Reply to comment by cotecoyotegrrrl in How do we feel about dogs in coffee shops? by korkvid

What about breweries? They seem to be packed with dogs. Is there an exception somehow for places that make their beer on premises?

My understanding about how breweries get around this, and I could be wrong, is the ones that allow dogs do not prepare or serve food on the premises. Drinks yes, food no. Some have food trucks that serve food, but that's not on premises. Little bit of a legal loop hole.

The law just covers food prepared on premise one of the few loopholes in the law that actually benefit small breweries.

This is likely because the brewing process (pH level of the final product, boiling for 60 mins etc.) and the packaging process have steps that would mitigate any health issues caused by typical pet contamination. Food preparation, does not provide that same level of guarantee.

Whenever I see dogs at breweries they are outside in the patio section instead of inside.

I would 100% rather someone bring their dog to a brewery than their children

Well, in JP it's a law you have to adopt a dog from the MSPCA if you live there for more than two years.

That's a good law. They always have so many cute pups

Nah, no exception, but anecdotally, people that hang out in bars care less than people who hang out in coffee shopsm

I've seen dogs outside in brewery beer gardens, but not inside in tap-rooms - and definitely not in brew pubs that also have a food kitchen.
