Barkery

The genesis of Brew City Barkery didn't start out with an epiphany in the middle of the night. It started by combining the love of our dogs and beer. Anyone with a picky pet at home can attest that finding healthy treats your dog will eat is a challenging and expensive quest. We have such a dog, an American bulldog mix named Milo, who we adopted in 2013. Stella, our pitbull mix joined our family in 2015. She is more than happy to eat any treats that Milo turns away.

My husband, Kurt, began brewing his own beer at home as a hobby. During the production of beer, grains are combined together to create the flavor of a beer. Once the sugars of the grain have been drawn out through the fermentation process, what results is the left over husks of the grain. Normally home brewers discard this leftover grain into the trash. What a waste! After a little research revealed that not only was the leftover grain healthy for humans and animals, it was also a high source of fiber. After learning this, I became determined to make healthy, eat it every time, dog treats that contained this nutritious source.

With some trial and error and a lot of doggy drooling, the first batch of dog-approved, eat it every time, dog treats was born. With our kitchen full of healthy, all-natural dog treats we were excited to start passing them out to other dog owners we knew, to see if their dogs loved them as much as ours. When we found out how much their dogs were enjoying our treats, we decided to start Brew City Barkery, a gourmet dog treat company built on love and picky eaters... and beer.
