Busch beer is NOT gluten free because it contains barely which is a grain that naturally has gluten in it.

While some specific beer brands have gluten free options, and they mostly either just don’t use grains that contain gluten, or use a process where they filter out the gluten protein out of the beer while making it, Busch does not, and therefor it is not safe to drink by people with Celiac or people avoiding gluten.
