Sponsorship Disclosure
Effective Date: June 16, 2026
GF Beer Society may work with breweries, brands, retailers, distributors, affiliates, advertisers, or industry partners.
This Sponsorship Disclosure explains how we handle paid relationships, donated samples, affiliate links, sponsored placements, and partnership content.
Our Position
GF Beer Society’s credibility depends on trust.
We do not sell scores.
We do not guarantee badges.
We do not promise positive reviews.
We do not hide sponsored relationships.
Sponsored Content
Some content, guide placements, posts, emails, or features may be sponsored or paid.
When content is sponsored, we aim to label it clearly using language such as:
- Sponsored
- Paid Partnership
- Sponsored Placement
- Advertisement
- Partner Feature
Sponsored content does not determine GFBS review scores.
Donated Samples
GF Beer Society may receive beer samples, products, media kits, merchandise, or other items from breweries or brands.
Receiving a product does not guarantee review, positive coverage, score, badge, ranking, or guide inclusion.
Affiliate Links
GF Beer Society may use affiliate links in the future. If we do, we may earn a commission when users purchase through those links.
Affiliate relationships do not determine review scores, rankings, or editorial opinions.
Guide Placements
The 2026 Gluten-Free Beer Guide may include editorial reviews, brewery profiles, sponsored placements, badge explanations, partner features, or other content.
Sponsored placements will be identified where appropriate.
Editorial reviews and paid placements are separate.
Reviews and Sponsorships Are Separate
A brewery or brand may sponsor content and still receive an honest review.
A sponsored relationship does not guarantee:
- A positive review
- A specific score
- A badge
- A ranking
- A recommendation
- Editorial approval
- Guide inclusion
Why This Matters
Gluten-free and celiac-aware drinkers need clear information before they buy.
GF Beer Society is committed to transparency so readers can understand when content is editorial, sponsored, submitted, gifted, or otherwise connected to a brand relationship.
