Canned and Bottled Beer is suitable for Vegans and Vegetarians

All the canned and bottled beer is suitable for Vegans and Vegetarians.

This is because the bottlers filter the beer to remove the yeast rather than use Isinglass. Isinglass is a fish derivative and used to fine out the casks and so the Beer in Box is not suitable for vegetarians or vegans.

There isn’t currently anything denoting this on the labels of the beer but that is coming in the new year.

If anyone asks or is unsure they are welcome to get in touch.

Thank you.

Getting a Head from your Beer in Box

Beer in box does not generally have much or any head when poured directly from the tap, it’s more like Beer Juice if there is such a thing. However, if you’d rather have a head on your beer here are two homemade methods you could try.

The Blender / Whisk

For this method you could use a hand contraption, an electric one or some people have even put their frothy milk machine to good (better?) use.

Pour 3cm of beer into a glass jug. Blend this at high speed for 2-3 seconds. Pour the creamy mixture into a pint glass and top up from your Beer in Box.

The Syringe Method

At last, a use for all those syringes that come with children’s medicines!

Squirt a small amount of beer into the bottom of your pint glass a few times and a head will start to form. Then top up your glass from the Beer in Box.

For each method, it hardly needs saying that some personal experimentation for the perfect head will probably be necessary and time well spent. If anyone has any others that they use then please let us know.

Cheers!

Caring for your Beer in Box

Shelf life

These products contain fresh beer and have a short shelf life compared to bottled beer. The beer is best within 7 days of purchase, drunk as fresh as possible and within 2-3 days of opening.

Storage.

In these summer months, it’s probably best to keep the beer refrigerated and then brought out for approximately 20 minutes before drinking. The optimum drinking temperature is around 10 degrees Celcius.

When keeping your beer at fridge temperature please be aware that a harmless 'chill haze' may develop, the haze will not affect the flavour of the beer but may reduce its clarity.

It's also best to keep your beer out of direct sunlight.

If the beer is stored above 10 degrees the yeast wakes up and some further fermentation can take place. This will enlarge the bag with CO2. If this occurs, tap off the gas and the beer should not be affected.
