Borderlands Brewing Company brews up “WOOF!” beer made for dogs

Borderlands Brewing Company brews up “WOOF!” beer made for dogs

Dec 28, 20201 min read

By now, you can agree that 2020 has seriously gone to the dogs, so to speak, and if you were to ask a four-legged friend how their year went, they’d probably say it was ruff. However, a new year is upon us and that includes new beers, too.

Now, your pooch can have a drink with you at Borderlands Brewing Company with its new Woof! brew that’s made exclusively for dogs.

The new brew, which is encased in a can that features some of the local dogs you may have seen cruising around the brewery, doesn’t contain alcohol of course, and it’s made out of bone-in pork butt, carrots, celery, ginger, turmeric, basil, and filtered water.

The brewery posted the following on Facebook:

“A brew for your pup! We at Borderlands love dogs so much that we decided to make a ‘beer’ just for them.”

The new beer is available now to enjoy at the brewery or to take home. Also, if your dog wants to stick around and savor the beer at the brewery, just remember that it’s considered BYOB (bring your own bowl).

If it’s something your dog wants to chug at home, try pouring it over their food.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.

“Indian food represents many different regions and cooking styles, featuring far more than the curries that it is popularly known for — though those are certainly found in abundance at Tucson’s Indian restaurants. For religious reasons, beef and pork are not common in the Indian diet, but carnivores can enjoy plenty of chicken, lamb, and seafood dishes. Most Indian restaurants have large sections of their menus devoted to vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dishes, too.

Kitchens are almost always accommodating about adjusting spice levels but as a rule of thumb, the hottest dishes are the vindaloos, while the mildest are the kormas and biriyanis.” — @ediebjarolim
