FYI, we did pretty much cover this a month ago on this thread: http://sportsbabble.co.uk/showthread.php?tid=9514

All beer would be vegan if it wasn't for the fact that isinglass finings - ground-up fish bladders turned into a thick, gloopy whitish liquid - are used to help the yeast settle at the bottom of the cask, and thus ensure a clear pint. Irish moss is a natural alternative to isinglass, but it doesn't do the job half as well, which is why most brewers reject it. Still, most wheat beers are vegan-friendly as they simply leave the yeast in suspension, and a large number of commercial lagers use all manner of godawful chemicals in place of isinglass, which apparently is "better" according to vegan thinking.
