This looks like fun. 
By the way-- how come not all beers are vegetarian?

A lot of beers (especially real ales) are fined using isinglass, which comes from the swim bladders of tropical fish. Some beers also contain animal-derived additives.
There is a useful factsheet available on the UK Vegetarian Society Website: http://www.vegsoc.org/info/alcohol.html#beer if you'd like to know more. Hope that helps.
