美国酒保研制出狗狗饮用啤酒

 

Everyone knows dog is man's best friend. Isn't it about the time mankind did dogkind a solid and, you know, bought them a beer or something?

 

Thanks to an Oregon entrepreneur, dog owners can now buy a round of beer for their favorite canine¹（犬）. But in case you've got PETA on speed dial, don't worry -- this 'beer' contains no alcohol.

 

The new beverage² is called Dawg Grog, and it's the brainchild of Daniel Keeton, bartender（酒保） at Boneyard Brewery³'s tasting room in his native city of Bend.

 

Marketed as a "healthy, nutritional⁴, liquid treat," the concoction⁵ is made from low-sodium vegetable broth⁶, water, spent grain from the brewery and glucosamine.

 

Keeton launched Dawg Grog last July. His first retail⁷ customer, Visit Bend, says that the product falls right in line with the city's lifestyle.

 

"Two things that have become part of the Bend lifestyle are beer and dogs," Doug LaPlaca, CEO of Visit Bend, told KTVZ. "So to create something that would take advantage of the two we thought was a brilliant idea."

 

LaPlaca's store sells the drink for dogs right alongside human-only beverages⁸ from local breweries⁹. LaPlaca admits that it can cause a bit of confusion.

 

But novelty comes with a price. A six pack of Dawg Grog costs $36, which is roughly three times more than you'd expect to pay for a sixer of an alcoholic¹⁰ microbrew for humans.
