*bump fuck yeah, I'm drinking the same as usual, no point in posting a picture... I like beer and music a lot sometimes...
Ahoy ... not irie for Veggies / Vegans ... Isinglass, which is part of a fish's swim bladder is used in the brewing process
didn't know guinness wasn't veg. I don't know.... I don't think it will stop me. hell naw, I am living proof beer does a body gewd.
Ummm ... not now, maybe, but hey MV, give it a few years ... and you know LOL, only joking, it's when one drinks heaps of beer and is not very active. When I did 200m and 400m back in school my coach used to say that it was good for an athlete to have a bit of beer ... PS. What’s a bet NP is well on his way to joining the above gallery one day Ja, Isinglass is used in the refining stage … and yuck, it leaves loads of blood in the end product. Quite a few beers, lagers, pilsners, etc use it … sometimes other animal products. It’s always best for the strict Veg. to check the V-Friendly lists. Same goes for other alcohols, especially red wine, as blood is often still used for colouring. One Love!
ive known about isinglass for a long time, but i still choose to drink guinness. FALSE. there is no blood in isinglass. it's used to filter out the yeast before bottling. the isinglass isn't consumed because it's filtered out. do you say things like this to turn people off to beer? it seems that is your only purpose in this thread. i know it would fit your agenda if there actually were blood in beer, but that's not the case. i looked around and couldn't find any other animal products. could you give me some more information on animal products used to make beer?
Fact = Isinglass is made from Fish Bladder Isinglass breaks up during the refining process, leaving traces of it in the final product I have no agenda when it comes to posting on these forums … what could one possibly achieved here anyway? How hard did you look Bro? Even wiki mentions it: “Finings are substances that are usually added at or near the completion of the processing of wine, beer and various nonalcoholic juice beverages. Their purpose is for removal of organic compounds; to either improve clarity or adjust flavor/aroma. …Historically, various substances such as egg whites, blood, milk, and Irish moss have been used as finings. These are still used by some producers, but more modern substances have also been introduced and are more widely used, including isinglass, bentonite, gelatin …” There are loads of Vegan / Veggie forums and sites that you can read more on the subject, but that’s up to you. But maybe I shouldn’t post anything relating to alcohol, it tends to end up in a showdown. One Love!
yea but it's not blood or 'loads of blood' or even a little blood. i dont know. you always have some way to put down people that want to talk about drinking alcohol. thanks. i usually dont check wiki cuz its not always reliable, i checked the beer oriented forums and websites i visit and found that most of that stuff hasn't been used in beer in many years. now if you will excuse me i have to go do a line of coke and have unprotected interracial gay sex with a minor. :cheers2:
I'm starting to think vegan rastas are really queer. really though, I've never been strict veg since I have fish every so often. I'm more about sustainability, but most of all I am about feeling good about what I eat and enjoying it. I guess I'll see if I taste blood and guts next time I drink a guinness.
My ex-boyfriend was a strict Vegan and I used to tell him about the beer thing and he pretended that it was all a lie. Silly.
HUH … and how does one make a bladder 100% free of blood? Bro, that’s off point, it always a joke from my side, but gets taken personally by peeps, like yourself. Now come on Man, you can talk so much bull with everyone, but can’t take a little dig when it comes to boozing … LOL, are you like a border-line alcoholic or something? Well, like I said, check the Vegan / Veg sites and forums. I saw at least 4 before the last post … but figured that if it really bugged you, well, then you would check for yourself. Why not just smoke some weed and have sex with a Woman instead? One Love!
