People drink a lot of rum, whiskey and beer, but have you ever wondered whether they are vegetarian or non-vegetarian? Actually, sometimes such things are used in these drinks which make them non-vegetarian. In such a situation, how to identify whether the drink you are drinking is vegetarian or non-vegetarian, let's try to know the answers to these questions.
Rum vegetarian or non-vegetarian?
Usually sugarcane juice or jaggery, water and yeast are used to make rum. Its fermentation and distillation process is completely vegetarian. To make it, sugarcane juice is fermented with yeast, then rum is prepared by distillation. It does not contain any animal-based ingredients.
Whiskey vegetarian or non-vegetarian?
Whiskey is made from grains (such as barley, corn, rye, or wheat), water, and yeast. It also goes through the process of fermentation and distillation. To make it, the grains are malted, then fermented and distilled. It usually does not contain any animal products.
Is beer vegetarian or non-vegetarian?
Beer is mainly made from barley, hops, water, and yeast. To make it, barley is malted and fermented, then beer is prepared by adding hops. However, some beer brands use isinglass or gelatin for filtering, which is obtained from fish bladder. So if isinglass has been used in your beer, then the beer is non-veg.
