The tap list mentions only "German style malts" without naming the grains, and no hop or yeast is named. Because the brewery is dedicated gluten-free, the grains must be gluten-free, but which ones are used is not published.

As category context only, the Brewers Association guidelines for Gluten-Free Beer require every ingredient to be free of gluten, exclude barley, wheat, spelt and rye, and let ABV, IBU and color vary with the underlying style; such beers are judged on their own merits rather than strict style parameters. No published figure conflicts with the guideline, though grains are not named to confirm the gluten-free grist beyond the brewery's dedicated gluten-free status.
