Dutch brewers launch dogs' beer
Kwispelbier, marketed as "a beer for your best friend", is made from a special brew of beef extract and malt.
The beverage is a creation of pet shop owner Gerrie Berendsen, who wanted her dogs to share light refreshments with her after a day's hunting.
The beer is non-alcoholic and fit for human consumption, but costs four times as much as a Heineken.
"Kwispel" is the Dutch word for wagging a tail.
Ms Berendsen, who lives in the eastern town of Zelhem, commissioned the small local Schelde brewery to make and bottle the beer.
"Once a year we go to Austria to hunt with our dogs, and at the end of the day we sit on the verandah and drink a beer. So we thought, my dog also has earned it," Ms Berendsen told the Associated Press.
