"None of our cask beers are suitable as they contain a clearing agent made from fish finings. However all of our keg and bottled beers, including Oranjeboom, are suitable for vegans and vegetarians as they do not contain this agent. Please note that this only applies to Shepherd Neame products as other breweries may use different procedures."

Company email (February 2017):
"None of our cask beers are suitable as they contain a clearing agent made from fish finings (the isinglass you have mentioned). However all of our keg and bottled beers are suitable as they do not contain this agent, with several brands registered as such, including Whitstable bay Organic and Sainsbury brands. We do not use eggs, milk or honey in our beers."

Note from reader (December 2015):
Kentish Ale from Sainsbury's has a vegan mark on the label

Note from Tony Tofu (March 2013):
"Yeah I contacted Shepheard Neam. They double checked if the Double Drop Stout is Vegan. It deffinately is. I got lots of it for 99p. Bargain for Vegan Stout. It's a nice drink too."
