春节到了 给你的爱犬来瓶啤酒!
Pet shop owner creates beer for dogs

Beer for your best friend

After a long day hunting, there's nothing like wrapping your paw around a cold bottle of beer. So Terrie Berenden, a pet shop owner in the southern Dutch town of Zelhem, created a beer for her Weimaraners made from beef extract and malt.

"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," she said.

Berenden consigned a local brewery to make and bottle the nonalcoholic beer, branded as Kwispelbier. It was introduced to the market and advertised it as "a beer for your best friend."

"Kwispel" is the Dutch word for wagging a tail.

The beer is fit for human consumption, Berenden said. But at euro1.65 ($2.14) a bottle, it's about four times more expensive than a Heineken.

狩猎了一整天后,没有什么能比抱着一瓶冰镇啤酒狂饮一通更过瘾了。所以,兹尔汉姆郡荷兰镇南部的一家宠物店的店主特莉·布兰登,用麦芽和牛肉汁专为她的威玛猎犬酿制了一种宠物“啤酒”。

特莉说:“每年我们都会和狗狗们去奥地利狩猎一次,忙了一整天后,我们常会坐在走廊上喝啤酒。于是我就想,我的狗狗也应该得到这样的待遇。”

之后,布兰登委托当地一家酿酒厂酿制出了一种不含酒精的瓶装啤酒,并在瓶上贴上Kwispelbier的商标。目前这款啤酒已被引入市场,它的广告语是,“你最好朋友的啤酒”。

Kwispel是荷兰语,意思是“摇尾巴”。

布兰登说,这种啤酒人也能喝。但这款啤酒每瓶售价1.65欧元(2.14美元),是一瓶喜力啤酒的四倍。
