We don’t run any industry standard testing for gluten levels so we can’t make any claims about how high or low gluten levels are in our beers. However, we do use an enzyme to control haze levels in a few of our beers that indirectly lowers gluten content.
The beers that occasionally use this enzyme are Cool, Dipper, Sfizio, Animal, Park, and Villager.

At our Lower Haight taproom we offer new stainless steel Fort Point growlers for purchase, available with or without a fill of beer.
For refills, due to the pandemic, our current growler fill policy is to only do refills for growlers with a swing top to ensure the safety and health of our team and patrons at our taprooms.
We also offering customers the ability to purchase a brand new growler filled with 64 ounces of beer for delivery through Fort Point Direct.
Once the beer is first placed in a vacuum-sealed growler, it is good for up to 5 days. After you break the initial seal and the cap is opened, beer is best if consumed within 24 hours.
Unfortunately, the Fort Point brewery is a production facility only and closed to the public. We’re located on federal land which makes it a bit tricky to host people or open a bar (trust us, we know you guys want it and that it would be awesome! 😉 Maybe one day.).
Not at this time!
We’re always looking for great people to join our team! Check out our open positions at fortpointbeer.com/jobs.
