Ballast Point Brewing & Distilling

Company email (February 2018) "We do not add dairy to our Red Velvet" Company email (August 2017) "Thanks for taking the time to reach out to Ballast Point. All our beers are Vegan Friendly, with the exception of Calm Before the Storm Cream Ale." Company email (November 2015) "I can confirm that we no longer use the previous gelatin, and all our main production beers are vegan-friendly!" Company email (July 2011) "We are currently using the centrifuge and have eliminated the use of gelatin at our production facility. We still use gelatin at our Linda Vista location as needed for clarification. The following beers made at our Scripps location are gelatin-free, Pale Ale, Calico Amber Ale, Big Eye IPA, Sculpin IPA, Wahoo Wheat, Black Marlin Porter and various seasonal beers like Sea Monster and Victory at Sea." Company email: "We do use gelatin as a yeast clarifier in our lighter beers, however this is filtered out before packaging. This will change next month as we will begin using a centrifugation process on all of our beers, eliminating the need for gelatin. Some of our specialty beers made at our other location may continue to use gelatin in the brewing process."
