Buy Your Best Friend a Drink with New Beer for Dogs

If you've always wanted to have a beer with your best friend--man's best friend, that is--you now can. Happy Tail Ale, a beer made just for dogs has hit the market.

Happy Tail Ale, brewed by the Dog Star Brewing Company is the 'pet project' of 'brewmasters' Kevin and Jamie Miller of Napa Valley, California. The idea for the concoction and company came as most inventions do, by accident.

According to an article in the Napa Valley Register, the couple was camping with their 120-pound Kodiak Bear, Kodi when a beer bottle got knocked over. Kodi began to lap up the carbonated beverage. The Happy Tail Ale website adds that soon, Kodi would purposely knock over beer bottles, just to get a taste.

The idea hit to create a beer for dogs hit the Millers just before Kodi's second birthday as they pondered a gift idea for their four-legged friend. They thought about purchasing a non-alcoholic beer for Kodi, but instead, the canine cocktail was born.
