Ireland is known as the land of Guinness, but vegans and vegetarians haven't been able to drink our adored black stuff due to the way the drink has been filtered. 

Until now, that is.

According to The Times, Guinness will become vegan-friendly due to changes in it's filtering process. 

The news comes after a Guinness spokesperson revealed this week that the company will stop using isinglass, a by-product of the fishing industry, for filtering.

The news has been welcomed with open arms by vegans all around the world and by 2016, Guinness will be totally vegan. Hurrah!
