Soxy Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 No, for serious! Pet shop owner creates beer for dogs Mon Jan 22, 8:38 AM ET AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - 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. "Once a year we go to Austria to hunt with our dogs, and at the end of the day we sit on the verandah and drink a beer. So we thought, my dog also has earned it," she said. 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.

It'd be better than drinking pisswater every weekend, that's for sure. (I will still take my pisswater at $13.99 a 30, thank you very much) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
