History: Not the most pleasant of names we agree, but Dead Dog Vomit has a story behind it that will astonish and amaze. In the spring of 1976, Rolf, a rescue dog for the Boston fire department, bounded up the stairs of a burning three story building in the direction of the defining screams of a small child. When he approached the terrified young lad he tried to entice him down the smoke drenched spiral steps. But the kid was frozen with shock and Rolf knew there was only one solution. Using a last resort tactic that had been taught to all the fire department rescue K-9’s, Rolf quickly and unselfishly proceeded to swallow his own tongue, which in turn triggered an almighty bellow of barf from his gargantuan gaping mouth. The eruptive discharge soon coated the winding steps from top to bottom, allowing the young boy a slippery slope to safety. Rolf unfortunately did not make it. Later that evening in the firefighters favorite late night watering hole they celebrated the life of their brave comrade. Each one picked their favorite liquor and the bartender combined them together. Then in loving memory of Rolf the firefighters christened the shot “Dead Dog Vomit” and proceeded to give their brave buddy a 21 shot salute. RIP Rolf, your courage and heroism will live on forever in our hearts and livers.
