Do we make Vegan beers?

• We absolutely make some Vegan beers!  We have made it a policy to never use animal products as processing aids (such as finings) in our beers.  Our only beers that aren’t Vegan are the beers that clearly declare the ingredients of animal origin in the beer description.  Those ingredients we have used in the past are oysters, grasshoppers, lactose, marshmallows, agave worm salt, and honey.  You will see these ingredients listed when they are used.  Please also feel free to reach with questions about a specific ingredient declared if you aren’t certain of it’s origin: [email protected]

 

“I have a dietary restriction (lactose, gluten, wheat, etc), help!”

 

• If we ever use lactose in a beer, it will be declared as either lactose or milk sugar.
• We do use wheat in many of our beers.  Chances are, if it is hazy we used some wheat.  Please do feel free to reach out with questions about specific beers and we will gladly answer your questions: [email protected]
• When we kicked off our lager program, we decided to make all of them gluten reduced.  We add an enzyme that specifically targets all proline containing amino acids during fermentation drastically reduces gluten in the finished beer.  By calculation, these lagers are all less than 20ppm Gluten.  However, in order to label them gluten removed in the US we would have to test via R5 ELISA and we simply can’t afford to do so.  With all of that said, if you have a Celiac allergic reaction to gluten we are not suggesting you consume these beers.
