Company email (February 2020)

"Macchiato is not Vegan, and does contain lactose.

"As a general rule of thumb our cask is not vegan due to isinglass. Our keg is normally always vegan as the sediment drops due to temperature. There are occasions when we use lactose but it would normally state in the descriptions on our website."

Via Twitter (https://twitter.com/wylambrewery/status/960182490437742594, February 2018) - Chola Kings on draft is suitable for vegans.

Company email (November 2017)
"We produce all of our beers at our brewery in Newcastle, nobody else makes or beers.

Some of our beers are vegan friendly, some aren’t. It also depends on the packaging type whether a beer would be suitable.

For example, we produce a beer called Hickey The Rake. This beer, in keg and bottle is vegan friendly but in cask it wouldn’t be as we add isinglass.

Here’s a list of our current range and whether they’re vegan friendly or not.
