Today is Beer and Pizza Day! I absolutely love a cold, refreshing pint of beer- and pizza is also one of my favourite dishes to enjoy. Put the two together, and you've got a scrumptious weekend all sorted!
It's a common misconception that a vegan diet is restrictive and limiting. However, that's just not the case! I can still enjoy some of my favourite beers and pizzas, without breaking my vegan diet.
From delicious trips to the pub to making my own pizza dish at home, I love finding new, vegan ways to enjoy a tasty beer and pizza whenever I can.
In this post, I've put together 8 unique vegan ideas to try out this Beer and Pizza Day. So, get the dough out, pop open a can of beer and get ready to celebrate Beer and Pizza Day this weekend!
1. Purity Brewing Co. Bunny Hop Hazy Pale Ale
This pale ale is a great vegan beer option for Beer and Pizza Day this year! I've said it before, but I'll say it again, just because you're vegan- it doesn't mean you have to skip your favourite alcoholic beverages.
This low strength beer from Purity has a cool logo and it has a tasty, tropical aroma, including fruity undertones.
You can enjoy a couple of these beers, as they're not too strong but they're packed full of flavour.
2. Purezza
Purezza is the UK's first vegan pizzeria, and they have locations across the country, including Brighton, Hove, Bristol, Camden and Manchester.

Just because you're a vegan, it doesn't mean you can't go out and enjoy a delicious vegan pizza- and you can be safe in the knowledge that all of the pizzas at Purezza are completely vegan!
3. Sweet potato pizza
If you're looking for a vegan option, you can't go wrong with a bit of sweet potato! A sweet potato pizza gives you the chance to try a vegan pizza and even get a bit of nutrition at the same time.
The pizza base of this pizza is actually made out of sweet potato, and the pizza is topped with olives, vegan cheese, basil and onion.

4. BBQ pizza with cauliflower
Just because you don't eat meat, it doesn't mean you can't enjoy a delicious BBQ pizza!
This pizza looks absolutely amazing, and I really want to try it out this Beer and Pizza Day.

Topped with crispy cauliflower and vegan BBQ seasoning, as well as plenty of vegan cheese, this is the perfect substitute for a classic BBQ chicken pizza.

5. Wooha Brewing Hop Piñata
I absolutely love the name of this beer, and it comes in an adorable little bottle. However, don't be fooled- this is a strong, bold beer choice!
This beer is decadent and yummy, and it goes perfectly with vegan cheese- meaning you can team it with your new favourite pizza recipe, too.
Wooha Brewing Hop Piñata is fruity, sweet and rich. I can't wait to try this unique vegan beer option soon.
6. Vegan white pizza
Did you know you can enjoy a white pizza, even on a vegan diet?
This vegan white pizza is made using tofu, almond milk and a few other dairy-free alternatives, to help you enjoy a tasty white pizza without breaking your diet.
This pizza has simple toppings, including a range of herbs to give it that traditional, classic pizza taste.

7. Wild Beer Co.
The Wild Beer Co. has a huge range of beers that are all completely vegan. From sour beers to pale ales, they have one of the largest collections of vegan beers available in the UK.
I really want to sample some of Wild Beer's vegan options this Beer and Pizza Day, and many of their drinks can be found in local pubs and breweries too, if you fancy a night out.
8. Duvel Belgian Strong Ale
The Duvel Belgian Strong Ale has won World Beer Awards many years in a row, and it comes from a traditional family brewery that has been going for over 150 years.
This beer is delicious, filled with the taste of cloves, banana bread and honey sweetness. It should be savoured, as it is a strong but delicious beer addition to your celebrations this Beer and Pizza Day!
