Apparently some beer has fish in it
The Internet is a wonder; with it you get to learn all sorts of strange and interesting things. The other day a friend mentioned that I, as a vegetarian, shouldn’t drink Guinness because it has fish in it.
One quick Google search later and I learned that Guinness and other beers use Isinglass, which comes from fish bladders, as a finishing agent to clarify (remove sediment from) the beer. Strictly speaking, the
Isinglass stays on the bottom of the vat, but it’s likely that minute bits are still in the beer.
Wow, I wonder what else is in that glass. :-)
