Water, grain, malt, hops and yeast may not be the only ingredients used in the production of your favorite brew. Did you know that the process might also include animal-derived products such as glycerin, casein, isinglass or even bugs? Many breweries use animal products as fining (clarifying) agents, foaming agents, coloring and flavoring, which means that their beers are not suitable for vegans, or most vegetarians.

If you are vegan or vegetarian, or have vegan or vegetarian friends, finding beer suitable for their consumption is not as hard as, say, finding vegan wine, but it can still be a bit of challenge - particularly since brewers do not have to list these ingredients on the label.

To read more about what makes beer vegan or not vegan, you can read my article Vegan Beer: Who Makes it and Where to Find it.

The following websites have Vegan Beer Guides to assist in your search for the perfect (and animal-friendly) brew.
