Vegan drinks list!

For those of you who thought being vegan was a doddle - here's a list that a 'real' vegan compiled for us of drinks we can and can't have!

IN GENERAL:

Anything from Arjuna is ok; anything from the co-op is labelled as being vegan-friendly or containing animal products; Bacchanalia has a wide range of unfiltered ales, ask at the counter. Wine - pretty much russian roulette unless bought from Arjuna or Co-op. Good to ask companies what they do, keeps them on their toes... :-)

NOT VEGAN:
Belgian: Leffe
Lager: Fosters, Stella, Carling.
Beer: Newcastle Brown. Pretty much anything in a keg - some bottles ok, see below, except London Pride which is apparently. Good on them. Anything made by Guinness. Tetleys, John Smiths. Caffreys.
Cider: Magners, Strongbow

VEGAN:
Pretty much all spirits, obviously except liqueurs containing cream, or Advocaat which has egg in it.
Belgian: Duvel, Heineken, anything advertised as unfiltered (also includes some American bottled ales)
Lager: Budvar, most German lager/bier, Budweiser, Carlsberg, Becks, Heineken, Kingfisher, Cobra, Lal Toofan
Beer: Sam Smiths beers, Shepherd Neame beers like Bishops Finger, Spitfire etc. - but only in bottles. Badger ales. London Pride.
Cider - Westons is all ok, including Stowford Press, Old Rosie etc. Aspalls.

NOT SURE:
Grolsch - conflicting information... Red Stripe. New Polish beers like Lech, Tyskie. Anything by Bulmers apart from Strongbow e.g. Woodpecker, Bulmers Original etc. is now in doubt - all used to be ok but they've recently screwed up Strongbow so I don't trust them any more. Again, good to pester.

P.S. I've noticed that Marks and Spencer have also started labelling vegan wines properly - last year when I did this, they only marked them as vegetarian...
