Company email (October 2011):
"We cannot guarantee any of our beers as vegan as the ingredients are not purchased with any such guarantee. However, neither our Imperial Stout or Saison are fined with isinglass (which is derived from fish swim bladders) and therefore the only ingredients used in these are malted grain, yeast, hops and water."

Company email:
"Imperial is currently the only unfined one (we have done a few naturally cloudy beers in the past). We could therefore say that the Imperial is suitable for vegetarians.
It is very likely that all the ingredients with exception of isinglass are free from animal derived product but they are not purchased on this basis and therefore I cannot guarantee it. It is possible, for example, that bonemeal could be used on the soil for growth of the hops or barley, making them unsuitable for vegans."
