Beer is an interesting drink for vegetarians in that most of the ingredients of course are vegetarian. Malt, hops, water, and yeast are all fine for vegetarians to consume. One aspect of the beer drinking process and beer making process which is of some concern, is where they find the beer. Which is to try to make the bigger clear. They add a substance in which is made from part of a fish, which actually attracts all the bits of the yeast, like a magnet, and draws it to the bottom of the cask. That makes the beer clear and all the residue sits at the bottom of the cask. But inevitably it is a concern for some vegetarians of having this fish substance, in their beer.
