My goal this week was to make a meatless chili with staples already in the house for lunches this week. Vegetarian or even vegan sounded good and so I set out to use beer as part of the flavor base. But I learned something new...not all beer is vegetarian...some producers add animal products such gelatin or isinglass in the process. I did a little research on my beer, Bell's Best Brown Ale, and found that this artisan producer, located near Kalamazoo, MI, doesn't use animal products in their production with the exception of 2 that they produce containing honey. So if you want this to be vegetarian - check out your beer! <br />
