Recently, someone posted asking us to write to The Boston Beer Company asking
them about making a GF beer.  I did, and this is the response I got
 
"Thank you for writing to us about our beer.  You mentioned that you would
like us to consider creating a gluten-free beer.  We have recently had a
number of these types of requests from other people who also unfortunately
suffer from Celiac Sprue.
 
"I asked several of our brewers about your question.   Gluten is a naturally
occurring protein in all cerreal grains.  The amount in finished beer is
probably very minute, but still not 0%.  Our brewers considered this to be an
interesting research product, but unfortunately way beyond their current
scope of work.  I will keep your name in our database and update you with any
more information I receive.  Thanks for writing.  Take care.
Cheers!
The Boston Beer Company

Thought you'd all like to see their response.  Apparently some others wrote
also.
