"Da wir uns in Deutschland selbstverständlich an das geltende Reinheitsgebot halten, sind alle unsere Biers rohstoff-seitig nur auf Basis von Wasser, Malz, Hopfen und Hefe hergestellt.

"Letztere führen wir in der Brauerei ausschließlich mittels hauseigener Würzen, die ebenso nur aus den o. g. Zutaten hergestellt werden.

"Somit können wir ausschließen, dass die Herstellung unserer Biere auf Basis tierischer Stoffe geschieht.

Ferner verzichten wir aktuell auch auf den Einsatz von kasein-basierten Leimen, um die Etiketten an die Flaschen zu kleben."

[Google translation: "As we of course adhere to the current purity requirement in Germany, all our beer raw material side are made only on the basis of water, malt, hops and yeast.

"The latter we carry in the brewery exclusively by means of in-house seasonings, which also just from the o. G. Ingredients are produced.

"Thus, we can rule out that the production of our beers is based on animal substances.

In addition, we are currently refraining from using casein-based glues to glue the labels to the bottles."]

Company email Feb 2011 regarding Boddingtons.
"Boddingtons cask ale is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. Boddingtons cask ale, like many cask ales brewed in the UK, uses isinglass, a traditional processing aid derived from fish ingredients, in the brewing process. Isinglass is a traditional product that has been used in the process of clarifying beer and wine for hundreds of years. Beer that has been clarified with isinglass should not be regarded as either vegan or vegetarian."

Boddingtons in can, bottle and keg format is suitable for vegetarians or vegans as the brewing process does not involve isinglass."
