You might think that all beer — being principally brewed with grain, yeast, and hops — is vegan, but the truth is brewers have long turned to animal products to help produce a superior beer. Most non-vegan ingredients that find their way into beer are used to help clarify and filter the final product. Things like animal-based gelatin, egg shells, and a traditional brewing ingredient — made from the swim bladders of fish — called isinglass help produce a beer that appears crystal-clear in your glass.
