# Gluten-Free Cookie Stouts Holidaily Brewing Company is Releasing a Creative Cookie-Themed Brew By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2021-01-27 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookie-stout References: [foodandwine](https://www.foodandwine.com/news/gluten-free-oreo-stout-beer) & [holidailybrewing](http://holidailybrewing.com/) This month, Oreo released the first-ever gluten-free version of its cookies and the announcement inspired a Colorado-based brewery to create a Gluten-Free Oreo Stout. The 6.8% ABV stout from [Holidaily Brewing Company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glutenfree-beers) is authentically made with generous amounts of [Gluten-Free Oreos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mightylicious-gluten-free), which are enhanced with gluten-free malts, whole vanilla beans and cacao nibs. Head brewer Alan Windhausen describes that focus was on "accentuating the special Oreo character while making a beer that was approachable and drinkable." The brewery is no stranger to creating beer infused with sweet additions. Previously, Holidaily Brewing Company created a [Brownie Stout](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fairytale-brownies-magic-morsels) and has experimented with other "pastry stout" styles. For years, the brewery has aspired to make a cookie beer and struggled to get the ingredients just right, until the release of the Gluten-Free Oreo cookies. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gluten-free Cookie Beers:** There is an opportunity for breweries to create unique gluten-free beers infused with popular cookie flavors to appeal to the growing market of gluten-sensitive consumers. - **Pastry Stouts:** Breweries can create unique pastry stouts by experimenting with various dessert-inspired flavors to offer consumers a new beer experience. - **Alternative Ingredient Beers:** There is an opportunity for breweries to create beers with alternative ingredients such as gluten-free Oreos to cater to consumers with dietary restrictions or preferences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Gluten-free Food:** Gluten-free food companies can partner with breweries to develop new gluten-free cookie-themed beers, offering more options to gluten-sensitive consumers and expanding their businesses into the beverage market. - **Craft Beer:** Craft beer breweries could expand their product lines by experimenting with different flavors, creating new and innovative beers that appeal to a wider audience. - **Dessert Brands:** Dessert brands like Oreo can collaborate with breweries to create unique cookie-themed beers, leveraging their brand recognition to attract consumers and expand their businesses into the beverage market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minty Gluten-Free Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-mint-gluten-free.md) - [Novel Cookie Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo.md) - [Cookie-Flavored Milk Stouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanutbutter-milk-stout.md) - [Gluten-Free Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-glutenfree-golden-sandwich-cookies.md) - [Stout-Flavored Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/last-crumb-x-guinness.md) - [Cookie-Supported Beer Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levain-bakery1.md) - [Limited-Edition Gluten-Free Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gluten-free-cookie.md) - [Collaborative Gluten-Free Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glutenfree-beers.md) - [Upcycled Gluten-Free Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-chip-crispy-cookies.md)
