Cobra Lager

"To clarify your question: Carling is brewed in a brewery where isinglass is not used at any stage of the process. This means that, from a production process perspective, the beer is free from animal derived finings. "However, our formal Vegan accreditation currently applies only to the Cobra family of beers. "In practical terms, the beer is produced without isinglass or animal matter, but we can only label and promote products as “Vegan” once the full certification is complete. We hope that this clarifies your query."

"Madri Excepcional is not certified by the Vegan Society as being suitable for vegans. Isinglass finings are used during the Madri Excepcional brewing process. As you may be aware, finings are a traditional product and a natural raw material, that has been used in the process of clarifying beer and wine for thousands of years. It is one of the techniques used to ensure the bright and sparkling appearance that many consumers really appreciate. However, not all brands are produced with finings, and we can confirm that from our wider portfolio, our brands Cobra, Aspalls and Rekorderlig cider ranges are certified by the vegan society."

Company email (December 2017) "The only products we have that are suitable for vegans are:- Carling Cider Apple Carling Cider Black Fruits Cobra Grolsch"

"We can confirm that all our Cobra Lager products produced in the UK are approved by the vegetarian society, but have yet to have the same certification to be suitable for vegans."

"We can confirm that Cobra is suitable for Vegans."
