What to know about lager
Lager is the crisp, clean-tasting beer that drinkers often assume is the gentle option, but on triggers it is no lighter than any other beer. It is bottom-fermented and cold-conditioned, yet still brewed from barley, so it is high in gluten (grade E) and high in histamine (grade D) from fermentation. The cold, slow fermentation changes the flavor, not the underlying gluten and histamine load.
Watch for
- Made from malted barley, so a lager is not gluten free despite its light, clean taste
- Fermented like every beer, so it is high in histamine and can trigger flushing, congestion or headache
- Cold conditioning smooths the flavor but does not remove the barley gluten or the fermentation histamine
- Moderate tyramine and sulfites can add to the reaction for migraine or sulfite-sensitive drinkers
