(Filtering is usually done at breweries with DE or synthetic media in a plate filter; fining is the process of clarifying beer by adding an ingredient - like egg whites, gelatin, or isinglass - that causes proteins and other haze to settle out in a conditioning vessel.)" Double check: The beer is brewed after the strict Bavarian Purity Law, the oldest law for alimentary products. This means the beer contains only malted barley, water, hops and yeast. Water is tertiary water from our own deep well, the barley is from fields of our area around Aying, hops comes from Holledau/Hallertau - also in Bavaria and yeast is produced from our own pure cell yeast cultures for bottom fermentation. 0049 (0)8095 88-0 Green Vegan Friendly Aying-Brauerei-Brewery 2010-01-27T11:38:41+00:00 http://www.ayinger-bier.de/

All of the beer that we package for distribution to bars & stores qualifies as vegetarian. Occasionally, we will make specialty batches that may contain honey for our own pub or selected festivals. The most prominent is Eccentric Ale, a beer we make once a year in a very limited quantity. Customers can ask any of the bartenders at the Eccentric Cafe in Kalamazoo for information about the specialty taps. I should specifically mention that our Bell's Double Cream Stout does not contain any dairy-derived ingredients: the name refers to the creamy texture, not actual cream or lactose. You can find a list of our major brands at http://www.bellsbeer.com/brands.asp. <b>Update 2006-12-15</b>: Gary from Bell's wrote in with a warning about Hopslam Ale: I am writing to update you as to the status of a beer we launched as a new fall seasonal. Called Hopslam Ale, it broadly falls into the category of Imperial IPA (we're not big on style guidelines here). It does, however, contain honey as a source of fermentable sugar. Language to that effect was left off the initial run of labels, but I believe that will be corrected next season. I have already revised my standard reply to questions on whether our beers are vegan, and the presence of honey should be stated on our website as soon as we publish the next revision. Company email 2 via Rick: All Bell's products are vegan, with these exceptions: (1) Hopslam Ale (contains honey) (2) Eccentric Ale (contains honey) (3) No "specialty brews" served at their bar should be considered vegan without consulting with the bartender/brewmaster, as others may contain honey. 269-382-2338 49053 Yellow MI Mostly Vegan Friendly Bells-Brewery-Inc 2008-07-09T04:05:44+00:00 http://www.bellsbeer.com/

Beer Jason Gardner Gardner Ale House USA 2006-12-15T04:26:13+00:00 978-669-0097 114 Company email: My name is Dave and I'm the brewer for the Gardner Ale House in Gardner, Massachusetts. We have a 7 bbl brewery here and serve beer on site only (no distributing), although we do fill half-gallon jugs to go. The only ingredients we use here are natural and we don't use honey (although we have considered it). The ingredients that I have used up to this point are as follows: barley, hops, yeast, water, Irish moss, and unpasteurized apple cider. We don't filter our beer at all. We use no isinglass, no gelatin, no bone char, etc. If you are wondering about Irish moss, it is all natural, made from seaweed. Irish moss "is a species of red algae (Chondrus crispus) which grows abundantly along the rocky parts of the Atlantic coast of Europe and North America". ( from Wikipedia) We use Irish moss as a kettle coagulant. Carageenan is the protein found in Irish moss which makes it useful to us brewers. Carageenan carries a net negative charge on its particle. Most of the proteins that leach out of the malted barley during the mashing process carry a net positive charge. Adding Irish moss in the boil (the sweet liquid, wort, is boiled for stability and hop utilization) causes the positively charged proteins to coagulate together around the negatively charged carageenan particles. This causes protein "clumps" to form which then have a much easier time falling to the bottom of the tank. So, you could call Irish moss an all natural way to help clarify beer. Every brewer I know uses it to some degree. Anyway, we at the Gardner Ale House take pride that our beer is not only all natural, but unfiltered as well, leaving the beer as wholesome and fresh as could possibly be. Our beer might not always be perfectly clear as a result, but the flavor is unbeatable, and it is nice to know that we can call our beer vegan. I hope this helps your list. By the way, right now we have 6 of our own fresh house brews on tap: Facelift IPA, Oma's Altbier, Naked Stout, Snow Slaker Winter Lager, Summer's End Kolsch, and William Tell's Apple Ale.

The most widely recognized among these ingredients is the water. The crystal-clear water emerges from 40 underground springs. Barley, the most important solid ingredient, gives beer its color and basic body and flavor. It is grown by approximately 900 contract farmers in the mountain valleys of Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. Hops give our beer its distinctive flavor and aroma. Coors uses a combination of aromatic and bitter hops grown in Germany, France, and New Zealand. We also use domestic hops grown in Washington, Idaho and Oregon. Extract, derived from corn, is the last ingredient in our beer. It is the food for yeast to grow.

There is therefore no likelihood of measurable amounts of the isinglass remaining. With cask beer the isinglass is added in cask and the beer is sedimented in the pub cellar. The sediment remains at the bottom of the cask and the clarified beer is served. There is therefore a possibility of trace amounts of isinglass being in the beer. We do not recommend our beers to either vegans or vegetarians because of the use of isinglass as a clarifying aid but leave the decision whether to drink them up to the individual.

We value your interest in our company and the Grolsch Premium Lager brand. Introduced in 1615, Grolsch is currently the second best-selling lager in the Netherlands and one of the top import brands in the United States. Brewed using the finest natural ingredients, Grolsch has a naturally high carbonation which produces a creamy head and a smooth, full-bodied taste. Grolsch is brewed using completely naturally processes and no animal by-products (isinglass, gelatin, cartilage, etc.) are used to brew the beer. For reference, Grolsch received the "Best Vegetarian Beer" award in 2003 from the UK Vegetarian Society (http://www.vegsoc.org/press/pressarchive/2003/pr50.html ). We hope this information is helpful, and that you're able to raise a pint of Grolsch again soon! Additional email: "I�ve been to the Grolsch Brewery (which is 10 km from my house) and asked if their beer is vegan friendly. They told me it is 100%." Another inquiry re: Carling Black Label (which isn't vegan friendly) also stated that "Grolsch is our product which is suitable for vegetarians and vegans" Green Vegan Friendly Grolsch 2008-10-17T04:34:27+00:00 http://www.grolsch.com

Beer Kristy Guinness 2006-08-31T03:39:00+00:00 Karolina, James, Jac, Brian, Kevin M jason 26 So the Extra Stout in North America might be vegan friendly, but we've gotten so many contradictory responses from these guys over the years that we've pretty much given up. ....May 2009 "In reference to your inquiry, we do not have confirmation of Guinness 250th Anniversary stout Edition to be considered Vegan. Isinglass, a fish product, is used during the clarification process as a magnet to get rid of excess yeast. To the strict Vegan, this would be considered an animal product and therefore unsuitable for Guinness products. Since this applies to Guinness products, it is more likely that this also applies to the Guinness 250th Anniversary stout Edition." ....another from May 2009 "In reference to your inquiry, isinglass, a fish product, is used during the clarification process as a magnet to get rid of excess yeast. To the strict Vegan, this would be considered an animal product and therefore unsuitable. " ....Jan 2009 "In reference to your inquiry, isinglass, a fish product, is used during the clarification process as a magnet to get rid of excess yeast. To the strict Vegan, this would be an animal product and unsuitable. I hope this helps. Once again, thank you for contacting us." ....Jan 2009 I showed them your web page and they explained (below is a small part of the email in case you want to quote it) that the extra stout is vegan and the draught is not, which explained the discrepancy. Hope that helps. James "In regards to your inquiry, Guinness Extra Stout does not contain isinglass. Guinness Draught does contain isinglass in both bottles and the draught." .....Aug 2006: Our Consumer Relations department has informed us that the Guinness Extra Stout product that you will find in the North American market does not contain isinglass. I hope this is the answer you were looking for. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. ...But then we got this one in November: In reference to your inquiry, isinglass, a fish product, is used during the clarification process as a magnet to get rid of excess yeast. To the strict Vegan, this would be an animal product and unsuitable. Did they not know about the Extra Stout? Does this cancel out the previous message? Who knows? ...And then there's the standard reply: Thank you for taking the time to contact us and for your interest in Guinness Draught nutritional information. In reference to your inquiry, isinglass, a fish product, is used during the clarification process as a magnet to get rid of excess yeast.

This is the only animal product which Scottish & Newcastle UK ever uses in beer production. Isinglass has been used in beers for centuries as a clarification agent during beer conditioning. In keg and small pack beers, there is very little, if any finings left in the finished product as it settles out with the yeast, and any residues are removed during the filtration process. In cask beers, however, finings is added to the beer when it is packaged to assist the settling of the live yeast that is an integral part of cask conditioning. Cask beers, then, will always have some finings in the cask, but if the beer has been treated properly in the pub and isn't cloudy, the sediment containing the majority of finings remains at the bottom of the cask and very little carries through to the finished product. Unfortunately, fish finings work so well that all attempts by brewers to find a suitable alternative have by and large been unsuccessful. There has been no concern over health aspects, as no consumer ill effects have ever been reported over the many, many years that finings have been used. Although the conclusion drawn is that there is little, if any, finings in the finished product, it is advised that as the product may contain traces of finings that we do not say it is suitable for vegetarians.' With regards to our ciders, three of our products, Strongbow Sirrus, Bulmers Original and Jacques use an animal product as a colouring material. Our other ciders do not use any animal products as ingredients. However some of our processes occasionally use isinglass finings as a clarifying agent and as such we can't guarantee that any of our ciders are suitable for vegetarians."

Many brewers use a isinglass, or other shellfish derivative, for clarifying purposes after the beer has fermented before bottling or kegging. I have personally done a lot of research on the subject, not because of the vegan angle, but because i know a few people, including a cousin, that are deathly allergic to shellfish. It turns out that most of the clarifying derivatives on the market are refined to the point that there are no actual shellfish proteins present, which would cause allergic reaction, only specific minerals which act to "cling" to remaining particulate in the beer and drop it from suspension. This information comes from the Medical Research Director at Purdue University. As such, I do not think anyone's vegan status or allergies would necessarily be compromised, but we have decided to just avoid the use altogether. The complete ingredients for our flagships are as follows... Farm Girl Saison: malted barley, hops, pure beet sugar, orange peel, irish moss, belgian yeast, and water. Pale Ale: malted barley, hops, grapefruit peel, irish moss, american ale yeast, and water.

Company Reply: "Brewers worldwide have used Isinglass for the clarification of beer in storage for decades. Due to the introduction of new allergen labeling legislation, Australia's brewers ceased using fish finings late in 2003. Foster's assessed many alternatives for its replacement and selected a collagen based process aid, derived from Australian beef. The Australian Food Standards Code permits the use of this processing aid. Our filtration process removes yeast and finings. We do continually reassess and evaluate our processes and the process aids we utilize. As such, we are presently reviewing an alternative, which is not derived from animals."

We don't use animal derived products in our beers, nor as lubricant in the process equipment for making beer or our packaging materials. Finings, such as Isinglass, Irish Moss or gelatin, are commonly added to fermented beers to aid in the settling of yeast and other suspended particles. We do not use finings in our beers. We eliminate the need for finings by thoroughly settling and removing trub before fermentation. Additionally, the beechwood we add to our lagering tanks attracts and holds back the yeast. After a lengthy 3 weeks of aging, most yeast has well settled onto the beechwood at the bottom of the tank and will stay there when the beer moves forward. These are some of the techniques we use so that our beers can be all-Natural without the use of additives, stabilizers, preservatives or finings. Also, none of our beers contain egg or dairy. The only one of our beers that is brewed with honey is our Michelob Honey Lager. We use natural light amber wildflower honey harvested in the Northern Plains and the Great Lakes areas of the United States." 1-888-Michelob Yellow MO Most Varieties Vegan Friendly Michelob-Brewing-Co 2009-12-09T15:08:11+00:00 http://www.michelob.com

Beer Tina New Glarus New Glarus Brewing USA 2006-12-07T05:01:00+00:00 Katie 110 UPDATE: September 2008 Company Email: "We share your passion for animals and no we do not use isinglass. You may be interested to know that actually we utilize a centrifuge for the vast majority of our yeast removal." Tina's account: Beers offered: Spotted Cow, Fat Squirrel, Yokel, Hop Hearty, Uff-da Bock, Coffee Stout, Copper Kettle Weiss, Abbey Ale, Hometown Blonde, Bavarian Weiss, Staghorn, Organic Pale Ale, Totally Naked, Belgian Red, Raspberry Tart, Road Slush, and Unplugged (which, I think, varies - in other words, I think "Unplugged" is like, the name of a series of random beers - "Cherry Stout" and "Enigma" were brewed in 2006). Okay, I hastily, but clumsily, dialed the brewery one sweltering summer afternoon, in the midst of sucking down my third Fat Squirrel (as alcohol has that very handy effect of stripping away one's inhibitions), to satisfy that nagging feeling in my gut that I never did confirm my beverage of choice was, in fact, free of non-vegan nastiness. Much to my surprise, I was transferred directly to the owner, Deb Carey, who seemed happy to answer my questions, despite my slurring and belching: me: Uhh.... do you guys, um, use like, isinglass or like, any other animal products to filter any of your brews? 'Cuz I heard like, it's pretty common to use that kinda stuff in a brewery...where you make beer...and stuff. Deb: We don't use isinglass or gelatin or any other animal products whatsoever in the brewing or filtering process. Most of our beers aren't filtered, actually. me: Cool..uh..okay, so yeah, that's cool, 'cuz, you know, I really wanna keep drinkin' your beer. It's totally awesome! Deb: We're glad you like it. me: Okay, so what about like, honey, and stuff. Do you guys like, put honey or whatever in any of your beers (belch)? Heh, 'scuse me. Deb: No. So there you have it.

Second mail: As you may know, Rolling Rock and Rolling Rock Green Light are brewed by Anheuser-Busch and all Anheuser-Busch beers are brewed using water, yeast, barley malt, hops, and sometimes additional cereal grains. They do not contain any animal ingredients, nor do we use any animal-derived products as lubricant in our brewing or packaging equipment. Isinglass finings are commonly added to beers to aid in the settling of yeast and other suspended particles. Anheuser-Busch eliminates the need for finings by thoroughly settling and removing particles before fermentation. Additionally, our beechwood aging process helps to attract and remove yeast from the brew before the lagering process has ended. Green Vegan Friendly Rolling-Rock 2007-06-11T04:50:58+00:00

(Not too many other areas outside of CA get kegs of Russian River) Yay, this is so exciting (Pliny the Elder is considered by most to be the best example of that style - Imperial/Double IPA)" UPDATE: JULY 2009 via KevinM " Russian River started out as a small brewpub. At the brewpub they use gelatin to fine all of the beers for clarification purposes. This year, they started a production brewery to go along with the brewpub. They were able to score a nice centrifuge (big machine that spins the beer around to get the yeast out) for this. At that production facility they make Pliny the Elder (Double IPA), Blind Pig (IPA), and Damnation (Belgian Golden Strong Ale). They bottle those beers and distribute them all over the country. However, they also keg those beers (kegged => served on tap) and ship them to a few select markets outside of California. (Philadelphia being one of them - yay for me!) There's a good chance most other markets outside of California, Philly, and NYC don't even get draft Russian River stuff. So.... Blind Pig, Damnation, and Pliny the Elder on draught in bars, or in bottles = good Anything else (primarily only in bottles - these are barrel aged mostly sour beers) = bad Anything served in their brewpub in California = bad Here's the email I got from Vinnie on Friday: Kevin, Yes, the draft that makes it out to Philly is run through the centrifuge as well. Vinnie" UPDATE: JULY 2009 via Nicole "The bottles of Blind Pig IPA Pliny the Elder, and Damnation do not employ gelatin in the production process. They are ALWAYS made at our production brewery where we make beer in larger quantities and thus use a centrifuge to remove the yeast and not gelatin, we end up with the same results as we do at the pub where we use the gelatin."

This allows us to create ales and lagers with superior flavor, aroma, balance and character. All our bottled beer is brewed, filtered and packaged without the use of isinglass, bone char or any other animal byproduct. Our beers are brewed with two row malted barley, whole cone hops, yeast and water. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is one of our bottle conditioned beers. Bottle conditioning is unique to our style of beer. We dose back a small amount of yeast in the bottle. The yeast ferments the priming sugar and creates the finish carbonation and flavors unique to our beer. Currently, we are using very small amounts (less than 1/2 of 1% by weight) of potentially four different GMO free dextrose's in our priming's, some of the starch may have been derived from corn but is converted to nearly 100% fermentable sugar and is completely converted to alcohol and CO2.

The woman sounded like she was having a crap day and was a bit confused by the question, but she asked someone and said that none of their beers use animal products in the brewing process. I asked if that also included the filtering process, and she said yes. Even so, I'm sure a double-check couldn't hurt. Their site shows a centerfuge in one step, and a filter (of unknown composition) in the final stage. Looks and sounds promising."

My hefewiezen, pilsner, vienna and cask are the only vegan beers we have on tap all the time. I guess if i felt their was a larger demand for a variety of vegan beers i would make more of them. I use finnings to clarify my ales, and as you mentioned, this inhibits them from being vegan. If i do not clarify my beers, the yeast not only makes them cloudy and unpresentable, but it also creates an unpleasant flavor. With that said, you will be happy to know that my assistant is also vegan and has showed great interest in find other ways to clarify our ales with something vegan friendly. I am definetly going to support him in his research efforts. FYI: any filtered beers are vegan. We use DE for filtration and this appears to me to vegan.

Company email: Keri, thanks for the email and the kind words about our beers. We never get tired of hearing from the people out there that are passionate enough about our beers that they take the time to write and tell us how they feel...especially when they ask good questions. Yes, are beers and the processes we use are totally vegan. In fact, our former Head Brewer of nine years was in fact a vegan! Double Check email: You will be pleased to know that our beer is 100% vegan compatible. So there’s no need to defect to a lesser beer. The fining agent we use for our beer is a protein-binding agent derived from kelp. No cow hooves, no fish guts, no bad karma points for you. Now, occasionally, craft brewers such as ourselves may tinker around with small specialty batches and add various goodies like spices, fruit, and from time to time honey (although I don’t recall that we’ve ever used it), but that would be explicitly stated. Otherwise, our beers are made strictly with water, grain, hops, and yeast (a member of the fungus kingdom, mind you). So here’s to your health and that of our creaturely brethren (and sistren).

Beer Sarah Bloomington Upland Brewery USA 2007-06-11T04:19:00+00:00 caleb@uplandbeer.com 167 Company email: I'm glad to hear you enjoy our beer. I've got good news and bad news in relation to what I call the "vegan" question. Our Wheat, Weizen, Maibock, Oktoberfest, Winter Warmer, Saison and upcoming Lambic series are all vegan friendly. However, in order to clarify our Pale, IPA, Porter and Amber it necessitates the use of isinglass because we do not filter our beer. Isinglass is composed of the swim bladders of a specific type of fish, which helps bond to other proteins and settles out during our conditioning phase. No noticable flavor changes occur with the use of isinglass, and the actual amount that ends up in the bottle and keg is less than one part per billion. That's the best explanation I can give in defense of our use in relation to these four brews affecting a vegan or vegetarian diet. Honestly, ketchup probably contains a similar amount of unintentional insect parts as part of its finished product. Other clarifying agents that can be used involve either silica gels or plastic based media that are not digestible and not something we choose to use on this basis. If we ever move to filtration, isinglass we most likely become a thing of the past, but many arguments exist for unfiltered beer being the most flavorful and colorful traditionally crafted in the market. It's a fun subject for me, and I've had several friendly arguments at festivals and bars when this question comes up. I'm always happy to relay that the Wheat, our biggest seller, is vegan. The main ingredients are solely malt, hops, yeast and water with the addition of organic chamomile, coriander and orange peel. 812-336-BEER Yellow IN Some Beers Vegan Friendly Upland-Brewery 2009-12-09T14:37:09+00:00 http://uplandbeer.com

Beer Andrew Portland Widmer Brothers Brewing Co. 2006-09-01T04:41:00+00:00 (503) 281-1496 100 Some brewers use animal derived products in beer for the purposes of clarification. Of interest is the collagen (protein) in such process aids. The most common comes from certain fish, and is called isinglass. For the same clarification purpose some brewers also use gelatin, which is less effective but easier to use than isinglass. When using isinglass or gelatin, it is likely that only very small amounts of those compounds carryover into the finished beer. Widmer products do not contain isinglass or gelatin. We receive quite a few questions on this topic and accordingly try to avoid using gelatin in any of our products, even the experimentals, but one exception is a beer that we produce in small volumes, called KGB Russian Stout, that on occasion contains gelatin. Additionally, some beers that Widmer brews for charity under the Collaborator brand name contain gelatin. The Collaborator products are not Widmer products, and are only available in the Portland, Oregon market, and in keg only. In addition to the fining agents we have two brands that contain lactose, which is isolated and purified from whey. Depending on one's viewpoint a sugar, like lactose, that is isolated and purified from a dairy product, such as whey, may or may not be considered vegetarian or vegan. If you are sensitive to this concept you should probably avoid Drop Top Amber and definitely avoid Snow Plow Milk Stout (aka Milk Stout). DTA contains very little lactose, Snow Plow contains slightly less lactose than milk. One other possible exception is our use of milk sugar in Drop Top Amber ale. I believe the milk sugar, otherwise known as lactose, is isolated from whey. Whey comes from milk curds. A few consumers may consider diatoms animals or animal products so be advised that any filtered Widmer product used diatomaceous earth as the filter media. Some consumers also consider yeast to be an animal, so be advised that any unfiltered Widmer product will contain live yeast cells, particularly our Hefeweizen.

Beer J. L. Tharpe The Crofts, WITNEY Wychwood Brewery UK 2006-08-31T04:07:00+00:00 James jason 58 Company email: Currently the only vegetarian/vegan beer that the Wychwood Brewery produces, are those brewed for the Duchy Originals range. All other beers both cask and bottle contain isinglass finings or have isinglass used in the their production. Email 2: Yes, I can confirm that Scarecrow is vegan. In order to fine/ clear it we leave it a long time in cold store which helps the proteins to sink. It is then filtered and flash pasteurized which takes the sediment out.

Company email: Hi Justin ~ Thanks for the email and it's not an odd question...we've gotten it before. We think it is important for people to know about their food and drinks and how it is made. Surprisingly enough, we are forbidden - by law- to put any kind of ingredient or nutritional label on our beers. Breweries aren't governed by the FDA. The macro breweries lobbied the Federal Government very strongly in favor of not putting ingredient/nutritional labels on beer. Crazy but true. I guess they don't want people to know about all the chemicals, etc. that they put in their beers. So, the answer to your question is - no, we do not use any animal products or byproducts in our beers. <b>The filters we use are diametaceous (spelling ?) earth so it contains nothing animal related. </b> 215-634-2600 19123 Yellow PA Mostly Vegan Friendly Yards-Brewing-Co 2009-06-05T11:56:24+00:00 http://www.yardsbrewing.com

(Filtering is usually done at breweries with DE or synthetic media in a plate filter; fining is the process of clarifying beer by adding an ingredient - like egg whites, gelatin, or isinglass - that causes proteins and other haze to settle out in a conditioning vessel.)" +420 415 710 783 438 01 Green Žatec Vegan Friendly Zatec-Brewery 2008-07-09T04:04:00+00:00 http://www.zatec-brewery.com/
