UPDATE 30/09/2024: Dear all, thank you very much for all your comments, for your emails, donations, offers to host the site etc. I am overwhelmed by your feedback and the kind words. And fortunately I found a way of reducing the costs of the site. It was mainly related to an older PHP version I was running which required extended (expensive) support. I will keep the site alive as long as I can. There will be not many new posts or tests but at the least all the information will not get lost. Cheers Steffen
Dear all,
After more than 10 years I will shut down the site by the end of 2024 due the massively increased costs for hosting. I know there is a huge demand for gluten test results for beer and I hope you found some useful information here. I would like to thank all visitors and contributors of my site and wish you all the best for your health – with or without a nice bottle of beer ( I for sure will have one 🙂 )
Cheers Steffen

I’m sorry to hear this, I’ve had great use out of your test results over the years and I regularly visit to use it as a reference. I’ll have to printscreen your results so I can access them (entirely for my own private use) in the future.
Thank you so much for keeping this site up and running all these years and performing these tests!

This is a tragedy! Is there nothing that can be done? You are the reason I am able to enjoy a handful of common beers once again. Maybe we can start a GoFundMe or something? I would hate to see this site go down.
Gustav Forsryd
Nooo. That’s Soo sad. I love the site and shared it with many friends. Please let us help you by donating. What’s your costs. Ads maybe? This is the only siste I’ve found which tha data on ordinary beers.
Please add a goal bar on the website and PayPal link so we can contribute.
Austin
^Agreed. Set up a goal bar. I’d even set up monthly payments. This resource is far too valuable to loose.
Austin
Or switch your hosting provider! Please don’t shut down 🙁
Mathias
Please, make a headliner on the frontpage with a donation goal! This site is too valuable not to be founded by the readers! If you’re not interested in continuing running this site, please let me know and I will be happy to take over.
Austin Kelley
Yes!!^ Please let someone take over please! I rely on this site so much!
Simon van der Jagt
More than happy to donate to this!
Hosting, but also any other expenses you have doing this should be covered. For those who use the site it’s super valueable. We spend money on buying beers so makes sense to spend a bit on helping the person that is enabling us to do so!

Hi Steffen,
I have used this site many times to give guidance to my 2 celiac children on their beer selections, and I have found it very useful.
i have sent you a message via the Contact form, to understand more about your decision, and to see what could be done to keep the site available for everyone to enjoy.

Pipe down guys, pretty sure it’ll be back up at some point, trust.
Justin

Cheers,
