A new beer made by Surrey鈥檚 Russell Brewing honours Mr. Bentley, an English bulldog who鈥檚 become a social-media star.

A drawing of the 鈥渕oonwalking, helicopter co-piloting, cucumber eating, internet sensation鈥 from Vancouver is featured on cans of Mr. Bentley鈥檚 Cucumber Sour.

鈥淗e partnered with Russell Brewing to create this refreshingly crisp Cucumber Sour. Partial proceeds from every pack go to Children鈥檚 Wish,鈥 says a post on the brewer鈥檚 website.

The charity works to grant wishes to Canadian kids diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses.

The quirky Mr. Bentley is afraid of essentially everything, according to his owner, Bradley Friesen.

The dog鈥檚 hangups include a fear of shiny floors, so he 鈥渕oonwalks鈥 backward on such surfaces.

Videos of such adventures have earned Mr. Bentley more than 327,000 followers on Instagram, close to 12,000 subscribers on Youtube and another 18,500 followers on Facebook.

One thing Mr. Bentley isn鈥檛 afraid of is riding shotgun in a helicopter piloted by Friesen.

Accordingly, a 鈥淔ly With Bentley鈥 contest has been posted to Russell Brewing鈥檚 website, for a flight for two with Sky Helicopters.
