Which beers are vegetarian?

Answer 1

I am not aware of any beer made with meat or meat by-products. The entire idea sort of makes my stomach turn. I think most, if not all, beer is made from all vegitable (non-meat) materials: water, hops, barley, malt, and yeast (which is kind of alive, but not really in the "moo cow" way). Then you can add a whole host of other ingredients like spices, fruits, and so forth to broaden the flavor.

However, meatloaf and sausages are never used in the fermenting process as far as I know. You can try it if you wish, but... please don't invite me to the sampling party. I think beer is a pretty safe vegan option... unless the whole yeast/bacteria thing qualifies as "animal."
