Bright Brewery is thrilled to announce the release of DoggoBrau Tropical XPA on Friday November 8 2024. This year’s edition features a heart-warming tale of bravery and loyalty, starring Kona, a majestic Maremma.

Kona, a rescue dog from Tiki Animal Rescue, captured hearts with her heroic act of saving a baby goat from an eagle’s attack. This incredible story, shared by her owner Andrew Frith, perfectly embodies the spirit of DoggoBrau.

The same great beer, a new paw-some look.
DoggoBrau 2024 offers the same delicious tropical XPA you’ve come to love, now with a captivating new design showcasing Kona’s stunning image.

A Pawsitive Impact
Since its inception, DoggoBrau has been committed to supporting animal welfare. By partnering with RSPCA Victoria, Bright Brewery aims to raise awareness and funds for animals in need.

Join us in celebrating the power of rescue and the joy of good beer.
Grab a can or a pot of DoggoBrau 2024 from the Bright Brewery Brewpub, online and at all barking good independent liquor retailers and raise a glass to Kona and all the amazing rescue animals out there.

Bright Brewery is excited to announce Kona, a Maremma, as the winner of our Doggobrau photo competition.

Kona, adopted from Tiki Animal Rescue, will be featured on the can of Doggobrau Tropical XPA, set for release in November.

Kona’s heart-warming story stood out among the many fantastic entries we received.  Andrew Frith, Kona’s owner, shared a tale of the dog’s bravery: “A neighbour had just got a baby goat. Kona was sitting in the backyard and saw an eagle swoop the goat. Kona went crazy and the eagle went away. He saved that goat’s life. He loves barking at birds of prey like eagles and hawks. Never at any other bird. He also loves to just hang out with our chicken.”

Clint from Pocketbeagles Design Studio will immortalise Kona on the 440ml beer can, continuing Doggobrau’s tradition of showcasing rescue animals in support of RSPCA Victoria.

We received a total of 70 entries, making the decision a challenging one! We’re grateful to everyone who participated and shared their adorable rescue dogs with us.

For the past four years, Doggobrau has been dedicated to showcasing and supporting pets in need, partnering with RSPCA Victoria through our annual beer release. Doggo has become a beloved part of our beer lineup, bringing joy to both humans and animals.

Previous featured dogs include Eddy the greyhound, Newton the lurcher/collie-X, Kyari the cat, and Phoebe.

For the past four years, we’ve been showcasing and helping raise funds (and awareness) for pets in need, alongside our friends at RSPCA Victoria through our annual beer release, DoggoBrau Tropical XPA.

Doggo has become a beloved part of our beer lineup and it brings joy to so many people – and animals.

Our pups are by our sides for every step of the adventures we take – whether it’s floating down the river, hiking in the hills, running in the trees, or hitting the trails on our bikes. Adventure dogs, trail dogs, and faithful friends – we love them all.

Over the years, we’ve featured Eddy the greyhound, Newton the lurcher/collie-X, Kyari the cat (#cattobrau) and who could forget adorable little, bandana-wearing Phoebe?!

But this year – we need your help! We’re on the hunt for a cover star to be the face – and the tail – of this year’s DoggoBrau beer cans.

So if you have opened your heart – and home – to rescue or adopt a funny, furry, cute, cuddly, fluffy, floofy four-legged (dog) friend, we want to meet them!

Trot on over here to enter now.

The winning pooch will be immortalised in print (and beer) by our design guru Clint Weaver of Pocketbeagles, will feature on all DoggoBrau 2024 cans – and they’ll win a case of beer for their owner!

The only catch is – all doggos must be rescue or adopted pups to be eligible (#adoptdontshop)

Entries close September 11.
Bone appetite!
