"Our beers are all filtered off site prior to bottling and isinglass is still currently used in the filtration process. Although as you may know isinglass it is not classed as an ingredient we do not class our beers as vegan."
Company email (August 2011):
"Please be advised, a very small amounts of isinglass used in the filtration process."

Company email from Merchant du Vin
"http://www.merchantduvin.com/pages/1_about/organic_vegan_glutenfree_beer_notes.pdf document is currant and correct - other than those of Traquair, no animal products including honey are used in any of our beers."
This status comes via the importer Merchant du Vin, who says:
"All our beers... are vegan except Traquair House, which uses isinglass for fining. (Filtering is usually done at breweries with DE or synthetic media in a plate filter; fining is the process of clarifying beer by adding an ingredient - like egg whites, gelatin, or isinglass - that causes proteins and other haze to settle out in a conditioning vessel.)"
