According to Don Kasarda, research food scientist on this list, quinoa has
no gluten in it.  I've eaten it for years with no negative results.  I'm
no scientist and not a doctor, but from personal experience quinoa has not
been a problem.  If you react negatively, you might let the list know, as
I believe most information on this list has been that quinoa is safe.

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that anything in the beer
making process would change the potentially harmful effects of the beer.
No commercial beer has been show to be Gluten Free.

Malt is almost always made from barley.  In the US, Budwiser's grain
chemists did not see any potential for removing or changing the malt.

Symptoms or lack of symptoms are not an indicator of the toxicity of a
protein.  In fact each grain has a varying degree of toxicity, when
compared to the other grains (wheat, rye, oats, and barley).

Some countries do allow "small amounts" of gluten in the diet.  Who is
to say that they are right or wrong; I would like to avoid that issue.
