Dawg Grog: Sparkling Beer Invented for Lola Jane by Boneyard Beer Tap Man Daniel Keeton

Bend appeals to locals and visitors because of:

• Accessible geography;

• Beautiful landscape;

• Compelling past;

• Diverse resources.

The city claims prime locations on central Oregon's 65.87-mile (106-kilometer) Cascades Lakes Scenic Byway. It gives residents and viewers spectacular access to:

• Drake, Farewell Bend, Shevlin, and Tumalo State Parks;

• Horse Lava Tube System's basalt flow-formed, cave-like, 80,000+-year-old channels;

• Mirror Pond impoundment;

• Oregon Badlands Wilderness's 29,301.76 acres (11,858 hectares) of high-desert bitterbrush (Purshia spp), juniper (Juniperus spp), and sagebrush (Artemisia spp) and igneous castle-rocks

• Pilot Butte's 492.13-foot (150-meter) extinct cinder cone volcano within city limits as part of a state park and scenic viewpoint;

• Turpentine-scented western yellow pine (Pinus ponderosa) forests.

Continuous human habitation over 12,000+ years accounts for:

• The popularity of such practical outdoor sports as camping, fishing, hiking, rock-climbing, skiing, and whitewater-rafting;

• The proliferation of 18,500+ recovered adornments, objects, tools, and vessels exhibited and stored within Bend's slate-floored, volcanic rock-walled High Desert Museum.

Uninterrupted occupation includes logging-town, twentieth-century beginnings. It even inspires National Register of Historic Places status for:

• Bend Amateur Athletic Club Gymnasium;
• Bend High School;
• Bend Skyliners Lodge;
• Charles Boyd Homestead Group;
• Congress Apartments;
• Deschutes County Library;
• Downing and O'Kane Buildings;
• Drake Park Neighborhood and Old Town Historic Districts;
• New Taggart Hotel;
• Nichols Paul Smith Hardware Store;
• Old U.S. Post Office;
• Paulina Lake Guard Station;
• Rock O' the Range Bridge;
• Trinity Episcopal Church.  

Urban history begins in 1901 with the Pilot Butte Development Company's first sawmill. Profitable logging demands:

• Water;

• Weather;

• Wood.

The Deschutes River, Mirror Pond, Pacific Power Dam, precipitation, and snowfall function as regional water sources. Elevations 3,622.05 feet (1,104 meters) above sea level within the Commission for Environmental Cooperation-designated Eastern Cascades Slopes and Foothills eco-region give Bend the high-desert climate's star-studded nights and sun-filled days. Climate and convection invite proliferation of:

• Douglas (Pseudotsuga menziesii), Pacific silver (Abies amabilis), and subalpine (Abies lasiocarpa) firs;

• Huckleberry (Vaccinium spp);

• Lodgepole (Pinus contorta) and Ponderosa (Pinus ponderosa) pines;

• Mountain hemlock (Tsuga mertensiana);

• Pacific red-cedar (Thuja plicata);

• Rhododendron;

• Vine maple (Acer circinatum).

What supports logging also advances:

• Food, at American Licorice Company;

• Healthcare and social services, by ClearFlow, Inc. and St. Charles Medical Center;

• Publishing, from 1859 magazine, Leverage Factory, and Western Communications, Inc.;

• Recreation and tourism, on Mount Bachelor;

• Residential and retirement communities, through Black Butte Ranch and Sunriver;

• Wood products manufacturing, with Breedlove Guitars and Nosler.

The environmental configuration likewise encourages breweries, cideries, distilleries, meaderies, and wineries. Bend indeed gets high ratings for:

• Bend Brewfest;

• Bend Oktoberfest;

• Central Oregon Beer Week;

• Little Woody Barrel Aged Brew and Whiskey Fest.

It has all of its beer-, bourbon-, cider-, mead-, vodka-, and wine-crafting businesses within easy access of the city's Bend Ale Trail.

Boneyard Beer appears among Bend's craft breweries. The microbrewery exists thanks to experienced brewing and expert organization by:

• Anthony Lawrence;
• Clay and Melodee Storey.

The name honors the inauguration of the draft-only business on May 5, 2010 in a back-street, ex-auto shop with recycled 20-barrel-system equipment from 13 U.S.A. breweries. Product lines include:

• American amber / Red ale;

• American black, blonde, and pale wheat ales;

• American double / Imperial IPA;

• American double / Imperial stout;

• American and Belgian IPA;

• American stout;

• Chile and fruit / vegetable beers;

• Witbier.

Success throughout Oregon and Washington also is attributable to the three owners' across-the-board slate of savvy employees, including “Tap Man Dan.”

Tasting room tapper, Daniel Keeton, continues Boneyard's recycling commitments. He gathers spent grain into non-alcoholic Dawg Grog concoctions. The brew helps keep Daniel's canine companion, Lola Jane, and fellow canines throughout Idaho, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington energized and hydrated with:

• Cinnamon-, flaxseed-, ginger-, honey-supplemented glucosamine powder;

• Low-sodium vegetable broth;

• Mountain-fresh water;

• Reusable brewers wort;

• Vegan trace minerals.

It is marketed in six-packs of amber-tinted, 8-/16-ounce (236.59-/473.18-milliliter) bottles. It lends itself to:

• Diluting or serving straight-up, out-of-the bottle or out-of-the-bowl;

• Freezing into ice-cubed, on-the-rocks treats for teething puppies;

• Pour-overs into solid food-filled bowls.

Canines look particularly fetching in Dawg Grog bandanas, with human companions sporting Dawg Grog hats, six-pack totes, and T-shirts.

Alcoholic drinks typically do not appear in canine diets. Juices and wines definitely have to be avoided since grapes and grape juices are toxic to dogs. Canines like their human companions so much that they appreciate joining in on celebrations, get-togethers, meals, and picnics. They love:

• Helping their families;

• Maintaining their independence;

• Networking with fellow canines;

• Serving as designated walkers.

They notice when extra bottles or bowls are set for them. They observe what their human companions enjoy in order to share the fun of catching frisbees and downing rounds. Non-alcoholic, organic beers such as Dawg Grog respect canine and human rights to letting the good times roll during routine or special celebrations in mixed company.

My special thanks to talented artists and photographers/concerned organizations who make their fine images available on the internet.

Dogs no longer need to feel dispirited by an empty beer glass: non-alcoholic beer specially crafted for canines is a healthy alternative that pleases canine taste buds.

Canine beers such as Dawg Grog contain spent grain, the protein- and carbohydrate-based residue in mash-kettles that is a popular ingredient in animal feed.

Dogs are happiest and healthiest with their own, non-alcoholic, handcrafted beer.
