Company email (April 2021)
"Just to confirm all of our bottled beers are vegan friendly and all of our cask ales are not …. But we will be launching a vegan friendly cask ale once the pubs are properly back open."
Company email (October 2020)
"Due to a different brewing process for our cask ales unfortunately unlike bottles they are not vegan friendly."
Company email (July 2019)
"We do have vegan beers as attached. We do not use insinglass filtration." [List updated with the three they sent]
Company email (November 2016):
"Unfortunately for your Vegan associates (and indeed myself!) all of beers are fined using Isinglass."
Company Email (circa 2009):
"We do use isinglass finings in all our products and we have no sub-licensee. However, we can often arrange a box or mini-keg to be filled without finings if ordered well in advance (and if you're happy to drink cloudy beer!). Please call the brewery on 01225 858383 to arrange."
