Safety Warning
Beer, alcohol, and hops are all toxic to dogs. Never let your dog consume any alcoholic beverages. Keep drinks at a height your dog cannot reach, and watch for spilled beer on the floor.
Hops are especially dangerous -- spent hops from the brewing process can cause malignant hyperthermia in dogs. Keep your dog away from brewing areas and any spent grain piles.
