Company email (November 2019)
"All our bottled beers are vegan. Our cask beers are fined with isinglass and so are not vegan. We have been looking at alternative finings but to date isinglass is the most effective. We would produce unfixed beers but unfortunately the pubs want to be serving crystal clear beer within 24-48 hours of racking up, otherwise the just send it straight back to us. We will be trialling other finings in the future.

"All our craft range of beers in kegs and cans are unfined so vegan friendly."

Company email (January 2018)
"The bottle beers are all naturally conditioned by the action of yeast on the residual sugars within the beer producing the carbon dioxide that gives the head and natural mouth-feel. The beer in the bottle is a live product and has a small yeast deposit in the bottom, so should be poured carefully to avoid transferring it to the glass to give a nice clear drink. No finings are used in the bottled beers making them suitable for vegans and vegetarians and they have all been accredited by Camra to carry the ‘Real Ale in the Bottle’ logo."
