What to wear?

I am so glad you asked! 

Introducing our "Brewmaster Pup" Beer-Themed Dog Bandana – the perfect accessory to showcase your furry friend's love for both good company and great brews! This unique and stylish bandana captures the essence of your dog's playful spirit and your appreciation for quality craft beers.

Cheers to Personalization

On one side, our Brewmaster Pup bandana features a charming pattern of adorable beer mugs, each brimming with character. But what sets this accessory apart is the personalized touch it offers. We know your pup is one-of-a-kind, so why not celebrate them with their very own name alongside the cheerful beer mugs? Whether your dog's name is Max, Bella, or something more unconventional, this bandana proudly showcases their individuality.

A Taproom of Flavors

Turn the bandana around, and you'll find a beer lover's dream come true! The reverse side is adorned with an array of intricately designed beer types – from rich and robust porters to velvety stouts, refreshing lagers, and crisp pilsners. It's like having a taproom on your dog's back, celebrating the diversity and artistry of the craft beer world.

I also have a matching poop bag dispenser, bow tie and pilsner squeaky toy! And a drinking buddy bandana that is available in many colors.
