Dogs and breweries just seem to go together.
In Cincinnati, there are lots of dog-friendly breweries, where you can enjoy a beer with your dog both inside and outside.
The list below was compiled to help you discover the city’s dog-friendly breweries. As a note, just about every brewery allows service dogs, as do most places of business.
