"Our current core range of bottles, Semer Water, Gamekeeper, Gold and Black Dub are vegan friendly.

Our cans at the moment are vegan friendly , though we do sometimes do beers with lactose in, but these are clearly labelled so,

Poacher, Summer in Seville and High Fives are vegan friendly as will be Reprobate and Across the Void which will be released prior to Christmas. However Silk Road which is due out in 3 weeks will contain lactose.

With regards to cask beer, Our core range of Semer Water, Gamekeeper, Falconer and Black Dub mat contain trace elements which are NOT vegan friendly. This is purely down to the final set of finings which are put into cask. Our special cask beers, of which we release a new one nearly every week, are probably split 50/50 between being vegan friendly and not. We are producing more and more cask ale that is hazy, therefore without finings, which means it is ok for you. We will continue to try and do more and more in this format and it is getting much more acceptable in the market place, and as long as that continues we will produce more and more of them."

Company email:
"Unfortunately, as our beers as cask conditioned, they do contain isinglass finings, which as you seem to be aware contain a derivative of fish products in the clearing process.
This would make them unsuitable for vegans.
All our ales are produced here at the brewery, so are all made using these ingredients."

Company email:
"Unfortunately we cannot currently recommend any of our beers as suitable for vegans."
