Rooster’s Brewing Co has revamped its core range for 2025 with the addition of four new gluten-free beers, available across cask, keg, and can.
Yorkshire’s Best — initially available in cask, with cans to follow in the coming weeks — is a gluten-free modern classic bitter. Approachable at 3.8% ABV, it’s smooth, amber in colour, and packed with character courtesy of a blend of three British hops.
Following a very positive response to its release as a limited edition beer towards the end of 2024, Good As Hell, a Helles lager, has stepped up to become a premium fixture in Rooster’s range.
At 4.9% ABV, Good As Hell is being joined by another new addition to the brewery’s keg and can range in the shape of Haus Lager. At 4.2% ABV and also gluten free, as well as being vegan friendly, in line with every beer in Rooster’s core range, Haus Lager provides an approachable, fresh, and crisp option for lager fans.
Fans of the Baby-Faced Assassin, Rooster’s flagship Citra IPA, will be pleased to hear that a new member of the Assassin family will become a permanent fixture in Rooster’s range. Hazy-Faced Assassin is a gluten-free hazy IPA that’s initially available in keg only, with cans to follow in the spring.

At 5.7% ABV, Hazy-Faced Assassin, juicy and laden with tropical fruit flavours from a combination of Citra and Galaxy hops, rewards drinkers with the trademark deceptive drinkability associated with its namesake and will sit alongside Easy-Going Assassin to complete the range of gluten free beers in the new-look range.
“2025 is shaping up to be another exciting year for the brewery and will see Rooster’s remain at the forefront of the indie beer industry,” said sales director Ian Galbraith.
“Whether you’re a fan of traditional bitters, crisp lagers, or bold IPAs, we believe our range offers something for every palate.
“To now have no fewer than five gluten-free beers, as well as being vegan friendly, along with the rest of our core range is a great step forward as we continue to bang the drum for the importance of great tasting independent beer.”
