Whether you’re a dog-loving brewmaster or a weekend beer enthusiast, the importance of a great pet-friendly brewery cannot be underestimated. But a brewery that welcomes you and your pup to spend the night? That’s the holy growler right there! These brewery hotels around the world invite you to check in and have a true beer-centric experience with your four-legged drinking buddy.

BrewDog's DogHouse Columbus is the “hoppiest place on earth.” The rooms are located right next to the brewery and DogTap taproom, which means guests wake up every morning to the aroma of barley and hops. The fridges are stocked with BrewDog beers, and breakfast is served downstairs with beer pairings (it’s 5 o'clock somewhere, right?). Pet-friendly rooms have access to a semi-private patio space that’s perfect for late-night bathroom breaks. The foam on top of the beer is the on-campus dog park, a fenced-in play area with agility equipment and an open grassy space for fetch. If you inform the hotel in advance, they’ll even help arrange a "pawty" for your pup's special day.

Two dogs of any size are accepted at BrewDog’s DogHouse Hotel and Brewery Columbus for no extra fee.

Sometimes the name says it all, as in the case of Dogfish Inn located right on the canal in the heart of downtown Lewes, DE. If Fido loves adventure, he won’t be let down by the abundance of nearby activities. Plan on spending some time at Cape Henlopen State Park where he can hike, swim or relax on the beach. After a day of seaside fun, head back to the Inn to grab your complimentary growler and go to Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats in Rehoboth Beach to get it filled for later. While you’re there, grab dinner and a pint on their dog-friendly courtyard patio. Dogfish Head Craft Brewery is also just 11 miles down the road in Milton. Stop in for a drink in the outdoor seating area and swing by the gift shop to purchase Dogfish treats, toys and leashes.

One large dog or two small dogs are welcome to stay in select rooms for an additional fee of $75 per stay.

Fitger’s Inn is the ideal gathering place for dog lovers who adore hoppy beverages. After all, good beer is what made this place. Formerly the site of Fitger's Brewery (listed on the National Register of Historic Places), beer has been brewed here in some form since 1885. Nowadays, the bulk of the brewery building is taken up by the hotel, but Fitger's Brewhouse Brewery and Grille keeps the tradition alive. The facility produces over 1,100 barrels of delicious ales and lagers each year that you can sample with your pooch on the pet-friendly, seasonal patio. As well as a brewery, this historic lakefront hotel is home to a spa, mall and many restaurants. Your furry fashionista can shop ‘til she drops at most retailers, including A Place for Fido. After browsing the mall, head out for a walk along the shores of Lake Superior on Duluth’s Lakewalk.

Fitger's Inn welcomes dogs of any size for no additional fee.

The town of Bend is as dog friendly as they come, and the McMenamins Old St. Francis School in downtown is no different.

Mark off having a pint with your pup after your stay at the Old St. Francis School.

McMenamins Old St. Francis School accepts pets of any size for an additional fee of $25 per pet, per night. If you can't make it to Bend, McMenamins has several other dog-friendly hotels in the area, many of which have pubs or breweries attached.

Belgium and beer are as synonymous as, well, Belgium and chocolate. The country’s hoppy history is celebrated at Hotel Brouwerij Het Anker, a brewery, distillery, brasserie and hotel all rolled into one. The family-owned brewery has been making beer for five generations in the Groot Begijnhof historic quarter of Mechelen. The flagship beer, Gouden Carolus, may have grown in popularity over the years, but the technique and ingredients have stayed true to the traditions of yesteryear. In 1990, Het Anker opened a hotel within the walls of the brewery, a new concept in Belgium. Dogs are welcome in the hotel and can even join you at the bar, but, they’ll have to relax in the room when you dine at the restaurant.

Het Anker allows dogs of any size for an additional fee of 10 euros per night.

One of the taproom's best-selling beers will surely prove to be Fido’s favorite—The 4000 Footer IPA. This hoppy beverage proudly boasts a Bernese Mountain Dog on the label! Don’t forget to stop by the inn’s store to pick up a bag of dog treats made with spent grains from the beer.

Norwich Inn started life as a stagecoach tavern where travelers to New England could rest their weary legs, including President James Monroe in 1817. Back then, there were no commercial breweries in The Green Mountain State, which meant small-batch brews were the norm. The tradition continues here to this day at Jasper Murdock’s Alehouse at the Norwich Inn. Grab a fresh pour from one of the six taps and head to the pet-friendly beer garden to enjoy fantastic flavors in beautiful surroundings. Afterward, head back to Fido’s deluxe king room so he can enjoy the rest of his presidential stay in style.

Two pets of any size are welcome for an additional fee of $60 per night.

Check in to your pet-friendly courtyard room and take a stroll around the manicured grounds. It won’t be long until you sniff out Turkey Hill Brewing Company, a brewpub situated in a former barn house that offers a bounty of bold flavors on tap. Sample one of the draft beers on the outdoor patio with some pub fare, or reserve an outdoor table together at the fine dining restaurant also located on the property, The Farmhouse at Turkey Hill. While in the area, don’t forget to visit Knoebels Amusement Park and ride an antique automobile or hop on the historic carousel with your best friend.
