Guest guest Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Hi Don, Wish I'd had the chance to ask them. However, it has encouraged me to get it in writing and I will ask such questions in my request. I can't find an email address for them so it will be a few days. I'll also inquire about the whole Artois family.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Thanks Peter, I don't think it's about accommodating people. My first thought is that following their recent image change (The Famille Artois brand, dropping the " Reassuringly expensive " slogan, and avoiding the product being described as " Stella " ), they have opted to attract the fine beer lovers with a subtle reference to the reinheitsgebot. I think it may be a cheaper process too. Any thoughts on this Don? Best wishes, Tom 2008/7/17 Peter VV <swpgh01: > Hi Tom, > I am a bit scheptical about this.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 stella in no way follows the reinheitsgebot tho... they use corn.... for the record In May 2008, an advertising campaign was run in the United Kingdom reporting that Stella Artois is only made from four ingredients: hops, malted barley, maize and water. Technically, the process also uses agents such as yeast for fermentation and isinglass for clarification [1]; " The animal product that we use is Isinglass (fish finings). This is a clarification agent made from certain fish. It assists clarification by attracting the yeast cells causing them to coagulate into larger particles which then separate from the beer, giving the beer a clean and clear appearance. " (Interbrew 19-Nov-2003).  i'll just stay away from it to be safe don't like it anyways  Peter vv Tom Jackson <jazzjackson Friday, 18 July, 2008 9:25:10 AM Re: Stella Artois PS InBev also control Becks who boasts the reinheitsgebot on the back, or at least used to. 2008/7/18 Tom Jackson <jazzjackson@ gmail.com>: > Thanks Peter, > I don't think it's about accommodating people.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hi Peter, You've just used a reference to 2008 followed by a reference from 2003. I've emailed InBev and I think I'll wait for a more up-to-date account. If Stella is vegan it certainly makes drinking in some bars much easier, so as a vegan it is an issue that interests me greatly since I am always telling people around me that a vegan lifestyle is easy.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hi Tom, Let us know what the official reply is. By the way Hieneken is vegan, and in my opinion tastes cleaner/better, Grolsch used to be but isnt now, but wasnt fussed on it myself. What I realy miss is a vegan dark/stout.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Hi Peter, I certainly will. I'll keep a look out for vegan stouts too. Perhaps the Erdinger Dunkel? In Wales, maybe some from Thomas Watkins or there's another brewer who's name escapes me. I agree that Heineken tastes much better, and where possible the German wheat beers win hands down for me, it's just sometimes a struggle to find places that sell them. Iechyd da!

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Apologies, after looking closer I've realised that there is more to the site. For those who only saw what I saw, the brands listed on the front page are just ones the web owner discusses further into the site content (at the top click on BEER). However, there's still some ambiguity here - Peter vv said Grolsch is no longer vegan, but the site claims it is. The trouble is that brewers do change their methods from time to time.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Hi Thomas, alas The Thomas Watkins like Brains and all the other Welsh brewers are users of the accursed isinglass. Have you tried some of the unfiltered stuff you can get inbottles? thats vegan. At the moment my fae is Hoergaarden. Â Peter vv Tom Jackson <jazzjackson Saturday, 19 July, 2008 11:10:07 PM Re: Stella Artois Hi Peter, I certainly will. I'll keep a look out for vegan stouts too. Perhaps the Erdinger Dunkel? In Wales, maybe some from Thomas Watkins or there's another brewer who's name escapes me. I agree that Heineken tastes much better, and where possible the German wheat beers win hands down for me, it's just sometimes a struggle to find places that sell them. Iechyd da!
