Brightside Inn Crowd Mild is Vegan Friendly

From their website (https://brightsidebrewing.co.uk/gluten-free-vegan-beer/, retrieved January 2025)

"Our cans, bottles, keg and cask beers can be enjoyed by vegans, however we may occasionally use ingredients such as lactose or honey which do not align with the vegan ethos. We will always state on the can or bottle label if the beer is vegan, or if it contains an ingredient which makes the beer unsuitable for vegans to drink.

"Please always check the information on the product page, or on the can or bottle before you purchase it to make sure you’re happy with the ingredients."

[Also, each beer on their website now has an indicator saying if it's vegan]

Company email (January 2021)

"Unless specified on the label and on our website (each product has a page which can be checked on the web shop), our canned, bottled and KEGGED (NOT CASK) beers are vegan friendly ie no animal products or by-products are used in their production or packaging.

"Occasionally we may brew beers using lactose, and we have once used honey in a beer which is now out of production. If we use any non-vegan products in our beers, we will state this on our labels as an allergen in the case of lactose, or in the form of a non-vegan product warning.

"Our CASK beers are fined with isinglass and so are not suitable for vegans, however we do offer our hospitality trade customers the option to have their casks unfined, in which case they can be claimed to be vegan. If you are unsure, you can email us to check if the venue receives unfined cask beers from us."
