James notes that their website (https://www.abbeydalebrewery.co.uk/home/beers/, retrieved August 2019) now shows a vegan symbol next to their vegan offerings.

Company email (October 2018)
"The following beers are vegan friendly and currently listed as unknown:
Tramlines Session
You Scratch My Back
Kid Ryenamite
Wanderer 3
Unbeliever 4

All future beers called Voyager, Serenity and Deliverance will always be vegan friendly.

The following beers are fined using isinglass and so are not vegan friendly:
Belfry
Absolution
Moonshine
Bootlegger
Deception
Heathen
Daily Bread
Black Mass
Doctor Morton’s Non-Stick

The rest are no longer in production so I can’t confidently say whether they were fined or not, so best to leave these as unknown I’m afraid.

We are now releasing many more beers as vegan friendly with a higher proportion of our new releases being suitable for vegan drinkers than in the past and we expect this trend to continue moving forwards."

Company email (June 2018)
"We currently have quite a few beers that are vegan friendly.

"The beers in the following ranges are all unfined and vegan friendly.

Voyager (our range of IPAs)
Serenity (our range of Session IPAs)
Deliverance (our range of Double IPAs)

"Some off our Salvations are vegan friendly, but you are correct that we have added Lactose to some of the beers. Some of our one off specials are unfined too. Some beers are fined in cask, but unfined in keg and can, like the Birdhouse Tea beer we have just released.

"The majority of our more traditional cask beers are all fined using isinglass, so are not vegan friendly, but we try and make drinkers aware where possible when a beer is unfined by using pump clip toppers..."

Lindsay notes "from the descriptions salvation #5 contains doughnuts (egg) and salvation #7 contains lactose."

Company email (circa 2010)
"We use Isinglass in the beers"
