Company email (April 2021)

"Dragon's Milk White also does not use any animal products and is vegan-friendly."

Company email (March 2019)

"I'm glad to tell you we do not use any fish scales or any fish parts in our filtration process.

"Historically breweries have used something called isinglass from fish bladders. It is a filtration aid that helps particles bind together which are then easier to filter out. Some places do still use isinglass but we use a silicon based filter aid. We also do not use this filter aid in all of our beers and Dragon's Milk specifically does not. We use a centrifuge, which only uses gravity, to separate large and small particles."

Company email (March 2019)
"Unfortunately none of our beers are vegan as there is a filter that's a tiny part of the filtration process that uses fish scales as part of its makeup"

Company email (September 2013):
"All of our beer is currently free of any animal products with the exception of our brand Beerhive. It is our honey ginger tripel and it contains locally sourced honey. All of our beer is processed and
manufactured at either are plant or our pub."

Company email:
"The only animal product we use in any of our beers is honey in Beerhive."
