Kick off each month with a fun, educational dog training session led by professional trainer Reil Becker, held typically on the first Sunday of every month at 10:30 AM—before the brewery opens for the day. Each one-hour session (weather permitting) focuses on sustainable, practical, pressure-free training methods to help strengthen communication and the bond between you and your dog. Whether you’re bringing your own pup or helping a rescue dog gain confidence and socialization, everyone is welcome. No judgment—just growth.
