[ale] beer

[Pete Hardie]

Yeah, they spin the usual propaganda against anything they think is 'odd'
in the ingredient list - insect-based dyes (carmine, I believe) has been
proven safe.  Now, it's not vegan/vegetarian, but that's not a health issue.

Fish bladder?  I know of no studies that even discuss this, and unless it's
a fugu bladder, it's as safe as the fish.

Carageenan is from seaweed, and has no significant risk studies to date.

sheesh.  The only thing good about that list was that it did include most
of the crappy mass-produced swill that ruined the beer industry in America
