What is gluten?
	ANSWER:  Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, triticale and oats. It is generally acknowledged that the gluten protein in oats is less toxic than that found in other grains containing gluten. For more information contact The Coeliac Society of Australia.
	Why are O'Brien Beers gluten free?
	ANSWER: Unlike conventional beers, we only use gluten free raw materials, namely gluten free grains such as millet, rice and sorghum, instead of the traditional barley and wheat which contain gluten.
	A lot of breweries claim that their beer is gluten free, so how can O'Brien Brewing guarantee the gluten free status of O'Brien Beer?
	ANSWER: Some beers do have a low level of gluten and some breweries claim to filter the gluten out of their beer, but they all brew their beers using barley or wheat and they all contain varying amounts of gluten. O'Brien Brewing can only make the gluten free claim if we meet the stringent requirements of Food Standards Australia New Zealand.
	Isn't yeast grown in a raw beer solution?
	ANSWER: Generally, yeast is propagated (i.e. grown) in wort (i.e. raw beer prior to fermentation) which traditionally is produced from barley or wheat malt, however the yeast that O'Brien Brewing use in fermenting O'Brien Beers is propagated in a gluten free sugar solution.
	OK, so does it taste like "real" beer?
	ANSWER: Yes, many people without a gluten intolerance who have tasted O'Brien Beer are blown away by O'Brien Beer's presentation, taste and aroma. As a natural craft brewed beer, you will find it superior to most commercially produced traditional beers on the market today.
	Where or how can I get O'Brien Beer?
	ANSWER: Australians can order O'Brien Beer via the telephone, facsimile, mail or here on this website. For everyone else, we are currently investigating several export options, including the UK, NZ, Europe and the USA.
	What about restaurants that restrict BYO to wine only?
	ANSWER: Insist that your favourite restaurants stock O'Brien Beer. They can order O'Brien Beer directly from O'Brien Brewing.
	Does O'Brien Brewing attend exhibitions, fairs and shows?
	ANSWER: We intend to be fairly active in attending food and beverage industry events. Keep a look out on this website for information relating to these events. Also, feel free to contact us with details of upcoming events in your area that we may be interested in attending.
