Patio season is officially here! ☀️🍻

We love seeing the whole crew—kids and pups included—hanging out at the brewery. To make sure Heater Allen stays a safe, inclusive, and fun spot for everyone, we’ve got a few "House Rules" for the season:

🐾 DOGS: Keep ‘em leashed and under adult control. If they’re getting a bit too vocal or aggressive, it’s time to head home!

🧸 KIDS: No running in the taproom or by Brassi's, and ALWAYS supervised by an adult, please! And a big heads-up: keep the little ones away from the shipping container/fence gap—those metal edges are no joke.

🎯 FUN: We have games behind the bar for checkout! They are for everyone to enjoy, so please be respectful of the pieces, clean up when you're done, and return them to the bartender.

🤝 RESPECT: Whether you have a toddler or a terrier, let’s be mindful of our neighbors (especially those here for a quiet beer.)

Thanks for helping us keep the vibes just right. See you on the patio! 🍺✨

Congratulations to all the winners and talented brewers who took home medals—it’s an honor to be in such great company.
