A Beer for Me  and  "The Same Again" for the Pig!

Customers of "The Pub in the Paddock" on the island of Tasmania are encouraged to buy beers for two resident pigs, Priscilla and P.B. The owner of the bar, Anne Free, rejects allegations of cruelty published in a magazine published by animal welfare group "Choose Cruelty Free". Anne says that the pigs love beer and also that she waters the beer down (that must cause some concern to patrons of the pub!) to ensure that the two hogs never become drunk. Swine certainly do love beer. Traditionally farrowing sows in Britain were given a gallon of "beer slops" from the local public house to "relax them". Often the beer was shared by the sow and by the stockperson who, in pre-prostaglandin-injection days, would stay up all night with a sow due to farrow. The beer would not only relax the sow for birth and suckling purposes, but also ensure good hydration of the sow. Traditionally brewed beers are also a good source of B vitamins.
