"Thanks a lot for your interest in our beer in this special point of view. I'm glad to inform you that our beer is vegan-friendly as our beers do neither contain any animal ingredient (as we brew according to the German purity law from 1516 which allows only water, malt and hops (and of course yeast)) nor are animal products used during the processing or filtration of the product. Due to the fact that our products are only produced here in Freising (Germany) we can state that the mentioned ingredients cannot be found in our products."
