Company email (December 2014):
"At this time all of our fermented products are free from using any animal products and have been for nearly 15 years.
The only beers that we have anything more than traditional ingredients are the Jalapeno 777 and the 10 Below. The Jalapeno 777 uses Jalapeno and Serrano peppers in the infusion and the 10 Below is spiced with molasses during the boil. We do offer some other products from time to time infused with a flavoring agent but I can't think of a time when we've used an animal product to do so...
We do not use any fining agents in our products, instead we use Perlite as a filter media with the products we want to be clear/bright.

Just a note. You may want to exercise caution when drinking a cask beer however. It is traditional to add some isinglass to the keg several hours to a day before serving to ensure the beer is bright and clear. We don't use isinglass anywhere in our processes but a cask keg in an outside account might be handled this way.
We also don't use any honey in our current recipes. I personally don't care for the flavor it provides and it can be a difficult ingredient to use. It is also a difficult product to maintain consistency with and very expensive. That being said there may be a day when we do employ honey as flavor component but I doubt that will happen anytime soon and we will declare it as an ingredient for all to know...
We have discussed using milk sugar in a beer at some point. We don't have a tangible recipe now but that may happen downstream in something like a Milkstout. Like the honey we will declare the ingredient for all to know so people can enjoy it within their chosen lifestyle."
