Maltsmiths Lager is Not Vegan Friendly

Company email (July 2024) info@belhaven.co.uk re: Caledonian Brewery
"In answer to one of your questions we do not own Caledonian Brewery but we are making 3 of their products for them. These products are Deuchars IPA, Maltsmiths Lager and Maltmiths IPA.
To answer your second question is we use isinglass to filter our beers at the end of the brewing process. Therefore we cannot say any of the three Caledonian beers we make here are vegan."

Company email (August 2019)
"Maltsmiths is not suitable for vegans as it is brewed using isinglass."

Company email (October 2018)
"Yes I can confirm [all Caledonian beers are] suitable for vegans and those on a plant based diet."

Company email (October 2017)
"Our beers contain isinglass, so unfortunately not suitable for vegans"

Company email (August 2016):
"Unfortunately none of our beers are vegan friendly."

Company email (July 2012):
"The manufacturing process doesnt change, so, to be strictly correct we would have to advise against even although its only a trace element"
