This is largely because of the traditional use of fish-based finings (isinglass) which clarify yeast from beer. Just about any keg beer, including small batch and craft, won’t use this any more, its not needed or effective. And for bottled and cask conditioned beers/ales the price and effectiveness of vegan finings has gone down and up respectively quite a bit in the past few years, so non-vegan beers are definitely in the minority. Even in the UK (where cask is far more common).
Yeast are eukayotes part of the fungal kingdom you dolt. Although looking at the rest of your comments in this thread, it’s clear you’re just acting in bad faith for some reason.
That’s like saying a burger is plant based since the patty and cheese are the only non-plant based parts. That’s ridiculous and just not what the word plant-based means.
Wtf else could it possibly mean dude? I’m not even vegan but that’s exactly what I’d expect. Plant based is a meaningless term if you can throw animal parts in and still call it plant based.
You make a joke, but in fact many beers and wines aren’t vegan.

No idea about wine though.

Most of the big name beers here are actually vegan. Regardless of what your feelings are on American beer, they’re mostly vegan friendly.
how is yeast vegan? its an animal of the animal kindom 🧐
Hand sanitizer must not be vegan then, since it kills all those poor wittle germs 🥺
I knew I was doing the ethical thing by sticking to liquor!
That’s because vegan rules are ridiculously draconian. Vegan or not, all beer and wine is plant-based.
No, some are made by fining with animal products like isinglass (fish based) or gelatin (usually pig based)
Plant based ≠ 100% plant matter. Your absolutism is ridiculous and reminiscent of racist “one drop” policies.

There are more than just plants and animals. Mushrooms are neither plant nor animal. Fungi are their own classification
Although there are beers with lactose added (eg milkshake ipas have it for texture and taste), but those are an exception of course.
And still plant based. The lactose is an added ingredient, not one of the things that the whole thing is based on.
I suppose with this logic cheap sausage is also plant-based
Mental gymnastics
you mean ignorant
