Celiac Safety Score

55
Moderate Safety

Lion's Tail Brewing Co. brings a glimmer of hope for gluten-free beer lovers with a separate menu featuring brews from ALT Brew—a fully dedicated gluten-free brewery. That said, the taproom itself isn't a dedicated gluten-free space, and there's no clear word on cross-contamination protocols for serving or draft lines. Honestly, it's refreshing to see real celiac-friendly beer options in a craft setting, but if you're extra sensitive, it's worth asking questions before you raise a glass. For many in our community, just having access to safe GF beer is a small victory, but this isn't the spot for those needing ironclad celiac safety.
