I'm vegetarian and I drink Guinness. Fish bladder is used in the filtering process of many alcohols. It all depend on how strict you are.
For example, does your daughter watch what sugar she eats? Many sugars are refined using animal bone char, which by some definitions, would make it not vegan/vegetarian friendly.
It's a matter of picking your battles, I think.

I agree, the isinglass they use is part of the process but they say not actually in the finished product so I thought it was fair enough. only beer she really drinks is Guinness or a cheeky cider she gutted. I'm ok with lager and a bacon sarnie tho |

"Ask her what her shoes and belt are made of :P"
Lots of women don't wear belts and I get my shoes from a special vegetarian shoe seller. Avoiding food processed with animal parts is much harder.

I'm a vegetarian and I drink Guinness. As far as I'm aware, there is no meat in it! Lol |

Also I've brewed many beers, ani have a friend who owns a brewery and I've never heard of any meat products in beers lol.
Somebody said something about fish earlier.
There is a chemical which is sometimes added to clear the beer at late stages. It isn't fish but it is from crustations. The amount added though is absolutely negligible. |

It's not that there is fish in the beer. The issue is the use of some fish parts in the filtering process.

If you have brewed you will have used finnings I assume which apparently are made with the swim bladders of fish. Most UK beer is brewed this way apparently. I know the more enthusiastic vegan types struggle for suitable ale. But she is a new veggie and is trying, not my thing but will support her with it. All new to me lol |

They use it to clarify beers and wines. A lot of companies use it. |
