Asian beers are believed to have low gluten as they often use rice as one major ingredient and barely malt only to give a typical beer colour. The rate of people with Celiac Disease or Gluten Sensitivity in Asia is lower than in Europe or US mainly because of rice as the main dietary staple and simply the fact that it is underdiagnosed unknowingly. But it becomes more prevalent in countries like China and Thailand with the adoption of western lifestyle. Not only for people who live in Asia but also for travelers a gluten test of your favourite Asian beer might be useful. Please vote below which of the following four famous Asian beers you want me to test next:
Chang: from Thailand

Looks like Tsingtao has won the poll, we await the test results. In the mean time I have had a couple of Tsingtaos with no ill effects. A lovely refreshing beer, great with Asian food as well.

Hi Les, yes Tsingtao is the clear winner. Agreed, it tastes good. Will post the result on Monday or Tuesday latest. Cheers Steffen
