the 125ml glass, from £4.90, across all 12 wines
