Because Landlord is brewed with malted barley, it cannot be gluten-free, though the bottled version is low in gluten. Landlord is not vegan as it is clarified with isinglass.

Is Landlord Gluten-Free?
Timothy Taylor’s Landlord is not gluten-free. This is because it is brewed with malted barley which contains gluten. There is currently no gluten-free version of Landlord, though there may be in the future. Greene King has started to brew gluten-free versions of its most popular beers.

What Beer is Similar to Landlord?
I really like Timothy Taylor’s Landlord, but it isn’t the most exciting beer in the world. It’s almost always well kept, has a fine taste, and is a great session beer. There are many beers similar to it, but most beer drinkers would rank Landlord in their top 5 or even top 1.
Fuller’s ESB is a great shout for a similar beer. Then you’ve got Old Speckled Hen, Marston’s EPA, Samuel Smith’s Organic Pale Ale, or Wild Hare Pale Ale from Bath Ales. You’ve also got Abbott Ale, Hobgoblin, Doom Bar, St Austell Tribute, and Fuller’s London Pride.
If you would like to learn more about English pale ales, check out my article on what beer to drink in England. In it, I discuss the different beers that England is famous for, and mention ten of my favourite beers. I also talk about the craft beer revolution that is going on in this country.
While England may not have the international acclaim of Germany or Belgium when it comes to beer, I genuinely believe that our beer culture is massively underrated. Check out my article on the subject to see what I mean.
