Company email (May 2020)

"We have never claimed that are beers are vegan, purely because they are not. The process of bottling involves initial fining with isinglass in 1,000 litre IBC’s. these are then shipped off to the bottler where the clear beer is drained off, then filtered to remove 100% yeast organisms and then re-seeded with clean yeast organisms of a different strain, immediately prior to bottling."

Company email (January 2013):
"Our bottled beers are vegan, however any from the cask (i.e from pubs) are not due to the finings we use to ‘settle’ the beer in cask."

Company email: (circa 2010)
"I’m afraid we use isinglass in all of our beers so they won’t be vegan."
