Breweries · Dorchester
A brewery that runs an official dog programme, DOG-chester. Dogs are welcome on two outdoor levels — the ground-floor patio and the roof deck — with tents up in drizzle. Water, snacks and a dog beer are always available.
The dog policy is published by the brewery itself rather than left to directory listings, and the roof deck means you are not squeezed onto a pavement.
Outdoors only, and the dog programme runs from 1 April to 15 December. Dogs must be leashed and in direct control, never tied to furniture. The taproom is 21+ after 6pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
