so what beer is veggie?
Jan 03, 2003, 17:47
Yep, isinglass is used in many beers, especially bitters and real ales.

Lagers tend to use it less, so it is a bit of a surprise, and Stella's singled out in the U-Know news not to be unfair to them, but cos it's such a common brand and I know loads of veggies who have an 'innocent till proven guilty' attitude to alcohol.

Samuel Smiths, Heineken Export, Kaltenberg, and all beers brewed in Germany are definitely vegan.

A friend who's done the brewery tour at Black Sheep asked them, and apparently their stuff is vegan in bottles but not in cask (finings again).

Ciders also commonly use animal finings. That said, all Bulmer ciders are vegan.
