Dawg Grog

If your picking up a six pack of beer at Boneyard Beer, in Bend, Oregon, make sure you read the label. Brewer Daniel Keeton not only makes Pale Ales, IPAs and wits, he also makes Dawg Grog, a beer for dogs.

No, this is not a repeat.

Of course, it is non-alcoholic. It's made with low sodium vegetable broth, water, spent grain from the brewery and "a glucosamine supplemental powder that includes ginger, cinnamon, flax seed, and honey". It can be served as a treat, poured over dry food, or even frozen into cubes to help a puppy's teething pains.

If you're not in Bend, you can order online (and get a nice looking t-shirt for yourself, too).  A six pack of 16 ounce plastic bottles will set you back $36, and a t-shirt $26.

Truly a bargain for any dog lover.

"It Tastes of Beef"

The Brandling Villa pub in South Gosforth, Newcastle, England has a special menu for dogs, and with it a beer made specially for dogs. The Menu includes "Chicken a la Franc" - a dog version of chicken chasseur; "Eggs Ladybird" named after the chef's dog; and a Sunday roast with "cat" gravy (That's beef stock with fish sauce. No cats were harmed in the making of the dish.)

The beer, called Dog Beer, is made with malt and hops, but also includes meat extract.  The manager pronounced it revolting, after sampling some before giving to his dog.  The dog didn't like it either.

This isn't the first doggie beer.  Bowser Beer is made in Arizona (with beef or chicken broth and malted barley but without hops, which are toxic to dogs).
