The beer just has to be unfiltered and unpasturized, as you want all the goodness from the yeast
As for the alcohol
“horses have large amounts of alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme in their livers to process the by-products of microbial fermentation and therefore are surprisingly capable of metabolizing the alcohol present in beer. Additionally, their large body size means that they’d have to drink substantial amounts of beer before any risk of intoxication.”
Upon a quick google search…regular Guinness IS filtered and pasteurized. I assume the 0 is the same.
Most beer in a bottle or can has been pasteurized except Coors beer. They don’t for some reason. Kegs are generally not pasteurized.
Filtered beer is clean beer. To get unfiltered beer you would need any ale or hazy IPA. A Hefeweizen or many Belgian types are generally not filtered. Stella is not filtered and certain breweries choose not to filter so check labels.
I’ve toured more breweries than I care to count.
When I was having sweating issues with my pony I had the most success with acupuncture and B12 shots. He’s back to sweating fine since we moved farther north.
Man I miss Belgian beers. I have some degree of alcohol allergy/intolerance and just can’t risk a sip anymore. I got to visit Brouwerij De Halve Maan and have Bruges Zot there. As well as a few Westvleteren 12’s from bottle shops. Christmas time I really miss the Saint Bernardus 
.
Charlie and I split a Guinness Zero tonight though and he’s a good drinking buddy…I think he would need to be one that the bartender would have to cut off though. He LOVED it! He hasn’t met much of anything consumable he didn’t like other than bananas…but he was all about the Guinness.
Sounds just like my gelding, lol.
Using a mister was mentioned previously. I just want to share a potential problem for those whose water is supplied by a well.
The misters I am familiar with use a small flow of water, under a gallon per minute. So the entire time the mister is being used, the well pump cycles on-off-on-off-on-off… The frequency depends upon the size of your pressure tank. Where I live cycle stop valves are routinely installed on wells, along with very small pressure tanks, and they require around a one gallon per minute flow to stop the pump from short cycling.
Short cycling can result in premature pump failure. It can also result in premature pressure switch failure. I just learned about all this from my well guy this weekend. In my case the short cycling was because of a low-flow drip irrigation system, but a mister could cause the same problem. Luckily I just needed a new controller box this time.
If you’re on city water, you are golden. But if you have a well and use a mister keep an ear out for your well pump cycling.
