Beef flavored beer? It’s for the dogs!
Pooch hooch? Yep, now man’s best friend is getting in on what his owners have been enjoying for thousands of years … beer. Imported from Holland under the name Kwispelbier (“tail-wagging beer”) it is being sold in the UK for 1.99 pounds per bottle.
The non-alcoholic beef flavored beer contains potassium, protein and fats. The article says, “Made using a traditional brewing process, the drink contains malt barley extract. A spokesman for Pets at Home (a UK store selling it) said: ‘While initially people may think of the drink as a novelty, it makes a delicious treat for a thirsty dog … It also encourages drinking, which is good for the kidneys, and is a great source of vitamin B … It means pets are even more a part of family life as they can enjoy a beer, too.’ ”
Do any pet owners out there know of anything like this being sold in the States? Read the whole story here.
