Gluten Free Beer

Question

We will be coming to Scottsdale in a few weeks, staying near Old Town.

Will we be able to find gluten free beer at walmart or sprouts? Specifically cans. If so what kinds are the best?

Are there any restaurants/pubs that have GF beer on tap?

Answer

Scottsdale, especially around Old Town, is quite accommodating for gluten-free (GF) options, including beers. Both grocery stores like Walmart and Sprouts, as well as local restaurants and pubs, typically carry gluten-free beers in cans, and there are several popular brands widely available.

For grocery shopping:

Walmart: Most Walmarts in Scottsdale carry canned gluten-free beers, though selection may be limited to popular brands.
Sprouts: Sprouts often has a wider variety of GF beers, including craft and imported options. You can usually find both bottles and cans.

Popular gluten-free canned beers to look for include:

Omission Lager or Omission Pale Ale – brewed to remove gluten, widely available.
Glutenberg Blonde Ale or IPA – Canadian craft GF beers, some cans available.
Redbridge (by Anheuser-Busch) – classic GF beer, easy to find in cans.
Stone Delicious IPA – brewed to remove gluten, often found in larger Walmarts and Sprouts.
New Belgium Glutiny Pale Ale – less common, but some specialty stores carry it.

For restaurants and pubs with GF beer on tap in Scottsdale/Old Town:

Craft 64: A craft beer bar that frequently offers GF beer options on tap.
O.H.S.O. Brewery & Distillery: Offers several GF beers, both in cans and sometimes on tap.
The Whining Pig: Wine-focused, but often carries a small selection of GF beer on tap or in bottles.
AZ Wilderness Brewing Co.: Some locations offer seasonal or rotating GF beer options on tap.

Tips:

Always ask the server or bartender to confirm GF availability as tap selections can rotate frequently.
Check the beer aisle at Sprouts for the most extensive canned options; Walmart may be more limited to major brands like Omission and Redbridge.
If you want variety, you can also check Total Wine or other specialty liquor stores in Scottsdale for canned GF beers.

In summary, you will have no problem finding canned gluten-free beers at Walmart or Sprouts in Scottsdale, with Omission, Redbridge, and Glutenberg among the top choices. Several local breweries and pubs also offer GF beers on tap, so you can enjoy both grocery options and fresh draft selections while staying near Old Town.
