Guest guest Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Thanks Lisa and Gayle, I appreciate the information you gave me. I didn't find any Canadian beer on the list, but I do like beer from the brick which was on it, so I guess I will just stick with them until I find out more.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 You could always find the name of the beers you are interested in, google the name to get a contact number/email for the company and write to them and ask. Most companies are great when you do that. And its not really that much work or very difficult. And better than getting information through forums and stuff where you can never be sure someone did their homework properly. Yvonne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 I just found this doing a google search: http://www.peacefulresistance.com/article.php?story=2003082911082732 <<As a general rule traditional, cask-conditioned beers ('real ales') are usually clarified (cleared) with isinglass finings. Isinglass is a very pure form of gelatin(e) obtained from the air bladders of some freshwater fishes, especially the sturgeon. The addition of the finings speeds up a process which would otherwise occur naturally. Keg, canned, beersphere and some bottled beers are usually filtered without the use of animal substances. Lagers are generally chill-filtered but a few may involve the use of isinglass. The only possibly animal-derived ingredient used in the production of keg beers is E471. Animal-derived finings continue to be used in all Guinness- and Bass-produced beers.>> Lisa - Jean Sunday, August 07, 2005 7:16 AM Thanks for the beer lists Thanks Lisa and Gayle,I appreciate the information you gave me.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Most beer is vegan - it is wine that uses more animal products it appears.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Yvonne, Although I appreciate everyone's help on this, You are so right I should just contact the company who brews the brand I prefer. Now why didn't I think of that?
