Beer Anthony Galesburg Bell's Brewery Inc. 2006-08-31T03:20:00+00:00 Jason 8 Company email: Thank you for taking the time to write to us. John Mallett forwarded your question to me for response. 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/
