In 2024, a record-breaking 24 million people signed up for the movement! With that comes a wave of new vegan products and information from all kinds of brands. Exciting stuff!
At Triple Point Brewing, we haven’t just released a vegan beer for Veganuary - most of our beer is already vegan. However, we often hear misconceptions about vegan beer, so we thought now was the perfect time to debunk the myths we hear about the most. Here goes...
The truth: Nope! Not all beer is vegan.
Undoubtedly, vegan beer is becoming increasingly popular, but not all beer is vegan.
Many traditional brewing methods use animal-derived fining agents, like isinglass (made from dried fish swim bladders), gelatine, or casein to clarify the beer. Some beer styles also include non-vegan additives for flavour, like honey or lactose.
Vegan beer avoids all of these, opting for plant-based or synthetic alternatives (such as Irish moss, silica gel, or PVPP) instead. Some breweries even skip filtration altogether!
The truth: Wrong! Vegan beer tastes JUST as good as non-vegan beer.
The clarifying agents or sweeteners used in traditional brewing have little impact on flavour. This means vegan beers taste just as good. You’d be surprised how many beer lovers enjoy vegan beer without even realizing it!
The truth: Nope, not necessarily...
The cost of making vegan beer is comparable to traditional brewing methods. In some cases, it’s even cheaper! Because skipping fining agents or using plant-based alternatives can reduce production costs.
The price you pay for your pint often depends on the brand, style, and strength of the beer - not its vegan status.
The truth: Ha! We wish!!
While vegan beer avoids animal products, it can still be high in alcohol, calories, or sugar. Being vegan doesn’t automatically make beer a “healthy” food. Plants can still contain a high amount of sugar, which converts to alcohol and isn’t exactly good for you.
As with anything... moderation is key!
The truth: Ummm, no you can’t.
Can you tell if a beer contains honey just by looking at it? Of course not.
There’s no way to tell if a beer is vegan just by appearance. Some beers may be crystal clear, while others are hazy - regardless of if they’re vegan or not.
How can you find out if a beer is vegan? Check the packaging for certifications like the Vegan Society logo.
Like we do at Triple Point, many breweries highlight their vegan credentials on their websites - so keep an eye on the products in a brewery’s online store!
Cheers!
