Have you tried Bowser Beer? You hope not, it’s a beer for dogs. If you did drink it and you love it, don’t worry, Bowser beer is made from human grade ingredients. You won't grow a tail, I think.

Bowser Beer has no hops, no carbonation and no alcohol. It is almost not beer and it probably cannot be called beer in some countries. The company also offers a chicken flavored beer called "Cock-A-Doodle Brew."

It is amazing that we are creating beers and other products for dogs. I am curious if dogs would select beers if given a choice between beer, milk and other drinks. My guess is that dogs are not fond of beer but it has been developed more for business reasons rather than taking into consideration the clients preferences. I used to have a dog and he was certainly not fond of alcohol. He resented me if he smelt alcohol in my breath, unless I also had food for him. I almost always bought food for him and me after a night out in town! Bribery works in the canine world too. 

For me the word bowser refers to the fuel dispenser at petrol stations. I am sure the brewers did not have this in mind when naming the beer Bowser beer.

  2. Wow this caramel decoration is amazing... really "easy" though? The name "Cock-A-Doodle Brew" is pretty creative... but not sure if I'm interested in drinking. :-)

  9. Hannah: "frog in a log" – what an interesting sounding name. Is this a variation of toad in a hole, but having real frogs:)

    Nami: it is easy when you see the instructions. Looks complex though

    Raymund: it is easy when you see the instructions. Looks complex though

    ping: very appetising names indeed. I am familiar with "toad in a hole" but not "frog in a log". Maybe the latter has a real frog. Or maybe the Malaysian version uses toads:)

    Kitchen Belleicious: eating is sometimes more fun for sure!

    Mary: it is amazing

    Sissi: we live in a world with many people having weird ideas! Poor dogs have to suffer, maybe!

    Junia: thank you!
