Oregonian Invents Beer for Dogs
Dawg Grog lets canines share a love of beer with their owners.
People from Oregon, I don't get you. Believe me, I've tried. I don't know whether it's your preponderance of used bookstores, or your unusually delicious ice cream, or your insistence that shorts and a t-shirt are perfectly acceptable attire for a fancy party, but I'm beginning to think that there's something fundamentally incompatible between the mindsets of New Yorkers and Oregonians. Case in point: If a New Yorker likes beer and dogs, he'll probably drink a beer while petting his dog. If an Oregonian likes beer and dogs, he'll invent a brew especially for consumption by pooches. Dawg Grog is a beer that only a dog could love, and one town in Oregon is using it as a marketing tool.
The story began when Daniel Keeton, a brewer at Visit Bend [http://www.boneyardbeer.com/boneyardbeer/Boneyard_Beer.html], a local tourism board. "Two things that have become part of the Bend lifestyle are beer and dogs," says Doug LaPlaca, the organization's CEO. "So to create something that would take advantage of the two we thought was a brilliant idea."
Dawg Grog isn't the first or only Dawg Grog [http://bowserbeer.com/] website instead, where a six-pack will set you back $36. That's admittedly a lot more money than picking up a few bottles of Sam Adams or Yeungling, but your dog can probably talk you into it. We both know how well he or she pulls off the "sad puppy eyes" trick.
