–> Response from Flossmoor Station Brewer:

Hi Stacey,

Our beers are totally vegan. I’m a vegetarian myself and my wife is a vegan as well, and I know just what you’re looking for in regards to fining agents.

We don’t use any finings or filter anything, simply just grains, hops and water!

Cheers!
Nick
