My first thought is something rich. I like a dark belgian with something like mussels, or maybe cajun food, but not too spicy. Mmm or some homemade mushroom and sliced tomato pizza. Lots of things work, but I'd go for something with a strong enough flavor to be able to compete with the strong flavors of the beer, and savory to balance the sweetness of the beer. A stir fry with an asian sauce?

Pie crust is traditionally made with butter which is an animal product, but I believe that a vegetable shortening like Crisco would be usable. I think they have a butter flavored one too, but I'm not sure what that has in it.

Well, you can
a) Ignore the comments and get over it
b) Come up with a compelling argument and defend your position
c) Get over the fact that people will continue to make those comments, take them in stride and rinse the sand out of your ******.

Dude...You're picking on a girl...and a pretty damn nice one at that.

If you don't want to take grief for a life choice....stop publicizing it. You don't think that I've heard 10,000 grass skirt jokes? What about the brewers in Kilts? You don't think they hear constant man skirt jokes? Either deal with it, or stop telling people about it.

I don't think that the OP took offence to this...and I know Laurel didn't mean any harm buy it.

Time to take a chill pill, and we'll all be friends again.

It is probably almost as annoying as when vegans give me **** for eating meat, saying it is cruel and unnatural.

Whoa guys, this thing's going off again!

For the record, yeast is a fungus, not an animal, so it's fine for vegans.

haha. I like talking **** to everyone. I don't discriminate. Girls are fully capable of defending themselves.

Vegans who butt into people's business are as bad as others who butt into theirs. I just think that if someone asks for a food pairing and they get, "is there anything other than tofu?" and other snarky comments, why not be a snarky bitch right back?

If anyone took the time to actually read up on what they're talking **** about and maybe understand that just about anything can be made vegan (save the steak comments, please) then maybe they could actually be productive in these conversations.

Pie crust can easily be made vegan with vegetable shortening.

In that case, How about a nice TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) Burger, piled high with all the fixins? No animal products. Regards, GF.

Wow, I should have known better than to reference that fact that the wife is vegan. LOL. Well, for the record, I'm an omnivore, and she's a good girl. She doesn't force her opinions on anyone. And she's a damn fine cook, too. Can turn almost anything into a vegan dish, it's awesome.
We ended up eating barbeque meatless riblets, a side of roasted veggies, and drank the beer with our dessert: home made vegan pumpkin cheesecake. Yum!! Beer was pretty nice, definitely a dessert beer, and matched up well with the pie's spices.
