Company email (February 2024)
"All of our beers are vegan EXCEPT where a pub has specifically requested finings are used in cask beer, so it's best to ask if it's on cask on hand pull pumps. Personally I'd like to move away from it all together but it seems to be an obstacle with some pubs that don't want to give beer proper settling time in the cellar.

Keg, bottle and can are always unfined and vegan unless in vary rare cases in the past where we have used lactose - though the only beers to feature lactose in the last 3 years have been a single milk stout batch and a single batch of summer fruits sour, both of which are no longer in production as beers. I am hoping to use a vegan alternative to lactose going forwards where a recipe could benefit from it

Hope that helps - I'm sorry it's not a completely definitive "everything is suitable for vegans" but I am working on that being the case."

"All of our keg beers, canned beers and bottled beers are vegan. If our cask beers are marked unfined then they don’t use animal products - however we do use some animal products as clarifying agents in many of our cask beers"
