Beer for Dogs
Follow the link above to read about a new beer for dogs. Created in the Netherlands from beef extract and malt, the beer actually costs more than a Heinekin, so you have to be really fond of your dog to buy it!
I found one other beer that appears to be brewed for dogs especially:
Happy Tail Ale (interestingly enough, the Dutch name for the beer in the news story is dutch for wagging tail). A theme developing, I think. Also made from malted barley and beef drippings.
Flying Dog Ales -- I think, in spite of the names of the brews, that these are actually for people. But they offer Flying Dog, In Heat Wheat, and Tire Biter, among others.
I have known dogs who were fond of the "people beer" they occasionally got. Here are a few websites about beer and animals:

All About Beer A nice article surveying the history of dogs in beer advertising, labeling, pubs, etc. Kind of fun.
Dear Readers,
ReplyDeleteI ran across an important scientific study of dogs and beer at the very respected The Onion:

Very scientific experiment with a control. Urm.
