"We're excited to say that most Vocation beers are now certified Vegan. We are registered with the Vegan Society and some of our packaging now proudly displays their logo.

Since we installed a centrifuge in November 2018, we have been working on making our beers vegan. The centrifuge (as used by a lot of biggish craft brewers) gives us much better control of the clarity without knackering the flavour, like filtering does. It lets us control the clarity of our beer without filtering and using products such as isinglass."

Company Email (July 2021)
"Most of our canned/kegged beers are vegan except for a few which contain lactose -
Cooler Shaker
Naughty & Nice
Sweet Temptation
Breakfast Club 2.0
Our cask beers are currently fined with isinglass."

From their website (https://www.vocationbrewery.com/blogs/blog/vegan-vocation, retrieved April 2020)

"Any beers out in the wild produced after 01.06.19 are vegan. We have updated the information on our website for each individual beer, so you can now search our site to see which beers are vegan friendly."

"We are working on removing the isinglass from all our beers and should have achieved this in the next couple of months"

Company email (May 2016)

"We use Isinglass finings in all of our beers so none are vegan friendly I'm afraid."
