If any Irish breweries wanted to employ some brew dogs, we wouldn't be against it...

Stories of businesses getting creative when it comes to delivering their services have been a staple of internet life during the pandemic.

But this brewery from the USA may have just gone and blown all the competition out of the water, with their adorable 'brew dogs'.

The business in question, Long Island-based Six Harbors Brewing Company, have employing their two golden retrievers Buddy, 3, and Barley, 1, out with them on while making deliveries across New York.

But what started as a bit of fun designed to cheer up customers and keep their pet pooches entertained and by their side has quickly evolved into a key component of their service. 

“People started seeing the dogs on the deliveries, and so we came up with the idea of having them [help] bring the beer to them,” Mark Heuwetter,  co-founders Mark and Karen Heuwetter explained to CNBC.

It is worth noting though that the cans themselves are empty, so as to not hurt the delivery dogs - it's all really more of an adorable show to put smiles on peoples faces.

“We’re dog-loving people and we wouldn’t want to have them get hurt in any way or shake up the beer,” Mark says. 

Buddy and Barley would certainly give us a smile if they came bounding up to our front door.
