Never understood why people get so excited about a drink which makes your poo black and apparently has something to do with fish scales [xx(]

Best beer in the world is Kriek [:p]

[Dave-Bonner]

Nearly all beers (as I understand it) use 'isenglass(?)'/fish swim bladders as a filtering agent. Not sure how, but its the reason most beers aren't suitable for vegans, or so someone once said. Feel free to correct that if I'm wrong, someone (not that I don't assume someone will).

There is a web site http://www.isitvegan.co.uk where you can check out whether your beer is truly vegetarian. I notice that Blacksheep isn't.

I am not sure that many breweries use isenglass anymore. The real problem as to whether beer is vegetarian concerns the use of H-gelatin. Not sure what it adds to beer....

Almost right, fish products are used as "finings" which cause the yukky floaty bits to settle at the bottom the cleaned beer is then syphoned off leaving the sludge. Organic beers don't use this and this is why organic beers have a sediment in the bottom.

Apparently Grolsch is Isinglass free and therefore vegan. **** rubber tasting beer though.

Yes, some of the wheat beers have a sludge at the bottom of the bottle, they suggest that you shake the bottle before pouring to mix it up!
YUK!
No wonder it gives you a bad head!!
