IS CRAFT BEER VEGAN?

Is craft beer vegan? Let’s get into it… Craft beer is a popular alcoholic drink that is made in small batches. This article will explore whether craft beer is vegan, as well as the benefits and drawbacks of this type of beverage.

What does craft mean?

The term “craft” means different things to different people. In the UK, it typically refers to a brewery that produces less than 6 million barrels per year. The definition for craft breweries varies by country and even region within countries like Canada or Australia where there are fewer regulations on what constitutes a craft brewery than in the UK., so you may want to do some research before deciding if your favourite brews are considered “craft.”

So is craft beer vegan?

The answer to this question will depend on your definition of vegan. If you’re looking for vegetarian beer-making practices, then most likely not. But if you’re okay with beers that are only “faux” or plant-based alcoholic beverages (a la O’Doul’s), then it just might be possible.

Perhaps you’re wondering if craft beers might qualify as vegan?  It turns out that some craft breweries use isinglass, a gelatine made from fish bladders in the process of brewing. However, Zero Six Brew Co do not use this gelatine so our beers are vegan friendly.

The Benefits and Drawbacks of Craft Beers:

Craft brewers often employ more complex processes than macro breweries when crafting their recipes which can lead to more satisfying brews with fuller flavours; however, they also typically come at much higher prices per bottle or can.

The benefits of craft beers are clear: better flavour, higher quality ingredients and more satisfying brews all around; but the drawbacks are also fairly easy to identify – they come at a significantly higher price than their macro brew counterparts which can be difficult for some people to justify paying when there is such an abundance of cheaper options out there.

Some pro tips for drinking vegan friendly beer?

Be aware that not every brewery will use animal products in brewing, so always ask about them first! And if you’re looking for something on-the-go or want to drink while doing something else like hiking, camping or playing sports, try one of our canned beers instead as these do not contain any animal by-products either.

If you’ve been following the beer industry at all lately, then it’s hard not to notice that vegan-friendly beers are on the rise.

This is because more and more people are becoming aware of what goes into their beer – like if an animal product is used in brewing or how anything containing a dairy ingredient is no longer considered “vegan”. This has led to breweries introducing new styles with ingredients such as coconut water and pea protein which can be found on shelves nationwide.

But for those who don’t want to spend too much money buying craft beers because they’re looking for cheaper options, here’s some pro tips! Many grocery stores now carry canned versions of these types of beverages without any animal byproducts.

Remember, look at the packaging and check for the vegan friendly logo, as seen on Zero Six Brew Co’s beers and drink responsibly.
