Company email (April 2024)
"All of our bottled beers are vegan (we don't need to fine them as the bottling process clarifies). However, are casks and Craft Lager are not - with the exception of Old Growler, which we leave unfined.
We have tried the alternatives to isinglass, but find that they don't work well enough for a commercial product. We do always test any new products to market, so hopefully one day someone will come up with an alternative that works.
Company email (October 2020)
