Are dogs allowed at New Glarus brewery?

Answered by Christopher Steppe

As an expert sommelier and brewer, I can provide you with detailed information about the pet policy at New Glarus brewery. First and foremost, I want to emphasize that service dogs are allowed inside the brewery. We highly value the importance of accommodating individuals with disabilities, and we have made sure that our handicapped entrance and elevator, conveniently located under the clock tower on the north end of the brewery, are easily accessible for everyone.

When it comes to pets other than service dogs, we have a slightly different policy. While we understand that pets are often considered part of the family, we prioritize the comfort and safety of all our guests. Therefore, we welcome all other pets outside in our garden, as long as they are kept on a leash. This ensures that both pet owners and other visitors can enjoy their time at the brewery without any concerns or disturbances.

Allowing pets in our beer garden gives them the opportunity to experience the lively atmosphere that New Glarus brewery offers. Our beer garden is a beautiful outdoor space where people can relax, socialize, and enjoy our delicious craft beers. It provides a welcoming environment for pets to be a part of, as long as they are well-behaved and under control.

I want to emphasize that our pet policy is in place to ensure the enjoyment and comfort of all our guests. While we understand that some individuals may prefer to have their pets accompany them inside the brewery, we have made the decision to limit pet access to the beer garden in order to maintain a clean and safe environment for everyone.

As an avid animal lover myself, I can relate to the desire to have pets around at all times. However, I also understand the importance of balancing the needs and preferences of all our guests. By allowing pets in the beer garden on a leash, we strive to create a harmonious atmosphere where people can enjoy our exceptional beers while also respecting the comfort of others.

While dogs and other pets are not allowed inside the brewery at New Glarus, they are welcome outside in our beer garden as long as they are on a leash. This policy ensures that everyone can have an enjoyable experience at our brewery, whether they are accompanied by a service dog or simply enjoying the outdoor space with their leashed pet. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a welcoming and inclusive environment for all.
