Black Country Ales Chain Ale (bottles) is Vegan Friendly

Company email (November 2024)

"We use only traditional ingredients in our brewing process: water, hops, barley, and yeast... no other additives are used. That said, we do use isinglass finings in our cask beer for clarification, and at this moment, we're not planning to change this method.

However, our bottled beer is free from animal-derived products, as it undergoes filtration, ensuring it does not contain any animal-based ingredients."

Company Email (circa 2011):

"All our brands do not contain any animal ingredients but we do use Isinglass fo improving the clarity of our beers.
I am not a brewer but I am led to believe that there is no adequate or effective substitute for Isinglass.
As a very local brewer, we do not brew abroad or sub contract."

Company Email (circa 2010):

"We do use Isinglass in all our brands in order to improve clarity of our beers."
