"Wild Basin contains no animal ingredients or products - this stands true throughout the entire production + packaging process. Wild Basin is absolutely suitable for vegans!"

Company email (January 2018)
"...In fact, all of our beers are [vegan]. Please let me know if you have any other questions!"

Company email (December 2016):
"All of our beers are vegan! We changed to a vegan-friendly fining agent a year ago in August, so no more isinglass. All of our processing systems are also suitable for vegans."

Company email (August 2015):
"We have recently made some changes to our process and have eliminated isinglass and replaced with the below product

Company email (April 2015):
"Isinglass is commonly used prior to filtering in the brew process and we do use it as well. But unlike other brewers that use isinglass, we completely filter out all the Isinglass rather than simply transfer the beer and let you drink some of it.

We’re very committed to what is going into our beer, and being transparent about it. Here are a few links for you.

We currently use this product in Ten FIDY, GUBNA & Deviant Dale’s IPA & G’Knight Imperial Red IPA

All batches that receive this product are filtered.

We use this product on smaller batches in Lyons and cask ale. These are unfiltered.

Company email (January 2015):
"Hold the press, I just got an update & we have started using isinglass in additional beers. It’s used in Ten Fidy, Gubna, Deviant, and Pinner. Glad I checked in. Looks like some things have changed after all."

Company email (January 2015):
"Thanks for reaching out to us about our big ‘ol craft beer in a can. Ten FIDY is the only brew of ours which is not VEGAN. FIDY uses isinglass containing ground up fish swim bladders as a fining agent. Canned elsewhere, o HELL NO. We’re a hands on group, ain’t nobody else making or packaging our beer. We’re to anal retentive for that type o think, plus we dig making it all happen every day."

Company email (December 2011):
"As explained in our conversations in August Ten FIDY is the only brew of ours which is not Vegan because of the fining agent."
