Several studies have focused on the production of beer from glutenfree cereals such as rice, maize, millet, and pseudocereals such as buckwheat, quinoa, and amaranth since they are gluten free with compounds that are claimed to have positive effects on health (Arendt and Dal Bello, 2008). Maccagnan et al. (2004) used buckwheat mainly as an unmalted adjunct in micro brewing for the production of gluten free beer. The results of this study revealed that buckwheat has suitable beer-making properties with regard to both appearance and taste. The aim of this work was to evaluate the possible correlation among polyphenols, flavanoids content and antioxidant activity (AA) of craft beers produced with increasing amount of buckwheat (0%, 20% and 40% w/w). All beers were bottle conditioned.

Abstract
Several studies have focused on the production of beer from glutenfree cereals such as rice, maize, millet, and pseudocereals such as buckwheat, quinoa, and amaranth since they are gluten free with compounds that are claimed to have positive effects on health (Arendt and Dal Bello, 2008). Maccagnan et al. (2004) used buckwheat mainly as an unmalted adjunct in micro brewing for the production of gluten free beer. The results of this study revealed that buckwheat has suitable beer-making properties with regard to both appearance and taste. The aim of this work was to evaluate the possible correlation among polyphenols, flavanoids content and antioxidant activity (AA) of craft beers produced with increasing amount of buckwheat (0%, 20% and 40% w/w).
