Beer for Dogs (Pairs Well with ‘Beggin Strips’)

Posted by Baylen on May. 13, 2008

hosehead.jpgIf you’re a pet owner, you know that beer isn’t something you want to share with your dog. (Apologies to Hosehead, pictured.) But that was before Holland’s kwispelbier (which in Dutch means tail-wagging beer), the healthy, beef-flavored, non-alcoholic brew for man’s best friend.

Kwispelbier just saw its debut in England–where it’s sold by retailer Pets at Home under the “Dog Beer” label.

Dogs are overjoyed. Just ask this pair of Weimaraners, happy kwispelbier slurpers they. Or some unemployed scientists.

Or you could ask jolly Helen Pearson.

Dog-owner Helen Pearson, 58, said she disagreed with [Dog Beer] because it encouraged people to drink alcohol.

The housewife, from Sherwood Avenue, Chaddesden, [England,] said: “If it’s that good for the dog’s health, you would be able to get it from a vet.

“There shouldn’t be bottles for dogs that look like that.”

Um, yeah. Anyways, there’s no word if Dog Beer is going to cross the pond just yet. An American competitor, Happy Tail Ale, is on “indefinite hiatus.” Still, if you act fast you might still be able to pick some up here.

  • Happy Tail Ale may be on hiatus, but Bowser Beer is very much alive and selling all over the States. We make a non-alcoholic beer for dogs so that they can party with their owners. Dogs love it because it's made with real beef. You have to have a sense of humor and an understanding of the tremendous bond between humans and their pets to see why people do want to celebrate with their pets.
