Most breweries in LA are dog-friendly, but Benny Boy Brewing might be the most dog-friendly, so we’re highlighting them on this list. Their massive outdoor beer garden gives pups plenty of room, and they don’t stop there. Think “Race of the Bullies,” Mardi Gras puppy parades, and Oktoberfest weenie dog races. Here, bringing your dog isn’t just encouraged… sometimes they’re the star of the show.
