Out of interest, how do you tell which beers are vegan?

Many tell you on the label, many don't and there are huge lists of thousands on line.
This is a beer brewed at Holyrood by Stewarts.

Others don't like this splendid brew from the USA, which is.

I will happily quaff beer with minute trace particles of isinglass. Guinness has pioneered centrifugal technology and all products are made without it. This will become the norm. Some Vegans do not eat honey, for their own reasons, which I respect, however I do. Not eating, animals nor diary products will have to do for now.

I came back with a selection of beers from the Cairngorm Brewery last time I was up Aviemore way. They were all pretty good. Quite entertained by some of the names....... "Sheepshaggers Gold" bound to be a favourite up North I thought.
