Depending on your preferences, you probably found this title either deeply appealing or really disgusting.
If you're a dog, hopefully you felt the former, because this new product is designed for the furry set: Dog Beer. A company in Australia has concocted a brew specifically for Fluffy. It's non-alcoholic, but company owner Elise Schumacher claims it tastes just like normal beer. Apparently, she came up with the idea after she saw her own dogs, Louis and Vuitton, leaping up to catch drops of beer.
Some customers are paying up to five bucks per bottle for the stuff in Melbourne.
But it looks like Dog Beer wasn't the first to come up with this idea. A woman in the States makes Happy Tail Ale, specifically for canines - at only $1.50 a bottle.
Uh, and I know I don't have to tell you this, but dogs can't metabolize normal beer like we can - so please don't go trying to give your dogs a sip of your Sam Adams, okay?

Now she gets very excited when she sees a beer bottle -- any beer bottle.
