FAQs

Are all lagers vegan?

No, a lot of lagers on the market aren’t vegan, because isinglass (a product obtained from fish) is often used in the filtration process. However, that’s not the case for our Skinny vegan lager as we use different filtration methods.

Are all lagers gluten-free?

Most lagers contain barley, so you should avoid them if you don’t want to consume gluten. Gluten-free lagers are available on the market however they are  usually made by excluding gluten (i.e. barley) from the ingredients and therefore taste different to traditional lagers that are made with barley.

When making Skinny Lager, we brew using barley which ensures that we keep the full flavour,  traditional taste of lager. Then we remove the gluten to a value of <10ppm which is below the <20ppm required for us to be gluten-free beer that’s certified by the Coeliac Society.

How many calories are there in a pint of lager?

Calorie content in lagers can range depending on the manufacturer, but for example, a pint of San Miguel has 256 calories, a pint of Peroni has 235 calories, while a pint of our lower calorie lager, Skinny,  has only 149 calories.
