Smith Collective INTRODUCTION ------------ The purpose of this pamphlet isn't to preach about why you shouldn't eat animals and how animals are tortured because of societies consumption of them. It has been compiled as a working reference for those who are most likely vegan, and who wonder if Dihydroxyethyl Soyamine Dioleate in their favorite potato chips is vegan (which it isn't). This pamphlet is comprised of several different articles from all over the country. There where a lot of things that we had collected that we wanted to include but due to the space constraints we where forced to carefully select articles that stayed consistent with the original goal we had set out to accomplish. The Possible Animal Derived List in this pamphlet requires some explanation. This is a myriad of ingredients that fit into two categories. The first, are ingredients that are most likely animal-derived, but no confirmation has been given by the manufacture(s). The other are ingredients that in some cases are animal-derived, but not always. Usually it is best to use you're best judgement. Lecithin for example will say Soy-Lecithin if it is not derived from animals, on the other hand some ingredients offer no clue to their origins. It is usually best to avoid most of the products listed in this section, just to be safe. The booklet focuses mainly on food, but it also extends somewhat into shampoos and other products that even people of the meat-eating culture wouldn't normally eat. We have tried to be as thorough and correct as possible, all the information contained in this publication is from reliable sources, all of which are documented at the end, and most have been double checked with our own resources. If you find any additions or corrections please direct them to E.G. Smith Press, P.O. Box 02026, Columbus, Ohio, 43202 -- please include sources and explanations. E.G.

The following is direct quotation: "The following brewing companies have assured PETA in writing that all their various beers are made without animal-derived ingredients, additives, or processing agents: Anderson Valley Anheuser-Busch Barley's Beach Beck's Big Dog's Hospitality Group Blue Ridge Brick Carlsberg-Tetley Columbus Courage Dallas County Dempsey's Deschutes Dock Street Dubuque Eddie McStiff's Fremont Fullers Golden Pacific Grant's Yakima (but Grant's Apple Honey Ale uses honey) Greene King Grolsch G. Heileman Irons James Page Jones Street Lakefront Latrobe (Rolling Rock) Les Brasseurs du Nord Lost Coast Mad River Manhattan Beach Masters Brewpub & Brasserie Miller Miracle Nelson Nevada City North Coast Nouveaux Brasseurs-Bar L'Inox Odell Onalaska Oranjeboom Otter Creek Otto Brothers' Pacific Hop Exchange Pennsylvania Pete's Pyramid Ales Ragtime Tavern Rainier Richbrau Roslyn Samuel Smith San Andreas Scottish & Newcastle Shan Sui Sharky's Shepherd Neame Sierra Nevada Silo Sleeman Sonoma (Dempsey's) Spinnakers Brewpub Sprecher Star Steelhead Table Rock Telluride Thames Valley Treaty Grounds Triple Rock Truckee Umpqua Upper Canada Vaux Brewery Weeping Radish Whistler Whitbread Beer Woodstock Young & Co. All German beers are winners, because all are vegan. Bavarian purity laws limitthem to 4 ingredients only: water, grain, hops and yeast." Also: "Among the breweries making vegan nonalcoholic beer are Miller (Sharp's), Heileman (Kingsbury), and Anheuser-Busch (O'Doul's Premium Non-Alcoholic Brew)."
