Widmer Brothers

Widmer Brothers Brewing is a Portland, Oregon, craft brewery founded in 1984 and the brewer behind Omission, a line of gluten-reduced beers made from malted barley. The Liquor Barn lists Omission Pale Ale (5.8% ABV), Omission IPA (6.7% ABV), Omission Lager (4.6% ABV) and Omission Light (4.2% ABV), all in 6Pks of 12 oz bottles.

Omission is brewed like regular beer from traditional malted barley, then an enzyme breaks down the gluten during brewing. The result tastes like a normal craft beer, which is why it is popular with people who avoid gluten but miss real beer flavor. The Pale Ale is balanced and hoppy, the IPA is the bigger, more bitter option, the Lager is crisp and clean and the Light is the easiest drinking of the four. Gluten-reduced is not the same as gluten-free, so check the label if you have celiac disease.
