Yes, BARHI is 100% gluten-free.
Unlike beer or malt-based drinks, BARHI is brewed entirely from dates and honey, with zero grains or gluten-containing ingredients. That means you get the refreshment and sparkle of a craft beverage without the heaviness or discomfort that many experience with traditional beer.

Why gluten matters in alcohol
Most beers and many spirits are made from grains like barley, wheat, or rye, all of which naturally contain gluten. Even trace residues can make a big difference to people who are coeliacs or simply prefer cleaner, lighter options.
Wine and cider are naturally gluten-free, but they tend to be higher in sugar or calories. That’s where BARHI stands apart: a drink that’s free from gluten but still has a crisp, beer-like satisfaction.
The BARHI difference
BARHI isn’t a beer, cider, or wine, it’s a sparkling mead, made from Barhee dates and pure honey. Those natural ingredients ferment into a refreshing, effervescent drink that’s smooth on the palate and light on the stomach.
- No grains, no gluten: 100% naturally gluten-free.
- Dry, crisp finish: Like beer, but lighter and cleaner.
- Only 0.46 g sugar per 100 ml: No added sugar, no syrupy aftertaste.
- Naturally brewed: No chemicals, additives, or flavourings.
How it feels compared to beer
BARHI delivers a familiar satisfaction, the sparkle, the crisp chill, and the perfect balance with food, but it won’t leave you feeling bloated or heavy. It’s designed for people who love the taste of beer but want something that’s cleaner, modern, and free from gluten.
Perfect for spice lovers
Because it’s dry and lightly carbonated, BARHI pairs beautifully with Indian, Thai, or Chinese dishes, refreshing your palate without masking the flavours.
