Phillips Gorilla Mode Juice Wizard is Vegan Friendly

Company email (April 2025)

"All of our core beers are vegan, including the Dinosours! Our Dinosours are fermented with both beer yeast and lactobacillus which is a bacteria that we use as our souring agent, but it is not derived from lactose in any way. On the sides of the cans we list our ingredients, where we will include adjunct ingredients, such as chocolate or lactose sugar. On occasion, we do seasonal/limited release beers that may contain lactose, however we always make it very clear if there is lactose added. Otherwise all of our beer is vegan."

Company email (February 2020)
"While most of our beers are vegan friendly, unfortunately Longboat isn't on that list due to the extra ingredients outside of our favourite four (water, hops, barley, yeast)."

Company email (July 2011)
"You are correct. [standard vegan questions asked] No fish bladders or dairy around here my man." [Note from Barnivore, they didn't address the Longboat Porter (see below) which is still in production so we're keeping the overall status unchanged.]

Company email:
"Thanks for the interest in our beer. They are vegan friendly, we don't use any filtration products that contain animal products. One exception is the Longboat porter, we use cocoa which states it may contain milk ingredients, so best to ere on the side of caution. I hope this helps."

Note from Denyce:
"The Longboat Porter contains cocoa which claims it "may contain" milk ingredients - without seeing the package it's hard to tell if this is the usual legal protection from a factory that also uses milk products on the line or if they really don't know what's in their stuff, but kudos to Phillips for being thorough."
