There are seven main types of beer:

• Ale – A top-fermented beer with a wide range of flavours, from fruity to malty.
• Lager – A bottom-fermented beer, typically lighter and crisper, and known for its clean and clear finish.
• Pilsner – A type of lager with a golden hue, characterised by its sharp hop bitterness and refreshing crispness.
• Stout – A dark, rich beer with prominent roasted malt flavours, often accompanied by coffee, chocolate or caramel notes.
• Porter – Dark in colour and balances sweet and roasted malt flavours.
• Wheat beer – Light and airy, often with hints of banana or clove.
• IPA (India Pale Ale) – A hop-forward style that typically features a pronounced bitterness alongside intense citrus, floral or piney flavours.

Some beer can be vegan, depending on the ingredients and how it is made. Most basic recipes, which include water, malted barley, hops and yeast, contain no animal products. However, some beers use animal-derived products to clarify their beer and make it less hazy. This can include isinglass (derived from the swim bladders of fish), gelatin (from animal collagen), casein (a milk protein), and albumin (derived from eggs).

Occasionally, beers are brewed with non-vegan ingredients for flavour, colour, or other properties. Examples include:

• Honey
• Lactose (a sugar derived from milk, often used in milk stouts)
  
• Oysters in some speciality stouts

To be confident that your drink is vegan-friendly:

• Check the label, as some beers will state that they are vegan.
• Consult the brewery’s website or contact them directly
• Use online databases or apps that catalogue vegan and non-vegan drinks.

Beer, in its traditional form, is not gluten-free. This is because it’s made from malted barley or wheat. However, there are exceptions and alternatives available for those seeking gluten-free options.

• Gluten-free beers are made from grains such as sorghum, rice, millet, buckwheat or corn. They do not contain any wheat, barley or rye.
• Gluten-removed or gluten-reduced beers are made from traditional brewing grains, including barley, but have undergone a process to break down or remove gluten to a certain extent.
