Brews, Blues and Biscuits

Two Local Businesses Team Up  to Create Unique New Treat for Dogs

Avon, CT. ---  Two local small businesses announce the upcoming launch of a new product that combines their ingredients in a unique way for dogs and those who love them. 

Brownstone Bakery for Dogs of Avon, with support from Thomas Hooker Brewery of Bloomfield, will soon be launching Brownstone Brewhouse Biscuits - tasty treats for dogs made from the grains remaining from brewing beer. Transforming the Brewery grains at Brownstone Bakery for Dogs is baker Bill Stajos. The result is an all-natural treat made in flavors that dogs crave and match well with beer - Sweet Hickory Chicken, Cheeseburger, Pizza, and, of course, Peanuts. 

The heads of the two local businesses, Curt Cameron of Thomas Hooker Brewery, and Roger Howard, owner of Brownstone Bakery, have combined their love of dogs and their ingredients to create healthy and appealing treats. 

The new Brownstone Brewhouse Biscuits will go on sale at the official product launch at Brownstone Bakery for Dogs, on Saturday, September 29th, from 2:00 - 6:00 p.m. The public - with or without their four-legged friends - is invited to the bakery for an indoor-outdoor event of “Brews, Blues, and Biscuits.”  

Admission is $10 for freebies, food and fun. Blues music will be provided by DJ Mike Stacy from Lite 100.5 WRCH radio. Proceeds from the event will be donated to Our Companions Animal Rescue of Bloomfield, a Connecticut organization that promises to “always do the right thing for animals, regardless of the challenge or cost.” This fall, Our Companions will be opening their new animal sanctuary in Ashford. 

The Sept. 29th launch event also marks Brownstone Bakery’s fourteen dog-years in Avon (two years if you are a human). Prior to opening Brownstone Bakery in Avon, Mr. Howard operated a dog bakery in West Hartford Center for twelve years.

Said Stephanie Bunnell, manager of Brownstone Bakery, “We can’t wait to have these biscuits available - showcasing what can happen when two local businesses 

combine their talents to make a new and unique product. We know many people love both dogs and beer, and our motto for these new biscuits is “Share the Love.”
