Brewery creates Bottom Sniffer craft beer for dogs

Does your dog experience pangs of jealousy when he sees you enjoying your favourite craft brew? Bottom Sniffer, a beer for dogs that just launched in the UK, seeks to put that concern to rest.

The serving suggestion is 1 bottle per day, “as a drink, over food, in their favourite bowl or on a beer mat,” states its creators, Woof & Brew, on their new website. They add, as anyone who’s gone toe to toe with someone twice their size knows all too well, “you may wish to slightly alter this if you have a Great Dane or a Pomeranian”.

The pup brew contains no alcohol. Rather, it’s concocted from non-fermented beer wort with natural chicken flavoring, bladderwrack extract, and herbs like burdock and dandelion, so it’s nutritious in addition to being a perfectly safe libation. Whether it’s entitled to be called beer is up for debate, since even non-alcoholic versions of the human beverage by definition have gone through fermentation (the alcohol is then removed by decreasing pressure to induce boiling at room temperature).
