Since we have had such an interesting discussion about beer vs icecream on another thread, I thought I would post a poll to make the challenge a little more statistical. If you chose "other" in the poll, please explain.

Can I choose both? Of course, not necessarily together.
Also, doesn't the answer depend on what one does with the beer and ice cream? Beer doesn't work that well on birthday cake, and ice cream, especially in some of its more exotic manifestations, doesn't go well with salted nuts or pretzels.
Neither is recommended for shaving.
Although I prefer beer over icecream if pressed to choose one over the other, I still enjoy a little icecream from time to time. Has anyone tried Ben and Jerry's Pistachio Pistachio ice cream yet? If you like pistachios then I highly recommend it!

whut ? Chocolate ice cream is good with salty snacks like potato chips or french fries ... and I have a favorite recipe for margarita pie that has a crushed pretzel crust and a lime kind of ice cream filling.

Sounds good... I might have to rethink this... over magarita pie! :) Can you post the recipe--I'm ready to be converted.
But that conceded, does a recipe exist that successfully combines beer and ice cream? (Time to google....)

Ha! I'd drink it for that name alone! :D I've happily had beer after running marathons, so I can imagine enjoying it after a swim meet, whether good, bad or indifferent.

Try the Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby (really good):
Chubby Hubby is chunks of chocolate covered peanut butter-filled pretzels in a rich vanilla malt ice cream with deep ripples of fudge and peanut butter.

oooooh. chubby hubby is an awesome flavor! and i personally think that pretzels go really well with ice cream, it's that whole salty/sweet contrast (like chocolate covered pretzels...)
but beer and ice cream, they definitely don't go together!
:)
i think that margarita pie also sounds really good. there's actually a creole/cajun restaurant in my town that serves it and it's supposed to be one of their best selling desserts...
