If you haven’t heard yet, hops can be deadly for your four-legged friend, so giving them a taste of your beer just isn’t a good idea. So far, the exact amount that’s dangerous to dogs is unknown, therefore the official recommendation is that you keep your beer to yourself and if you are a brewer, keep any spent hops far away from Fido.
But what do you do when your dog looks up at you with those dark, sweet eyes, wondering why you aren’t sharing your tasty beverage with him? Well, a few breweries have taken it upon themselves to solve this colossal problem and have been brewing non-alcoholic dog beers, safe to consume and made for canines to enjoy. Here are a few dog beers that you can crack open the next time you want to share a cold brew with your best friend.
This Brazilian beer is aptly named and is actually pretty popular south of the equator, It’s made with meat, water and malts. Sounds delicious!
Bowser Brewing Company specializes in dog beers and have three different flavors for your pup’s enjoyments. Beefy Brown Ale, Cock-a-Doodle Brew and Porky Pup Porter which is packed with malt barley and glucosamine for joint health.
Dawg Grog bills itself as not only a beer for dogs but also a delicious and nutritious dog beverage. It’s made from brewer’s wort (malted barley water) from a real brewery named Boneyard Brewery. What this one different is that it’s vegetarian using all vegetarian and or vegan ingredients. Not sure what the benefit of a vegetarian dog beer is but we are sure there is a market somewhere for it.
This Belgian dog beer has canine fans all over the world, from Europe, to Hong Kong, to South Korea. This brew is made with human grade ingredients so just in case you felt the need to imbibe too, go for it. It comes in two flavors, beef and chicken and uses extracts rather than broth as its base.
There you have it! Four different dog beverages that say “I love you” to your four-legged bestie.
