Company email (November 2024)

"At HEINEKEN Ireland isinglass is used in the production of our stouts, as it has been for centuries. Although it is not present in the final product, we still classify the products as not suitable for vegetarians or vegans."

Company email (circa 2009):

“Finings, a protein - like material, obtained from fish sources, has been used for centuries to clarify beers, particularly those beers which do not undergo filtration. We believe that the finings used to remove brewing yeast from Beamish Stout is completely removed with the yeast (by centrifuging). However, as finings is used in the process, we do not say that Beamish is suitable for vegetarians/ vegans ".
