Beef Flavored Doggie Beer
Dogs like beer. I have seen dogs beg for beer too. But it took an enterprising Dutch Pet Shop Owner to finally bring a mainstream doggie beer to market.
From the AP here:
After a long day hunting, there’s nothing like wrapping your paw around a cold bottle of beer. So Terrie Berenden, a pet shop owner in the southern Dutch town of Zelhem, created a beer for her Weimaraners made from beef extract and malt.
Berenden consigned a local brewery to make and bottle the nonalcoholic beer, branded as Kwispelbier. It was introduced to the market last week and advertised it as “a beer for your best friend.”
“Kwispel” is the Dutch word for wagging a tail.
The beer is fit for human consumption, Berenden said. But at euro1.65 ($2.14) a bottle, it’s about four times more expensive than a Heineken.
If they put alcohol in that beer, I wonder how nasty a beef-flavored beer would taste? Or would it start a new trend?
