What the company told us

Correspondence on record, with the date of each entry.

Company email ·

"The vast majority of our beer is vegan friendly. "Where our cask beers are fined for clarity, this is done with a non-animal based alternative to isinglass. "A small number of our recipes feature lactose, for example Faked Alaska and the occasional milk stout, but this will always be clearly stated. A number of the team are vegan including our General Manager and wherever possible we avoid animal products. The move to non-isinglass finings was made last year as part of this ongoing process, and when we're able to find an alternative to lactose that achieves the desired outcome, I'm sure we'll make the change."

Company email (November 2024) "Most of our cask beers are fined, apart from our hazy ones – ZZ Hop & Massive Azacc etc – are not."

Company email ·

"Protofloc, a vegan fining agent, is used in the boil so all the beer is basically vegan (apart from a recent one, Faked Alaska, which contains lactose); when it goes into casks though we still have to use isinglass... New England beers are unfined so Zero-Zero, Massive Azacc, Space Hardware, Citrus Maxima are [vegan friendly]"

Company email ·

"Our cask beer is fined using Isinglass at the moment, but we are seriously considering going unfined in the very near future."

Company email ·

"All of our bottles and kegs are vegan friendly, we currently use isinglass in most of our cask beers but this is something we are working on and hoping to remedy in the not too distant future."

Company email ·

"While we do offer unfined cask beer, most are fined with isinglass I'm afraid. We send unfined beers to our pub, The Three Tuns, most weeks but I can't promise they'll be on at any given time. They do have Moor beers on at all time though, which are all unfined. Our keg and bottled beers are all unfined though, as are all of our cask stouts."

Company email ·

"You'll be fine with everything apart from the Oyster Stout and the Hunny Beer. Nobody else is making our beers for us."
