FREE Beer & Bites @ Dog & Owner Lookalike Contest Hosted by Dogfish Head

About this event

Brewery teams up with Outkast’s Big Boi to crown NYC’s most matching human-and-hound duo. FREE to enter or attend! This National Dog Day, Dogfish Head welcomes New Yorkers and their four-legged best friends to prove their resemblance at its inaugural Dog & Owner Lookalike Contest. Created to celebrate the wonderfully weird bond between people and their pups, this free event is open to dogs of every breed, size and personality (ok … their humans can come too). In addition to the evening’s main affair, the official Dog & Owner Lookalike Contest determined by an esteemed panel of celebrity judges, the event will feature a myriad of photo opportunities, giveaways, dog-friendly experiences and for guests 21+, refreshing pours from Dogfish Head’s portfolio of craft beers and ready-to-drink cocktails. THE CONTEST – HOW IT WORKS: Whether it’s matching curls, coordinated wardrobes, identical expressions or simply the same lovable energy, this is every dog and owner’s chance to compete for the title of New York City’s most perfectly paralleled pair. Contestants will strut their stuff before a panel of celebrity judges who will evaluate entries based on resemblance and overall showmanship. Contest judges include: Antwan Andre Patton a.k.a. Big Boi: Best known as half of the iconic hip-hop duo, Outkast, Big Boi is also an animal lover and advocate for ostracized dog breeds. @littlebearlumi: New York’s most beloved “pup-fluencer,” Lumi enjoys riding on the subway and skiing in his signature backpack as well as adventures in the city with his cat sister, Piper. Sam Calagione: First and foremost the Brewer & Founder of Dogfish Head, Sam is also a proud dog-dad to Moxie and Maple, two mischievous chocolate labs.
