Most beer is fluoridated . An exception is Heineken.
There's plenty that aren't.
"he Approved List from Beers Without Fluoride (Updated October 6, 2015)
So far, Beers Without Fluoride has officially awarded these brews the "A" (Acceptable) rating for being brewed with water that has not been treated with fluoride. This list is a growing and living thing and may not be totally up to date. Brewers change locations. BWF solicits any and all corrections of this list. which is far from complete. I welcome your input. Remember you can use your own ingenium to discern whether a beer is unfluoridated or not by using the tools supplied at Beers Without Fluoride's Facebook page.
I have promised in the past to publish the "F" list of fluoridated beers. However, that would consume way too much of my time. So many fine beers are destroyed by fluoridated water that I can't keep up.
Therefore I shall keep updating this "Approved" list quarterly (I hope.).
International Beers
All beers from the following countries are rated "A" due to the fact that water is not fluoridated.
Note: These are not the only countries in the world that do not fluoridate. However they do export beer and BWF recognizes them with the A rating. Be careful when buying some beers with imported names in the USA. They may be brewed in the USA under contract or otherwise and fluoridated water may be used: Beck's is a case in point. Read the label closely.
Belgium
Mexico (There are some high natural fluoride sources such as in Mexico City.)
China
Israel
Austria
Czech Republic (Yes, drink that Pilsner Urquell to your heart's content. Rated A.)
Croatia
Denmark
Estonia
Finland (Some areas have a high natural fluoride water content.)
France
Germany
Greece
Hungary
Latvia
Netherlands
Italy
Norway
Sweden
Germany
Any beer brewed in Germany is fluoride free including Oettinger, Krombacher, Bitburger, Beck's (not the one sold in the USA), Warsteiner, Hasseroder, Veltins, Paulaner, Radeberger and Erdinger. All are rated A.
Beware of Beck's sold in the United States. It is brewed in fluoridated St. Louis by Budweiser. Not only that, but Beck's brewed in the USA does not taste much like German Beck's.
Those who wish to drink a true organic beer brewed with clean water may want to try the great Pinkus Brewery offerings from unfluoridated Germany.
Netherlands
All Dutch beers including Heineken and Grolsch are rated A.
Italy
All Italian beers are rated "A" including Peroni and Moretti, the two most common Italian beers you will find in the USA.
Belgium
All the fine brews of fluoride free Belgium are rated A.
The most commonly seen in the United States are Stella Artois (brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev headquartered in Belgium), Duvel, Bières de Chimay Trappist products, Hoegaarden (a hefeweizen also brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev which I have seen available lately in my local Cornish, Maine market) and the Lindemans Lambic style brews.
Mexico
Any beer brewed in Mexico has been brewed with water untainted by added fluoride mostly by two huge brewers.
Grupo Modelo (50% owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev) sells a lot of Corona and Modelo and Pacifico beer in the United States. Note: Corona and Modelo from Mexico City both have a high natural fluoride content in the water used for brewing. Let the drinker decide.
FEMSA (Cervecería Cuauhtémoc-Moctezuma)) exports Tecate, Sol, Dos Equis, Carta Blanca, and the wonderful Bohemia, among others to the United States.
There are few microbrews coming out of Mexico and all are rated "A" by Beers Without Fluoride.
Denmark
All beers, such as Tuborg, brewed in never-fluoridated Denmark are rated "A" by BWF.
"A" Rated Beers from the United States
---------------------------------------------------
Sierra Nevada beers whether brewed in Chico,California or Asheville, North Carolina.
Red Stripe Beer for the American market is now brewed in unfluoridated Latrobe, Pa., though the brew does not taste much like the Jamaica brewed version.
Rolling Rock Beer is now brewed in Newark, New Jersey which is unfluoridated but I cannot vouch for any other chemicals which may be found in this water.
Ten Barrel Brewing Company from Bend, Oregon, now owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev and therefore a bit more available due to better distribution.
Any brew from Fort Bragg Brewing Company in Fort Bragg, California.
If you are ever in Albuquerque, New Mexico you can safely drink in any brewpub confident in the knowledge that they are rated A in this unfluoridated city.
Spencer Trappist Ale brewed in Spencer, Massachusetts with well water is rated A if you can find it and afford it. It is very good.
Beers from Full Sail Brewing in Fort Hood, Oregon. The Session Lager is a fine summer beer.
All the fine brews from Spoetzl Brewing in Shiner, Texas. I have tasted the Shiner Bock brewed from the brewery's own artesian well and it is quite good and I have found it in Maine.
All of the brews from Lagunitas Brewing Company brewed in unfluoridated Petaluma, California.
Please note that Lagunitas has a brewery in fluoridated Chicago, Illinois. Beers brewed in Chicago are rated F. Illinois has mandatory fluoridation. Unless a brewery uses spring or well water or purifies the public water with reverse osmosis we must rate that beer F.
All products from the Leinenkugel Brewery in Chippewa Falls, WI.
Bear Creek Brews from North Carolina.
Indian Wells Brewing Company in California.
Abita beers brewed in Abita Springs, Louisiana.
Dogfish Head ales brewed in from well water in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
All the fine brews from Butte Creek Brewing in Ukiah, California.
Hangar 24 Craft Brewery of Redlands, California.
Fredericksburg Brewing Company in fluoridated Fredericksburg, Texas uses reverse osmosis which removes fluoride. FBC is rated A.
Jester King in fluoridated Austin uses reverse osmosis or rainwater for brewing and is rated A.
Kaktus Brewery in unfluoridated Bernalillo, New Mexico also uses reverse osmosis and is rated A.
Triton Brewing Company in fluoridated Indianapolis, Indiana uses reverse osmosis and is rated A.
Horseshoe Bend Brewing in Lake Ozark, Missouri is rated A for using unfluoridated water source and the reverse osmosis process.
There are other brewers which use reverse osmosis to a degree but it is difficult to determine which of their offerings or how much of their water is so treated.

Organic Beer Addendum
There are several brewers out there who label their beers as "Organic." That may be true as far as the ingredients they use to brew, but the biggest ingredient in any beer is the water. Many so-called organic brewers use fluoridated water. Here are some of them:
Eel River Brewing in Scotia, California
Wolaver's from Middlebury, Vermont
Peak Organic brewed at the Shipyard Brewery in Portland, Maine
All the above are rated F by BWF
That's the update. Please let me know if there are any errors so they may be corrected."
