How do we deal with pawn pusher players like these? He denied his castling rights by pushing all his pawns forward. What should general strategy be here? Have i replied good or could have been better? Discuss.

Until 12.e5?, I'd say White was playing pretty well.  Then he sort of went nuts.  Simply 12.Nge2 followed by Be3 and O-O and White is just up a pawn.

You should be more concerned about the way you simply lost a pawn on move 8.  Your rook pawn became pinned to your unprotected rook, by your opponent's unmoved rook on a1.  Definitely a pattern to remember for the future!
