Wadworth is marking Coeliac Awareness Week by making its gluten-free beer, 6X Gold, a permanent addition to its beer range.

Wadworth 6X GoldCertified by Coeliac UK, 6X Gold has been on trial in Wadworth pubs and via its online shop since 2016, and the response has been overwhelming.

The 4.5% ABV hoppy and refreshing ale does not compromise on flavour, with sweet malt and spicy notes on the palate and a zesty aroma.

Brewed with 100% English hops — Admiral, Pilgrim, Pilot and English Cascade — Wadworth has been delighted by the response to its introduction.

Elaine Beckett, head of marketing and communications, said: “We were confident we were on to a winner, with a real need in the market for a great tasting, gluten-free ale.

“The positive reaction to the trial has been really gratifying and totally underpins the innovation by our brewers and just why 6X Gold deserves to be a flagship beer alongside our full range. It’s also a vote of confidence for our overall commitment to catering for those with gluten-free requirements.

“We have 45 Coeliac UK certified pubs with extensive, full, gluten-free menus on offer, so a perfect choice to celebrate the Gluten Freevolution during Coeliac Awareness Week.”

This year, the Coeliac Awareness Week campaign is focusing on on eating out, calling for the Gluten Freevolution.

Its aim is to make eating out, no matter where you are, a pleasurable experience, without the hassle and disappointment that can often come with getting food that’s right for a gluten-free diet.
