Simon notes (February 2020)
"Was in touch with Paul, the owner of Campervan Brewery today. He advised that Exotic Burst is one of only two beers currently in production that are not vegan (due to lactose)." [The other is Happy Botanist]

Company email (November 2017)
"All our beers are unfiltered and unifined so no fish in our beer! I've about 10 beers now but 2 of them do contain lactose. The lactose we use is stored away from our other ingredients and in a sealed container so no chance of cross contamination. The other 8 beers are vegan friendly, we do add spices, fruit, tea etc but nothing that would make them vegan unfriendly.

"...Actually we have 3 beers that contain lactose now we are releasing another stout next week. So ones that contain lactose are Mutiny on the Bounty, Hoppy Botanist and our new Cherry Grenade Stout. Don't worry we don't plan to do any more lactose beers in the future."

Company email (November 2017)
"I opened my new brewery in January and am now in complete control of the whole process. We don't use any isinglass in our beers. All unfiltered and unfined. Though 2 of my beers contain lactose."

Company email (August 2016)

"I would say that at the minute none are suitable for Vegan. My intention is to move to unfined within the next 2 months. My challenge has been that as Im so small I don't have the funds to invest in filtration technology to allow for unfined.

"I will announce on social media as soon as I can confidently confirm that all of my beers are unfined."
