The Taylors and Dales estimate that they
will have collected around $300 in donations
for Save Underdogs by the end of May – in
just under two months since beginning this
program.
Just before Dales and Taylor implemented
the treat program to benefit Save Underdogs
in honor of Brew Dog Daisy, the idea of a new
craft beer collaboration with dog-friendly
BOTE was born. Vintage Distributors, which
delivers Destin Brewery’s craft brews to BOTE
locations, approached the Taylors, saying
“most paddle boarders love beer. Why not make a BOTE
beer?” Founder of BOTE, Corey Cooper, loved the idea and
the collaboration to develop an IPA began.
The Taylors went through only two iterations of pilot
batches to develop what they originally code-named
“Boat” Beer for taproom taste testers. Because IPAs usually
have a higher alcohol content, the Taylors decided to
develop a session IPA with lower alcohol content with the
hopes that the paddle boarders will remain standing up on
their paddle boards even after enjoying a couple of beers.
The project began in mid-January and concluded at the
beginning of April with product launches of the BOTE Beer
(4.2% ABV) at the Destin Brewery and each of the BOTE
locations on the Emerald Coast.
Whether you are a local or visiting the Emerald Coast,
be sure to stop by the Destin Brewery taproom with your
pup, sample cold craft brews and enjoy tasty Gulf Coast
gourmet dips from JC’s Gourmet this summer. Brew Dog
Daisy will be there to greet your pup with a delicious spent
grain treat in exchange for a donation to Save Underdogs!

Featured Drink

BOTE Beer

BOTE Beer is a Session IPA that marries citrusy
hops without the lingering bite of a traditional IPA.
Its lower ABV (alcohol by volume) of 4.2% makes
it highly drinkable, perfect for stand up paddling
excursions and all-day beach lounging.
