UPDATE:
"Your info [animal finings used for all beers] is correct. I do wish there were another product to use but there isn't so we are dissappointing some vegans out there. Glad to hear you're doing what you're doing. Will help alot of people. Follow up: We have explored the centrifuge idea and will probably invest in one in the next two years. It's not feasible at our current production rate but as that rate increases it becomes more realistic. Love to get those vegans on our side!"
Company Email:
We have changed yeast strains which has decreased the frequency we use isinglass as a fining agent prior to filtration, but we still do use it on occasion. I would not be able to tell you which beers and when because it is a case by case situation.
@kmudrick notes that "I've heard comflicting reports from Avery, as recently as a couple of weeks ago, that sometimes they fine, sometimes they don't" - time for a double check...

"I noticed on your list that Avery's beer is listed as not vegan friendly. But I have spoken with one of the brewers who has always been super helpful in picking out vegan-friendly beers of theirs (the unfiltered stuff has always been vegan)--they switched yeast strains a few months back and no longer use isinglass. so now their beer is vegan-friendly."
