Company email (November 2022):
"Unless the inclusion of yeasts (which are wildly productive little critters and arguably labor under the brewer's yoke) would invalidate a beer's vegan classification, none of our current beers on tap or in package have any adjuncts or ingredients that would not be considered vegan. We also don't use fining agents such as isinglass (we opt for transferring our beers through a centrifuge to clarify). In general, the typical ones to watch for would be beers made with lactose/cream/milk chocolate, weird one offs like oyster stouts, or anything brewed with honey (e.g. some notable examples could include meads, Rogue's Honey Kolsch, Jester King's Queen's Order, etc.). "

Company email (October 2016):
"We do not use any animal based clarifiers in our beers. We do occasionally use honey and we make an oyster stout once a year, but other than that they should all be safe for vegans."

Company email (February 2014):
"The only beers we serve that are not vegan are the Milk Stout (lactose) and the Oyster Stout. Otherwise you are good to go."

Company email (February 2009):
We never use Isinglass, Gelatin, very infrequently use honey, and will make everyone aware if we use other animal products (milk, egg white, etc) You should be pretty safe with everything on tap right now.

Company email (October 2008):
"Once I made an Oyster Stout and I have had great results with honey, but none of our current beers use any animal or animal products."
