Wacky Craft Beer Gifts Guide: Pets

We started out this series with Wacky Craft Beer Gifts Guide: Stocking Stuffers, but we know many of you craft beer lovers have pets that you love too. If we’re finding eclectic craft beer gifts for the special people in your life, how can this series possibly be complete without us also finding just the thing for Fido? Some of these items can even help you enjoy a craft beer while playing with your pet, which is ultimately the best of both worlds. Hope you enjoy our Wacky Craft Beer Gifts Guide: Pets!

A good owner always makes sure his or her dog is fully up to date on shots, licensed and all of that. And what better way to show off that you’re a responsible pet owner than on the dog’s collar? But, while you’re at it, why not show off your love of craft beer also? This collar from Victory Brewing Company proudly proclaims that your dog (or at least his owner) loves Victory Brewing! But, if you’re one of those types that always has your dog with you but never an bottle opener, maybe you should consider this collar from Terrapin Brewing. It comes complete with a bottle opener on it, proving that a dog really is man's best friend!

Now a collar is all well and good, but sometimes you need to make sure you keep your dog on a short leash. Guess what? There are breweries that make those too! We recommend this leash from Magic Hat. In brown and olive, it stylishly states: I’m a responsible dog owner... so feel free to invite me to have a brew with you. Also, guys, we all know there’s no better way to pick up a girl than with a dog. Reel them in with the pup, then let them know you have good taste with the leash.

Once you’ve safely got your dog to the park, or wherever you’re going, you’re going to need to let it blow off some energy. A good round of Frisbee is a great way to get your dog’s heart rate up and you get some exercise too (craft beer is full of calories, after all, so exercise is important for all of us... but we’ll cover more of that later). Check out this flying disc (it’s a Frisbee, but not Frisbee brand) from Long Trail Brewing Co. Nothing but the finest for your dog!

All this writing about walking and playing with dogs has gotten us hungry. After you take your canine out, he’s sure to be famished too. You don’t have to wait until you get home, though, to give him a quick snack or drink. These collapsible portable dog bowls from Terrapin Brewing Co. allow you to get your pet some food or water anywhere, say, if he's lucky enough to join you on the patio at your local craft beer bar as you enjoy a well earned pint!

Now that craft beer stocking stuffers and Fido are taken care of, we’ll be on to bigger gifts in the next articles, so stay tuned!
