Company Email:
"St Austell cask ales, in line with the vast majority of other cask ales produced in the UK, are clarified by the addition of isinglass finings to the beer in the cask. As isinglass finings are derived from fish collagen, cask ales are not suitable for vegans or vegetarians.

St Austell bottled beers are clarified by filtration, and do not contain and added isinglass finings. St Austell bottled beers may therefore be consumed by vegetarians and vegans.

No other animal derived ingredients or process aids are used in the production of St Austell Brewery beers."

Company Reply:
"All of our casks conditioned beers, as is the case with the vast majority of cask conditioned beers, use isinglass finings to aim clarification. Our bottled beers do not use isinglass and are suitable for vegans and vegetarians.'
