Our friends at Morning Edition picked up on the news from Newcastle, England, that has created a non-alcoholic beer for dogs and is inviting its customers to bring their four-legged friends in to have a pint or two.
Quite a few listeners seem to be clicking on , so we set off in search of more on the story. , not only is the pub serving the meat extract-flavored brew for pups, it has also created a dog-friendly menu that includes a Sunday roast with "cat-flavored gravy" (calm down, everyone, it's actually "a beef stock with fish sauce").
But it seems that brewing a beer for dogs has been done before. Here in the U.S., there's — a non-alcoholic brew made with malt barley and either beef or chicken. In the Netherlands, there's — another beef and malt brew ("kwispel" is the Dutch word for wagging a tail, The Associated Press says).
So, if you wish to enjoy a round with Rover, options seem to be available.
As for cats: we're not coming across any non-alcoholic beer made especially for them. If you know of any, let us know in the comments thread.
