Thank god special brew is on there
Thanks for the list, good to see all what has been found
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 What would be most helpful (given that this thread was started 5 years ago and much of the info is undoubtably outdated) would be to produce it with dates, links and name of the poster.

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!
even perfect isn't perfect - Rubyduby 4th July 08
(Kopparberg is on, but isn't vegan^)
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.....
even perfect isn't perfect - Rubyduby 4th July 08
The most recent update was that it isn't.
good to know - it also depends which country you are in I think - best to check locally I think....

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.
Does anybody know if Cobra Zero is vegan?
chillie sin carne is great with even a cheap beer replacing water
the only animal ingredient in my food is cat hair
Wow VAVA didn't know both
SPITFIRE PREMIUM KENTISH STRONG ALE
BISHOPS FINGER KENTISH STRONG ALE were vegan. cheers
red square vodka is vegan. don't know if you can get it anywhere apart from uk.
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.

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

I Think, Therefore I Am A Vegan
Baileys and Dooleys have cream in.
Newcastle Brown isn't vegan in UK.
Spitfire is vegan in nitrokegs and bottles and presumably cans.
"Danger" could be my middle name … but it's "John"
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
'The word gorilla was derived from the Greek word Gorillai (a "tribe of hairy women")'
Smirnoff no longer claim their vodka to be vegan
So are we all invited on Friday then Frank, or are you drinking that lot yourself?
"Mr Flibble - forum corruptor of innocents!!" - Hemlock
it's been discussed a lot in this very thread. basically, the company that makes Strongbow have said that while most of it is probably ok, they sometimes buy in supplies from other factories that use non-vegan filtering methods. so, there's no way of knowing whether what you're drinking is vegan or not.

Just tried River Cottage Stinger Ale, and very nice too.

hi guys, went to a pub today, who were having a German ale festival and tried some of the dark ales, and have to tell you all, those of you who miss Guinness (like I do!) you have to try Kostritzer schwarzbier it tastes just like Guinness , be it the bottle not draught, but still very nice x
I wonder if you can buy it in shops Shez?
I like Sandra, she keeps making me giggle. Daft little lady - Frosty
you may be interested in previous discussions on why the age ofd vegan myth of why produced in germany doesn't nessecarily equal vegan.
"Mr Flibble - forum corruptor of innocents!!" - Hemlock
^ Was thinking the same thing, but I couldn't be arsed to search for it

I just assumed Shez had found out if this particular beer was indeed vegan, but I always investigate myself anyway. I'm Googling as we speak!

Vancouver is a wonderful city, I've lived here all my life. It has a few, you know, not-so-nice areas (all cities do) but over-all a beautiful place to live.
The Vegan Society has a link for vegan alcoholic drinks

hi there, i'm sure you can buy kostritzer on line, but probably only in bulk, if anyone knows where i can get in from (u.k) please let me know. ow yer, just for the record, I did do a little checking first and as far as i can tell kostritzer dark is vegan, geez now you guys have me doubting myself haha.

so regular emailing required when buying thisDear Richard
Thank-you for your e-mail and enquiry.
As the process stands at the moment, Gaymers Cider is suitable for vegetarians / vegans , however and I must stress ,
" We reserve the right to use Fining agents such as isinglass, in the cider making process".
If we ever use this process which we reserve the right to do, the cider would then be filtered to remove the finings but there many be slight traces left, we would then not be able to say that Addlestones is vegetarian / vegan friendly.
Thank-you for contacting us and we hope the information provided has been of some use.
Kind Regards
If I sink to the bottom I can run to the shore.
I think the same is required for all brands; they are just a bit more honest and forthcoming with info than others.

Thanks bradders

Just a few months late...
Thank you so much for your recent email. We always love to hear from our loyal consumers, their thoughts and comments, as it keeps us in touch with the people that matter - you!
In response to your query, Kaliber is, like most of our other beers, produced with the aid of isinglass. Isinglass is a fish product used to help remove the yeast at the end of the beer production process. While most of the isinglass is removed, we cannot guarantee 100% removal of isinglass.
Some vegetarians may find this acceptable. As we understand it, the fact that any animal product has been used in production of Kaliber is sufficient to make it unsuitable for vegans.
I hope this information is useful to you and that you continue to enjoy our brands.

I always thought all alcohols except Tequilla were vegan so I was very surprised to read that so many of them are not.
I don't normally drink alcohol but I really like Belgian Kriek. Does anyone know if it's vegan?
I don't know about belgian kriek specifically (other than that there's every chance it uses isinglass), but know that Sam Smiths sell a vegan cherry beer (bottled).
"Mr Flibble - forum corruptor of innocents!!" - Hemlock
I sent an e-mail to Beers of Europe to ask what is used for clarification of Kriek.
I hope they will answer.
You really need to contact individual manufacturers - entire industries don't work to the same ingredients / production methods.
