O moments
Since launching Omission beer, we’ve heard so many great stories from our fans about their experiences with Omission beer. Some of our fans haven’t been able to enjoy a beer brewed with traditional beer ingredients for a long time. Others have never tried a craft beer brewed with malted barley. We like to call these moments of discovery 
Moments. If you've tried Omission, we'd love to hear from you.

It isn’t just what we took out, it’s what we left in.
We’re committed to ensuring that every bottle of Omission beer meets our team’s standards. Each batch of Omission Pale Ale and Omission Lager is tested by an independent lab using the R5 Competitive ELISA for gluten content. Although there is scientific evidence supporting this testing, the evidence is not conclusive. Omission beer may contain gluten.
See your bottle’s test results: the date code stamped on every bottle of Omission beer corresponds to a batch of Omission Lager or Omission Pale Ale, and you can use that code to view your bottle’s test results. Enter the code from your bottle and take comfort in knowing the results of your beer’s R5 Competitive ELISA test results.
F.A.Q
Omission Lager contains 140 calories, 11 grams carbs and 2 grams protein per 12-ounce serving. Omission Pale Ale contains 175 calories, 15 grams carbs and 2 grams protein per 12-ounce serving.
According to federal guidelines, we aren’t legally allowed to claim that Omission beer is gluten-free outside of Oregon because the beer is brewed with malted barley. While the FDA proposed to define the term “gluten-free,” that definition has not been formally adopted by the organization.
Part of the definition proposed in 2007, and again in 2011, states that a product may not be labeled as gluten-free if it contains “an ingredient that is derived from a prohibited grain that has been processed to remove gluten, if the use of that ingredient results in the presence of 20 parts per million (ppm) or more gluten in the food.”
While Omission beer does contain barley, one of the “prohibited grains” in this definition, all batches are tested by an independent lab using the R5 Competitive ELISA to ensure that gluten levels meet our standards. Although scientific evidence supports the testing, the evidence is not conclusive. All Omission beer test results can be viewed at: www.omissiontests.com
