Breweries Embrace Dogs: From Patios to Puppy Yoga
Across the U.S., breweries are embracing a new trend: welcoming dogs with open arms. From Asheville to Portland, many beer enthusiasts can now enjoy their favorite brews alongside their furry friends.
Asheville Brewing Company in North Carolina sets the scene with its spacious, dog-friendly patio, making it a local favorite for both beer lovers and pet owners. Similarly, Bluejacket in Washington, D.C., offers a refined brewery experience with a dog-friendly outdoor patio complete with water bowls and shade.
This trend is gaining momentum nationwide. Fetch Brewing Company in Michigan loves dogs so much that they allow leashed, well-behaved dogs inside and on the patio. Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar, a chain in the Western USA, takes it a step further with a dog menu and shaded outdoor patios. The Dog Bar in Florida is part bar, part off-leash dog park, serving local craft beers. Lagunitas Brewing Company in California treats dogs like VIPs in their large outdoor area. Big Dog's Brewing Company in Las Vegas hosts pet-related charity events, while Denver Beer Co. in Colorado regularly hosts dog-focused events like Rescue Puppy Yoga. Dogfish Head Craft Brewery in Delaware completes the list with its dog-friendly outdoor area, the Dogfish Head Tasting Garden.
Portland, Oregon, stands out as the city with the most dog-friendly breweries in the U.S. As the trend continues to grow, breweries are not just serving beer; they're creating community spaces where humans and their canine companions can enjoy a cold one together.
