Theakston Hogshead Bitter (bottles/cans)

Company email (December 2025) "I have just checked with our head brewer, who has confirmed that neither Old Peculier or Nowt Peculier are Vegan (bottled or canned) "Cask / Keg ale wise, our Best Bitter (Keg only) or our Theakston Mild (a Keg exclusive product) are made without Finings, so are the only on-bar range that are vegetarian / vegan." Company email: (May 2023) "We currently only have one Vegan beer and that’s our Theakston Pale Ale." Email from Peter: Photo of bottle of Theakston Pale 4.5% ABV that says "suitable for vegans" on the bottle. Company email (January 2016): "All our products wether Cask , Keg or Bottle all have Isinglass added as a process aid." Company email (November 2015): "For all our beers , being traditional, we use Isinglass finings as a processing aid . This is derived from swim bladders of large tropical fish. As such , I’m afraid , our products aren’t suitable for vegans or vegetarians." Company email (April 2013): "The good news is that finings are not used in our bottled beers so they are suitable for vegetarians." Company email: "We are traditional brewers and therefore we use Isinglas Finings to clarify our beers and therefore they are unsuitable for vegans." Company email: We are a traditional brewery using tradtional brewing methods and so we do still use isinglass finings as a clearing agent in our beers, therefore we are not a vegan product.
