Not all beer is vegan

Beer made with seafood

Oyster Stout beers have oysters in their composition, specifically in the fermentation process. The website VinePair, a beverage expert, says these beers can use clam shells or any other seafood at some point in fermentation. Generally, they are the darkest beers with a semi-sweet taste, great for the palate.

beer with honey

People tend to add honey to make a sophisticated drink, just as some breweries add a good amount of honey to give it another flavor. Honey is made by insects, and it's certainly nothing

vegan.

Beer produced with milk sugar (lactose)

The sugar in milk is known as lactose, and milk is of animal origin. That is, beers that make use of milk sugar are not vegan, they are usually useful to add a creamy and slightly sweet flavor.

Beer with fish bladder

If you've never heard of it, know that this process is useful for making beer clearer with the high amount of collagen in the bladder of fish. The process is known as 'isinglass', useful for capturing the yeast and proteins in the beer, making the drink clearer. Cask beers have more of this process.

Current technologies even allow brewers to use other methods in place of fish bladder, but this may not be a good guarantee for vegans.
