Company email (September 2021)
"A customer recently pointed me in the direction of your site, as I’m happy to say it is no longer listing the correct information – we are now brewing with super-f finings, which are vegan-friendly! We also got rid of bottles in our mission to make better beer; no more single use plastic. Cask-conditioned are not vegan friendly, however keg is, as well as the cans (except the ones listed).
This goes for all of our canned beer. The only exceptions to this are Milk Stout 4.5%, Well Above Sea Level 5.0% IPA, and Clear Head 0.5% Alcohol Free IPA, as these all contain lactose."

Company email (October 2019)
"We use isinglass in our beer so they are not vegan friendly. We are currently testing with a new vegan friendly fining and hoping in the future it is good enough to use!"

Company email (July 2018)
"the Wheat Wine is suitable... we have had a look back through our records and can confirm that the Southern Conspiracy did not use finings during the process."
Company email (October 2017)
"Yes Atlantic Cruiser does use isinglass finings in the process. The only keg beer that we do that doesn’t is Milk Stout."

Company email (November 2013):
"Hi, Only our Hefe and Saison bottled beers are suitable. These beers we do not add isinglass finings to clarify the beers. All of other brands I cannot guarantee they are clear."

[Editor's note 11/18/2011: The "12 Stouts of Christmas" case contains a mixture of vegan friendly and not vegan friendly beers... http://www.bristolbeerfactory.co.uk/product.php?xProd=54&xSec=2]

Company email (November 2011):
"All Bristol Beer Factory bottled beers are vegan friendly, but cask beers use isinglass."

Company Email:
