A recent email exchange for those interested:
I am a relatively new vegetarian and I just found out last night that breweries often use meat products in processing beer.
Do you use any meat products in your processing?
Thanks for your time and consideration.
There are no meats or meat by-products in our beer.
The items you are concerned about are “finings” which are used to clarify the beer.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finings
Many of the people that hear about this process hear about “Isinglass” which is a fish by-product
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isinglass
or about Gelatin which is a mammal by-products
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelatin(this is where the historical idea of sending old horses to the glue factory came from since gelatines were derived from hides and bones and used to make glue)
We do not use these products.
To the best of my knowledge, we use NO animal products or by-products.
Please feel free to contact me with any other issues or concerns you may have.

Anthony Sheppard
SHEPPARD, Anthony Norris December 6, 1935 - December 29, 2009 On Tuesday, December 29, 2009, Anthony (Tony) Sheppard of Edmonton passed away peacefully at the age of 74. Tony will always be dearly missed and fondly remembered by Emily, his wife of 46 years; son, Grant (Leslie); and two daughters, Shelly (Scott) Zurfluh and Lara (John Pierce). The legacy of his powerful and loving spirit will be carried on through his much adored grandchildren, Sara, Shelby, Adam, Ashleigh, Logan and a granddaughter expected to arrive early in the New Year. Tony also leaves behind his brothers, Roy (Elva) and Gary (Marlene); and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends that will always remember his kind heart and willingness to give all of himself to those in his life. Tony is predeceased by his father, Thomas Lowe Sheppard; mother, Margaret 'Daisy' Sheppard; stepfather, Cy Barker; brother, William 'Bill'; and sister-in-law, Helen. Throughout his fifty-three year career in the Insurance Brokerage industry, Tony was well respected for his honesty, integrity and knowledge, as well as his willingness to assist a friend or competitor in need. Tony was an avid supporter of the underdog and was passionately committed to the welfare of his community. He demonstrated this through affiliations with numerous charitable, political and community organizations. Tony loved people and lived life to the fullest. He treasured his time at the lake with his family and friends, and he and his wife enjoyed travelling throughout the world. Tony left the world and those whose lives he touched better than how he found them. He will live on in our hearts and our minds. Reverend Vic Perron will celebrate a Mass of Christian Burial at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, January 4, 2010 at St. Andrew Catholic Church, 12810 - 111 Avenue, Edmonton, AB.

We almost missed this historic date....
From the CBC:
http://archives.cbc.ca/politics/rights_freedoms/clips/1801/
Women become persons
Broadcast Date: June 11, 1938On this day in 1929, women are finally declared "persons" under Canadian law. The historic legal victory is due to the persistence of five Alberta women — Emily Murphy, Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby, Louise McKinney and Henrietta Muir Edwards. The battle started in 1916. From Murphy's very first day as a judge, lawyers had challenged her rulings because she is not a "person" under Canadian law. By 1927, the women have garnered support all across Canada. They petition the nation's Supreme Court. After five weeks of debate, the appeal is unanimously denied. Shocked, the women take the fight to the Privy Council of the British government; in those days Canada's highest court. On Oct. 18, 1929, they win. In this CBC Radio clip from June 11, 1938, Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King unveils a plaque commemorating the women activists in what became known as the "Persons Case." Nellie McClung, one of the only two surviving of the "Famous Five," speaks of the historic struggle. National Archives photo, June 11, 1938: Rt. Hon. W.L. Mackenzie King and guests unveil a plaque commemorating the women. [Front, L-R]: Mrs. Muir Edwards, daughter-in-law of Henrietta Muir Edwards; Mrs. J.C. Kenwood, daughter of Judge Emily Murphy; Hon.

We sponsored Miss dEdmonton....
First Miss dEdmonton Crowned!
Under a blood-red spotlight and with a bouquet of black roses the winner of the first-ever Miss dEdmonton Contest was crowned on October 13th. Joey Tramer massacred the competition with her combination of gruesomely gorgeous good looks, a terrifying command of Halloween knowledge, her ability to make even a painting bleed, and a scream that could raise the dead.
It was a battle to the undeath as the contestants competed for prizes from Amber’s Brewing, amokphoto, Ghoul Friday, Hallowindow, and Rowena – and for the ultimate honour of the crown, corset and converse from Karrie’s Costumes, Sweet Carousel and Divine. The judging panel consisted of Scott Mckeen from the Edmonton Journal, Angelika Gawronski from Shaw TV, and Mike Kendrick for the Gateway at the University of Alberta. Out of the three rounds and five finalists, only the vampire contestant named Darkrose achieved the coveted perfect score of 6-6-6 for her combination of poetry with sword-fighting.
Now that Miss dEdmonton has been unearthed the Halloween season can truly begin!
The new Miss dEdmonton will cut the inaugural intestine at the River City Zombie Committee’s Zombie Prom II – happening this Friday October 16th. It will start at 7:00PM in McIntyre Park in Old Strathcona, and then lurch along Whyte Avenue to Downtown. For the un-un-dead makeup demonstrations will be taking place starting at 5:00PM in the Arts Barns. So show up early in your finest tatters, let the makeup wizards work their macabre magic, and then stagger over to join the Zombie Hordes!
If the Zombie Walk wasn’t enough, Miss dEdmonton will be taking in DEDfest: Hellberta’s Horror Festival – running all weekend at the Metro Cinema theatre in the Citadel. And if horror really isn’t your style then you can join the denizens of dEdmonton at ABC Headstart’s Scarecrow Festival – now in it’s 17th year at the Edmonton Expo Centre this weekend.
A big thanks to all the contestants!
