Here’s a solution to the dogs in breweries debate: Bring the breweries to a dog bar.
I get it, dog owners. You love your dog, you love Charlotte beer and now with health inspectors cracking down on dogs in taprooms you feel like you’re forced to choose between the two.
Au contraire.

This weekend Lucky Dog Bark & Brew will host its inaugural Winter Beer Fest, a celebration of local brew featuring 10 Charlotte-area breweries.
