    So I'm putting on a beer tasting for a few people and it turns out a good friend will be in town. He has an allergy to wheat (NOT gluten, just wheat). I invited him, and he wants to come, but I'm having some trouble identifying which of the beers on my list have wheat. Any ideas? I don't want him to be sick.

    -BFM by Abbaye De Saint Bon-Chien
    -Old Foghorn 2011
    -Olde Blue Hair by Big Sky
    -Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier
    --- According to a clone recipe here, no wheat.

    -Local 2 by Brooklyn Brewing
    -Monster Ale 2010
    -Oud Beersel Oude Kriek Vieille
    --- According to their website, has wheat.

    -Brouwerij Strubbe Grand Cru Flemish Red
    -Black Butte Porter 2012
    --- Confirmed, has wheat.

    -The Abyss 2011
    --- Clone recipes include wheat malt. Most likely?

    -Dogfish Head Festina Peche
    ---Has wheat.

    -Epic Brewing Sour Apple Saison

    -1554
    ---Confirmed, website says NO wheat!

    -Old Stock Ale 2011 & 2012
    ---Clones do not use wheat. Maybe?

    -Ommegang Abbey Ale
    ---All clones no wheat. Most likely not.

    -Ommegang Three Philosophers

    Who's got time for that amount of research? Hopefully you - if you're a good friend!

    Epic Sour Apple and Brainless on Raspberries both have Muntons Wheat malt in them, per the recent batch notes on their website. GI Lolita does not, but all of their Saisons do.

    Abyss has wheat, shows all grains right on their website

    toastermm - Abbey and Three Philosophers are both wheat free. Enjoy your tasting, looks like a pretty solid lineup.
