Love a stout beer? Guinness finally went vegan! For a long time they used isinglass (derived from fish) in the production process, but they managed to come up with a different way of making it. Please note, draft beer is vegan but bottled Guinness not yet.

Spotted at Rijnstraat – this sticker of animal sanctuary Stichting Melief!
