Beers that aren't vegan typically use animal-derived fining agents like isinglass (fish bladder), gelatin, or casein (milk protein) for clarity, often found in traditional British cask ales, and some specialty beers like milk stouts (lactose/whey) or those sweetened with honey, while many mass-market lagers and German/Belgian beers using purity laws (water, grain, hops, yeast) are vegan. Always check resources like Barnivore or the brewery's website for specific brands like Carling, Fosters, or certain Guinness varieties.
When it comes to the popular lagers you're likely to find in the pub, avoid: Coors, Fosters, Carling, Kronenberg & Amstel. Vegan: Heineken, Beck's, Budweiser, Peroni, Birra Moretti, Grolsch, Hoegaarden, Pilsner Urquell, Staropramen, San Miguel, Stella Artois, Tennant's, Tuborg, Tyskie and my favourite: Asahi.

Miley Cyrus stopped being strictly vegan because she experienced health issues, feeling malnourished and that her brain wasn't functioning properly after six years on the diet, leading her to reintroduce fish and omegas for better brain function, though she still values animal welfare. She noted feeling "much sharper" and healthier after adding animal products like fish back into her diet, which was a difficult transition emotionally, but a necessary one for her body.

Which beers are suitable for vegans?
Yes, 0.5% alcohol by volume (ABV) is generally considered alcohol-free or non-alcoholic in many countries, as it's the standard threshold for "near beers" and beverages legally allowed to be labeled as such, containing only trace amounts that don't cause intoxication in most people. However, for specific groups like pregnant individuals or those with liver conditions, even this tiny amount might be a concern, and they should consult a doctor, as some foods like ripe bananas and orange juice also contain trace alcohol, notes Sansorium and ABC News.
