What Is Dog Beer Made of, Then?
The same stuff in dog food, for the most part. Busch Dog Brew, for instance, contains bone-in pork butt, whole corn, celery, basil, mint, turmeric, ginger and water. Bowser Beer is made from beef, chicken or pork — depending on the flavor — malt extract and glucosamine, which is added for joint health, as well as a few common preservatives. That means, yeah, you can safely sip some dog beer, too — if malted meat water sounds appealing to you.
Besides being non-alcoholic, dog beer is also free of hops, which can be toxic to dogs, and carbonation, which can upset their stomachs. Just check the label for serving sizes, pour some dog beer in a bowl and slam an epic shotgun while your dog laps it up

Dear PA: Alcohol toxicity is not as common as you may think, because dogs are not innately drawn to alcoholic beverages. However, accidents can happen. Just as with humans, the safety issue is not with the type of alcohol your dog consumes but rather, how much was consumed. For example, hard liquor, wine, and craft beer contain higher alcohol levels than lite beer.
If your dog does accidentally consume alcohol, it’s hard to know whether the amount consumed is at dangerous levels. The health and weight of the dog in relation to the type and volume are both variables to consider. For example, for toy breeds a smaller amount of alcohol would be considered is dangerous than for larger breeds.
The amount of ethanol needed to cause intoxication varies depending on its concentration in the substance ingested. The published oral lethal dose in dogs is 5.5 to 7.9 g/kg of 100% ethanol. One milliliter of ethanol is equal to 0.789 g.
