I'm presuming both forms of chips can be non-vegan due to the potential of being cooked in animal fats, what's potentially wrong with the salad and/or beer?
Not only animal fats, I've seen chips that had milk listed as an ingredient. But yeah for fries it's mostly the possibility that there's animal fat involved.
Salads often have dressings with dairy ingredients, or just straight up have cheese thrown in
Alcohols are often processed with animal products, like isinglass (made of fish bladders) which is used in clarification. Mostly a concern in wine but I think it's used in (some?) beer too
Unfortunately some sours are started with dairy yogurt (Oakshire Brewing in the US does this for all theirs), and there was a quick trend of lactose IPAs. Generally these things are outlined on the label, but not always. Worth a check whenever you’re considering a sour, at least.
