British pub sells special beer for dogs

An English public house has started selling a brand of beer aimed at dogs.

The Brandling Villa pub in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne, offers non-alcoholic, bubble-free drinks containing malt and beef flavourings.



Landlord Dave Carr told the Daily Mail that dog beer was originally put on sale to create an animal-friendly atmosphere.

"People seem to think it's a bit mental - we keep it in the fridge along with other beers and they ask what it is. People think it's just a normal beer with a ridiculous name," he said.

"I scoped the internet looking for ridiculous stuff, and we became dog-friendly. There aren't many pubs you can go to with your dog."

Carr also revealed that the pub now has a dog-specialised menu, adding: "The dogs were drinking water and eating biscuits, so we also created a dog menu, designed for dogs but based on traditional English dishes."
