[Buddha Belly]

Thank god special brew is on there :D

Thanks for the list, good to see all what has been found:thumbsup:

[Mr Flibble]

Thanks for the list. What would be most helpful (given that this thread was started 5 years ago and much of the info is undoubtably outdated) would be to produce it with dates, links and name of the poster.

[Corum]

Send a pm to cumin - he order several cases a couple of years back of Sam smiths from somewhere

Try the brewery :D

go on then;)

what i did was start at the begining of the thread and if new info came up on the way through i altered what was on the list. If something is halfway through the list then you can assume that it is halfway through the thread other than that I am not going through the whole thing again - you do it!:)

[Prawnil]

(Kopparberg is on, but isn't vegan^)

[vava]

it is vegan - it isn't vegan - it is vegan - it isn't vegan and so on throughout the thread the last one said it is vegan.....

[Prawnil]

The most recent update was that it isn't.

[vava]

good to know - it also depends which country you are in I think - best to check locally I think....:)

From: info@dbcales.com

Good evening,

Thank you for your enquiry. As far as I am aware, none of the products used in our bottled beers contain or derive from isinglass, gelatine or egg albumen. None of our products contain honey.

...

Yours sincerely,

Hmmm, that sounds slightly suspect to me, like the guy hasn't checked for certain.

Thank god special brew is on there :D

Heh heh!

[Prawnil]

I've contacted the van Honsebrouck brewery who make Bacchus, paper wrapped, Belgian fruit beers. I was careful with phrasing my message to be clear it was the production, not the ingredients I was referring to - giving isinglass as an example of what I was talking about. Unfortunately, what I got back was a quite ambiguous "None of our beers contain animal substances."

(Then I realised that the paper wrapped, Belgian fruit beers I was remembering were actually Liefmans, who are down as vegan suitable on another list. The list is very old though, so I'll contact them about now.)
PS. Supposedly Liefmans did the paper-wrapping first. So there, Bacchus.

[lazyrolla]

Does anybody know if Cobra Zero is vegan?

[pat sommer]

chillie sin carne is great with even a cheap beer replacing water

[shez]

Wow VAVA didn't know both

BISHOPS FINGER KENTISH STRONG ALE (http://www.shepherd-neame.co.uk/beers/index.php?bishops_finger) were vegan. cheers:)

:o don't thank me! it was just stuff collated from earlier in the thread!

[kieran]

red square vodka is vegan. don't know if you can get it anywhere apart from uk.

[Risker]

Just received this confirmation email as I wanted to recheck since Morrisons are doing Lemon flavour and Toffee Apple flavour Brothers cider for £1 a bottle.


Many thanks for your email, all Brothers Ciders are suitable for Vegans, as we do not use isinglass in our production process.

[kieran]

toffee apple flavour cider? i would like to try. don't think there is a morrisons anywhere near me though. :(

[Frank]

I need help with this list if you have any time to spare.

I need to know if any of these are vegan or not.

It was a much bigger list and I've managed to reduce it.

I'm hoping a few people can contribute as I need to complete the list Friday evening at latest.

There are a lot of generics there that can't be analysed as we don't have a brand. But an indication will do.

[Pob]

Baileys and Dooleys have cream in.

Newcastle Brown isn't vegan in UK.
Spitfire is vegan in nitrokegs and bottles and presumably cans.

[Gorilla]

the following from that list i believe are vegan:
Tia Maria
Southern Comfort
Jack Daniels - except they seal their barrels with beeswax apparently (but so could other brands i suppose)
Corona
Coors Light
Red Bull
most vodkas - really need to know the brand though i think

most sherries aren't vegan i don't think?

Strongbow isn't vegan any more

fruit juices can contain many non-vegan ingredients, again depends on the brand

[Daffodil]

Strongbow isn't vegan any more



Really ??? are you sure??? please tell me you're wrong. I always drink this when i'm out as it's the only cider every pub in the land seems to sell and I can always guarantee there'll be something I can drink without remembering tons of lager brands that are vegan....
