"The ingredients for Molson Ice are water, barley malt, yeast, corn syrup (maltose not high fructose corn syrup), hop extract. While Molson Coors does not offer medical advice on gluten, we know that the majority of celiac support groups advise that beer should be avoided by people with celiac disease. None of the ingredients in Henry Weinhard's sodas are derived from wheat, barley, rye or oats. Sodas do not contain gluten (the caramel coloring in root beer is derived from sugar). Gluten is a protein that can be found in wheat, rye, and barley. Both wheat and barley can be used as raw materials for beer. It is likely that beers made with wheat contain a higher level of gluten than traditional beers. Due to the brewing process and subsequent filtration, beer made from barley malt does not contain large amounts of protein; however some protein is essential for beer quality. Therefore, there is some protein and potentially, traces of gluten left in our products. Please contact your doctor prior to consuming our products if you do have celiac disease."
