Company email (March 2017)
"Only our Gluten Free IPA contains honey. All others do not... No animal derived ingredients were used in any part of our brewing process... We maintain full control of our products."
Follow up re: Gluten Free IPA: " Our last batch was made with honey in it at the request of our customer who purchases an entire fermenter at a time. That's why our label has honey on it. I just spoke with our brewmaster and he confirmed that going forward our GF IPA will be back to its original recipe with no honey. Sorry for the confusion."
[No idea on timing for the current batch to go, but sounds like the label says honey for the honey version?]
Company email (June 2016)
"All our styles are vegan friendly with the exception of our gluten free IPA. The gluten free IPA does contain honey. I understand that some vegans do consider honey as an acceptable ingredient while others don't, so I shall leave it up to you to decide whether it is vegan friendly or not!" [ed: we don't :)]
