Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.On October 18, one of Spain's biggest brewers, Estella Damm, introduced its gluten-free "real beer tasting" Daura, originally Estrella Damm Apta Para Celíacos, to the US market.
Daura is presently available in twelve nations around the world (Australia, UK, Germany) and holds the title of "World's Best Gluten-Free Beer" for 2008 and 2009.
The makers explain their proprietary brewing process is what sets Daura apart from other beers in this category (Australia's O'Brien Brown Ale, Birra 76 Bi-Aglut by Heineken, Celia Saison by The Alchemist in Vermont).
"The gluten protein [is stripped] from the barley malt, leaving only the 'real beer' taste.
"DAURA's gluten content level is less than 6 parts per million (ppm), far below the 20 ppm required for gluten free products, according to the Codex Alimentarious, the international food and drinks standard set by the World Health Organization and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization."
Justin Fisch, the marketing director of US Beverage, said "DAURA is a light, smooth and refreshing lager beer, which has been embraced by global beer lovers whether gluten intolerant or not."

A Daura 4-pack costs $7.99/€5.80 and can now be found in these American stores: Whole Foods, Publix, Harris Teeter, Total Wine & Spirits and BevMo.
