A business in Yorkshire is selling special dog beer biscuits, meaning your dog can now join you for a Christmas day pint.
Whilst you're tucking into your Christmas dinner and case of lager, there's no longer a need to look away from your dog's longing eyes, as they can now join you for a pint or two (well, sort of).
You can now buy 'beer biscuits' for your dog to enjoy, made with leftover spent grain from Brewdog's best-selling Punk IPA.
The biscuits contain no hops or alcohol, so they're perfectly safe for your dog to eat, plus they're full of nutrition.
So don't worry if you've forgotten to pick up a present for the four-legged friends in your life, here's a last minute lifeline.
According to Brewski, the beer biscuits are '100% natural, low fat tasty treats [that] have absolutely no additives or nasties' in the recipe.'
There are two versions of Brewski's Beer Biscuits, both the result of collaborations with Brewdog.
One is their original Punk IPA and the other is a 'Hoppy Xmas' version, both available in Yorkshire and beyond in Brewdog can packaging, so your pup really feels like they're joining in on the party.

The dog biscuits are made in Ripon, but Brewski's Beer Biscuits are also stocked further afield by the likes of Waitrose & Partners as well as in the majority of Brewdog bars and hotels.
If you're still looking for a dog-friendly Christmas present, you still have the option to order online or collect in person, and still support a whole chain of independent Yorkshire businesses in the run-up to Christmas Day.
Brewski's is a lockdown success story that 'pupcycles' by-products from the brewing process.

Brewdog is their first collaboration, but one that has already proven popular with customers across the UK so far.
To truly pamper your pup, you could also treat them to a space on the sofa and time to watch their very own TV shows over the festive period.
Altered colours, audio frequencies and camera alignment have all been changed to suit the sensory needs of canines on DogTV, a new dog-friendly TV channel that launched in the UK last month.
After all, isn't the whole point of the Christmas period to watch mindless TV and eat and drink to your heart's content?
Leeds Christmas Markets is returning to the city centre in just two months' time and some major plans and changes have been announced.
Although Pop Princess Zara Larsson might want us to believe "Summer isn't over yet", it's safe to say that the recent downpours we've had across West Yorkshire disagree.
Leeds Christmas Markets are also ringing in the new season with a jam-packed video posted to social media announcing all the current plans and changes for its 2026 schedule.
This year, outdoor events company Thor’s Tipi are stepping up as the all-new operators of this Christmastime spectacular and are organising a celebration where 'even if you’re not from Yorkshire, you’re going to leave being from Yorkshire'.

Although Leeds locals already know that Yorkshire is 'God's Own Country', the Leeds Christmas Markets team are making sure that the county is represented through its food, drinks and wider stalls.
In a video uploaded to its social accounts, foodie expert and Little Bao Boy Founder James 'Jimmy Chews' Ooi was given the honour of revealing all these exciting plans.
Informing everyone that "You best come hungry", Ooi noted that some of the phenomenal vendors taking part include La Grassa and The Savvy Baker.
Real Markets Yorkshire and Stump Cross Caverns are also getting into the Christmas spirit and setting up their own stalls at Leeds City Square this November.

Rated restaurants and bars are contributing to the festive frenzy too, like Cabaret Thursdays at Italian restaurant Bibi's and beer garden destination Green Room are hosting singalongs at Leeds Christmas Markets.
There will be plenty of activities for families happening all around the unofficial capital of West Yorkshire like elf-themed scavenger hunts, various elves on various shelves and lots of live music.
If it wasn't apparent already, in the words of Jimmy Chews himself, there's about to be "So much Christmas that Mariah Carey is going to look like the Grinch".
Leeds Christmas Markets are returning to Leeds City Square from Thursday 19 November and there will be plenty of exciting announcements to the upcoming celebrations ahead of the big day.
