Company email (March 2012):
"I understand that our bottled beers are suitable for vegetarians - the yeast we use to bottle condition our real ale is suitable for vegetarians and no other animal derived products are used in the process...
Our minipins and polypins are bag in box style containers, with a plastic tap fitted within, so you don't need anything extra. However, our draught beers, as you said below, do contain isinglass."
Company email:
"we use Islinglass to fine our beers, so in a pure sense then we are not Vegan friendly I'm afraid."
