Dog Days of Summer
Posted by on
The dog days of summer are finally upon us. Time to kick back with a cold pint and your best bud enjoying the warmth of the sun. Get out there and make the most of while you can after all it won’t last forever and we’ll be back to cold and snow soon enough.
Summer is also a perfect time to bring the brewing equipment outside. Brew up your favourite batch outside with friends. Make a day out of it, post pictures to social media and hashtag #beergrains we would LOVE to see them!
While you’re brewing save your spent grains and make a special treat for your pooch.
Dogs love treats….heck humans love treats! Why not make some healthy treats for your dog to enjoy while you enjoy the wonders of your labour?
I stumbled across a simple recipe while searching online for something to do with my spent grains. I would love to take credit, but can’t thanks to Deschutes Brewery out of Bend Oregon for the dog treat recipe.
