Erdinger Leicht is Vegan Friendly

Company email (December 2022)
"hank you for your email and your interest in our wheat beer specialities. We would be happy to help you in this matter.
First of all, we are an independent, owner-managed family brewery and are not part of any brewing group. Our owner is a brewer with heart and soul and quality is his top priority. The love of beer is our DNA. That's why it goes without saying that every bottle of ERDINGER beer - no matter what variety - is brewed exclusively in Erding, in beautiful Upper Bavaria. Accordingly, we do not grant licences or sub-licences to other breweries that brew ERDINGER beer specialities in our name.

We brew all our beer specialities strictly in accordance with the German Purity Law, the oldest food law in the world. Only barley and wheat malt, hops, our water and of course our yeast are used. The addition of enzymes - wherever they come from - is strictly prohibited. The processing materials used for the brewing process or filtration also contain no animal components (such as gelatine or isinglass) and are therefore vegan. By the way, unlike many other breweries, we also do not use PVPP (Polyvinylpolypyrrolidon) for filtration."

Company email (August 2016):
"I can confirm that Alkoholfrei is vegan friendly, none of the ingredients quoted are used in the production - however for bottles we have to say we use a glue which contains "casein", for label application so for very very strict vegan people that might be a problem, our Alkoholfrei cans of course do not use any labels. All ERDINGER Alkoholfrei is produced at our brewery in ERDING and there are no sub-licenses for production of any of our beers."

Company email (July 2014):
"ERDINGER Weiss beers exclusively contain those ingredients that are listed on the back label. Depending on the type of beer, these include water, wheat malt, barley malt, roasted malt, hops, yeast and carbon dioxide from natural fermentation. Other ingredients, which are not required to be reported, are not contained in our beers. Furthermore, our specialty ERDINGER Weiss beers do not contain any so-called "combined ingredients".
Our beers are brewed strictly according to the Bavarian Purity Law, which excludes the utilisation of synthetic ingredients. The aids used in production do not contain any products of an animal origin. Only the glue used for our bottle labels is partially made of an acrylic synthetic base. The labels on our draught beer barrels use an acrylic-base glue.
We also confirm that Erdinger Weiss beers are only produced in our own brewery in Erding, Germany. Nowhere else. "

Company email:
