Company email (May 2025)
"All of our beers are gluten free, vegetarian and VEGAN. We use no animal products or any finings in our beer production. Our beers achieve their clarity through a primary filtration process after fermentation and natural yeast sedimentation after conditioning."
Company email (May 2023)
"I can confirm all our ales are vegan, no finings used at all in our brewery and haven’t been for 3 years now. You are correct we used to use finings prior to Covid but have indeed changed our brewing processes."
Company email (August 2020)
"I can confirm that all of our “bottled” beers are produced using no animal products and as such can be classed as vegan and vegetarian. We don’t use any affiliated governing body for accreditation but can if necessary prove our product trails and ingredients involved in the process.
"As a result of our processes some of our “cask” beers are also able to be classed as vegan but not all of them. We still use isinglass finings in both Potholer and Gorge Best cask beers but nothing else."
Company email (November 2011):
"Sadly we do use isinglasss finings during the process so the beer isn’t suitable for vegans. We MAY at some point investigate the filtration methods we use that currently mean we need to use isinglass."
