Guest E.C Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Can't wait to get loads of abuse for this, but as a vegan, who likes to drink beer and wants to re-acquaint himself with TMB, do you know/have a list of which beers are vegan, vegetarian, or not at all?!I'm so used to knowing which mainstream lagers are, that I've never really considered branching out.Any help appreciated!

chilli Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 maybe this will help beer & wine, not sure how up-to-date Popular Vegetarian Beers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest E.C Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Yeah, thanks for these, but I'm thinking more in the league of specific beers that TMB buy in, rather than fairly common brands (budweiser, heineken etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teabags Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 A much larger list, that is mainly for vegetarian not always vegan:Vegetarian beersFrom that list that I can see TMB stock (Bold for marked Vegan): Budvar, Duvel, Heineken, Lucifer, Nastro Azzuro, Samuel Adams, Trappist Westmalle (I think we do this, Flash?), As far as I'm aware, Flash would be unsure about most of them.We also get in some ales from Breweries on that list, such as Isle of Sky and Black Isle.

Teabags Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Thatchers Gold and Heritage Cider are both suitable for vegetarians, as per their website: Thatchers Cider | Age Verification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Vegan beer is a weird one, I had a long hard look into this one a while back. Since some beers don't have any animal ingredients but use animal by-products during brewing etc then it can be a bit of a grey area...Best bet is to get a hold of the Vegan Society handbook (I might still have a copy you can have if you want, but it might be out of date by now, these things always change). You'll pretty much have to check each beer as you go to see if they are or aren't Vegan. As a rule of thumb though, the Belgian ones are usually fine, American usually not..xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girl anachronism Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 All beer companies A-FI find this list helpful. It can get a bit confusing though, certain beers which aren't vegan in pints are in bottles and cans. It can depend on the location of brewing as well; for example Fosters imported from Australia is not vegan, but some Fosters brewed over here is owned by Heineken and is vegan. Fosters is rubbish anyway though. Same applies to Kronenbourg and VB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash@TMB Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Interesting question. If there is an easy way to find out (like looking at the packaging) then we could mark a 'V' on future versions of the menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically all lists compiled by people are made by contacting the companies directly to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to rep you but couldn't. :/ I didn't even realise you guys had Flying Dog, reckon I'll be in this weekend sometime. I already knew Thatchers was, and that usually leads to a messy night...
