One of Spain’s biggest brewers, Estella Damm, introduces its gluten-free “real beer tasting” Daura, to the US market.
Currently available in twelve nations around the world (Australia, UK, Germany), Daura holds the title of “World’s Best Gluten-Free Beer” for 2008 and 2009. No gluten free category was included in the 2010 contest.
Daura does not use specialty grains, like some gluten free beers. Brewers have produced a number of specialty grain beers by non-gluten grain ingredients such as the popular buckwheat and sorghum, as well as rice, maize, corn, sunflower, amaranth, flax, millet, quinoa, teff, wild rice, soybean, ragi and rape.
Daura has been de-glutened through the brewing process. “The gluten protein [is stripped] from the barley malt, leaving only the ‘real beer’ taste.”
“DAURA’s gluten content level is less than 6 parts per million (ppm), far below the 20 ppm required for gluten free products, according to the Codex Alimentarious, the international food and drinks standard set by the World Health Organization and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.”
A Daura 4-pack costs $7.99 retail and can now be found in these American stores: Whole Foods, Publix,
Harris Teeter, Total Wine & Spirits and BevMo.

Just what you've been looking for! Have you tried it?
No not yet. I have tried Bard's gluten free beer and it wasn't that bad. I am looking forward to finding a trying this beer.
