Do vegans consider eating yeast to be eating animals? Bread and beer are cool or not?
yeast are fungi.
eat, drink, and be merry.
but Barut, as a new vegan, you should know:
Many types of beer, wine, and I think liquor, make use of "finings" -- substances to pull the yeast sediment out of the alcohol after fermentation--and some of those are animal-based: egg, fish, blood, etc.
But, I think many many beers don't use animal finings, including most of the major American breweries.
but, in any case, the overall quantity of animal products used is probably not that great, and if someone is vegan to eliminate the majority of animal products from their diet, and realizes they can't be perfect and is okay some byproducts here and there, they might not be too worried about it.
For the truly discerning vegan drunkard, however:
Vegan Beer - Vegan Wine - Vegan Liquor
