Is Guinness 0.0 gluten-free?

No—the official ingredient list does not support a gluten-free conclusion. Guinness lists malted barley, barley, and roasted barley for Guinness 0.0. Barley is a gluten-containing grain, so the fact that the beer is alcohol-free does not answer the gluten question.
This answer applies to the exact product and market represented by the source below. It is not a promise about every package, country, restaurant location, or future recipe. Ingredient lists and allergen statements can change, so the package or menu information in front of you remains the final check.
The Guinness product page explains that the beer is brewed with water, barley, hops, and yeast before alcohol is removed by cold filtration. Its displayed ingredients separately name malted barley, barley, and roasted barley. The process description does not say gluten is removed or that the finished product carries a gluten-free claim.

“0.0” refers to alcohol content, not gluten content. Alcohol and gluten are different substances, and filtering out alcohol does not by itself remove the proteins relevant to celiac disease. In U.S. labeling guidance, barley is one of the grains naturally containing gluten.
Product names and front-of-pack phrases are not enough for an allergy or celiac decision. “Original,” “nature,” “flourless,” “vegan,” “0.0,” and similar terms describe flavor, formulation, or marketing; none automatically means free from a particular allergen. The useful evidence is the current ingredient list, Contains statement, advisory wording, and any explicit regulated free-from claim.
Practical decision: someone following a strict gluten-free plan should not substitute Guinness 0.0 merely because it is non-alcoholic. Look for a beverage with a clear gluten-free claim that fits the person's plan.
This page can identify relevant words in a published ingredient list and explain why they matter. It cannot diagnose an allergy, establish an individual's reaction threshold, verify cleaning procedures, or guarantee that a different lot has the same recipe. A person with a diagnosed allergy or celiac disease should follow their clinician's plan and the current manufacturer information.
You can also paste the label into the ingredient allergen checker, browse the Ryla food label guides, or learn how the Ryla iPhone scanner helps flag terms while shopping. Those tools are screening aids; they do not replace the physical label.

Yes. FDA gluten guidance identifies barley as a grain that naturally contains gluten.
It is a separate non-alcoholic product, but both use barley ingredients according to Guinness.
