We brew our beer and cider in small batches (45 and 90 gallons at a time), in time with the seasons. Our ingredients are sourced as locally as possible, with much of our produce coming from the organic farm on which we brew: PlowGirl Farm.

Saving lives, one beer at a time. 

A simple motto and a simple mission. Dingo Dog Brewing Company uses its sales as a force for good. By funding charitable grants to local groups, we work to strengthen our community and enrich the lives of people and animals alike.

Our Story: 

Tim Schwarzauer grew up in Jackson, MS. In August of 2005, Hurricane Katrina made landfall on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, wreaking untold havoc, property damage and death. Tim and his family became actively involved in helping national animal rescue groups bring strays and abandoned pets from the worst hit areas to a temporary shelter at the state fairgrounds, in Jackson. Many of the pets were reunited with their families. Many more were not. 

The national groups eventually moved on. Volunteers went home, or moved to the next need. Tim's family founded the Animal Rescue Fund of MS, a non-profit, "no-kill" animal sanctuary. What began as a Katrina-related rescue has since grown into one of the largest "no-kill" sanctuaries in Mississippi. 

After college, Tim moved to North Carolina and fell head over heels in love with the state and its craft beer scene. He and Billy Gagon began brewing together, and after a successful brewing competition and a lot of encouragement from friends and families, they decided to combine their passion for good beer and animal rescue. Thus, Dingo Dog Brewing was born.

Dingo (~1999-2019) was the founder of Dingo Dog Brewing Company and brewer-emeritus.

He inspired many people - including us to open Dingo Dog Brewing for the sole purpose of providing for rescue animals, and he will be missed by all. While there is an emptiness in our hearts that will never be filled, we take comfort in his long, happy, and often times absurd life, and the fact that his memory will live on through our work at the brewery and the lives that, with your support, we will help save.

Tim Schwarzauer is Suzie's live-in butler. He enjoys long walks on the beach,  and hates fantasy football (mostly because it hates him.)

Erik Myers is the Head Brewer. Erik has been making beer out of questionable ingredients for over a decade and it doesn't seem like he's going to stop anytime soon. He has been proudly kept by several dogs and dozens of cats and he is proud to work for their welfare.

Amanda Lee Scherle is the Taproom Manager/Events Coordinator and Trivia Master. She, with the help of her small but mighty Rat Terrier/Princess mix, Scarlett, keeps the beer and cider flowing into your glasses, and pups entertained with art, music, and events. She spends her days asking the hard questions, and her weekends brewing crazy beers like porters, ESBs, and brown ales. 

Mosaic is our Assistant to the Brewer. He loves napping with the squirrels, eating stinky fish, and long strolls in the fields around the barn in the wee hours of the morning.

Remember to protect your canine companions from overheating! Thank you to Lucy Brannon for this very important PSA.
