You don\u2019t have to be an animal lover to enjoy beer or vice versa. Yet there are clear crossovers between folks who love their beer and those who love animals<\/a> \u2014 who doesn\u2019t enjoy sipping a cold pint with their pup next to them, after all? \u2014 and breweries and beer bars around the country are picking up on that. Meet the latest breed of animal advocates and get the scoop (sans the litter box, of course) behind this growing trend.<\/p>\n

Creating a sanctuary of their own<\/h2>\n

If you don\u2019t get from Sanctuary Brewing Company<\/a>\u2019s name that they\u2019re on a mission for animals, you will the minute you step in. Pictures of the brewery\u2019s sanctuary animals \u2014 from Ollie the pig to Charlotte the chicken \u2014 hang everywhere, and the logo and tap handles feature a pig, dog and chicken. Just recently, the brewery also earned non-profit status for its own animal sanctuary, a dream of the two owners, one of whom is a brewer who laid down his brewing roots at Wicked Weed Brewing in Asheville, North Carolina.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to open a brewery to make really good beer, but also make enough money to open an animal sanctuary,\u201d says Lisa McDonald, co-owner of the Hendersonville, North Carolina-based brewery and avid animal rescue advocate. McDonald, along with her partner, Joe Dinan, figured it would be years before they could reach that dream. Yet in just a little over two years after opening the brewery in August 2015, they opened their sanctuary, which currently has 23 animals.<\/p>\n

The fact that they\u2019ve been able to do this so quickly speaks to their solid beer creations. \u201cJoe brews the beer that he wants to drink, which means we don\u2019t get pigeonholed into one thing,\u201d McDonald says. Their flagship \u2014 and one that if they ever stopped carrying, \u201cpeople would come to the brewery with torches and pitchforks,\u201d McDonald jokes \u2014 is the Hop Pig IPA, named after one of their most beloved farm animals, Ollie. Now 250 pounds, this pot-bellied pig used to be a regular guest at the brewery when he was a little. (Ollie, by the way, also inspired the name behind a double IPA called Ollie the Destroyer, largely because when Ollie gets his snout into some beer, which he loves, he turns into a lunatic.)<\/p>\n

Before the sanctuary, though, Sanctuary Brewing was advocating for animals in other ways. They earned fame for hosting a weekly yoga class with animals, usually featuring cats and bunnies. They also frequently partnered with animal rescue organizations to do things like host events at the brewery, donate a certain portion of the proceeds of sales of specific beers to organizations, and provide free beer to animal-oriented fundraising events.<\/p>\n

While they\u2019ve since stopped doing the yoga, largely because they now serve food at the brewery and animals are no longer allowed inside because of health code reasons (although guests can bring their dogs to the pup-friendly patio) and their farm animals can\u2019t patronize the brewery, they still work with a select handful of animal rescue organizations to support their mission. They also do special community pet events like food drives and free vet checks for pets. And they invite guests to tour their sanctuary for free, although donations are encouraged. \u201cIf you love beer and you\u2019re curious about our animals, we want to get you out there,\u201d McDonald says, adding that she\u2019s hoping to sell beer at the sanctuary soon.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s an even bigger way Sanctuary is advocating for animals: It\u2019s a vegan brewery (McDonald and Dinan are vegan), and while this is something they don\u2019t hit patrons over the head with, the mission is reflected in their menu, which serves only vegan fare. \u201cWe just want to provide a comfortable space where people can drink really good beer and eat really good food \u2014 oh, and by the way, you\u2019re helping animals,\u201d she says, , adding that non-vegan beer drinkers have been pleasantly surprised that this type of fare can be so delicious and dense. The brewery\u2019s compassionate nature extends, by the way, into other ventures, as it hosts a free dinner every Sunday (although it\u2019s donation-based, if you can afford it) and hosts a kindness wall, which has bags filled with essential items like toothpaste, deodorant and sunscreen, available for free for people in need.<\/p>\n

In the future, the dream is to open a location with at least 80 acres where they could place the brewery, animal sanctuary, yoga studio and more. Until then, Sanctuary will continue coming up with new ways to be animal advocates. \u201cWe\u2019re down with the wackier the idea, the better,\u201d McDonald says. \u201cWe want to do things that sound fun and maybe change people\u2019s hearts and minds about farm animals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doing good for animals with every pint<\/h2>\n

Whether you want to kick back on the patio or enjoy a pint inside, everybody\u2019s welcome \u2014 including four-legged friends \u2014 at Metazoa Brewing Company<\/a> in Indianapolis, where you\u2019re doing good the second you pay for a beer. The brewery donates 5 percent of its profits to 10 animal and wildlife organizations, something it\u2019s done religiously since its opening in April 2016.<\/p>\n

The brewery cuts checks to each of these organizations every quarter, sometimes sooner, if one of the organizations has a particular need. \u201cWe\u2019re so committed to that 5-percent promise that our owner has dug into his pockets at times to make it happen,\u201d says Lauren Frederick, Metazoa\u2019s director of sales and marketing.<\/p>\n

The brewery also holds numerous events for animal organizations every month in its taproom. For instance, it recently hosted a Mardi Cause Fast Hounds and Fast Horses event to raise money for retired racing greyhounds and horses. They also recently hosted a music festival titled Pints Against Poachers with four bands to help raise money for the African Wildlife Foundation\u2019s Canines for Conservation program.<\/p>\n

And any of its beers made with chocolate<\/a> \u2014 there were three on tap as of press time \u2014 use Endangered Species Chocolate, an Indianapolis-based chocolate company that donates 10 percent of its net profits to its nonprofit conservation partners. \u201cEndangered Species has taken us under their wing and agreed to be our exclusive chocolate partner,\u201d Frederick says.<\/p>\n

Why such a strong focus for a brewery whose name is the scientific term for the animal kingdom? Credit its owner Dave Worthington, whose two kids loved giving money to animal causes when they were growing up. When Worthington decided to open a brewery, he decided to combine two of the things that were most important to him and his family: beer and animals.<\/p>\n

Metazoa hopes to send $100,000 to its various animal and wildlife partner organizations in 2018, a mission that they\u2019ve helped by quadrupling their brewing capacity and increasing their distribution around the state of Indiana. They\u2019re also currently exploring the option of a second location.<\/p>\n

While the animal mission was a big driver for attracting customers during their initial start-up, Frederick believes the brewery now has a one-two punch that\u2019s making it so successful. \u201cOur beer is really good \u2014 we recently picked up some medals at the Great American Beer Festival, for instance \u2014 and people also feel really good when drinking our beer, which sets us apart from other breweries that, although they might have good beer, may not have a mission,\u201d she says. In the future, Frederick hopes Metazoa can host bus trips to some of their partner organizations so customers can see where their money is going.<\/p>\n

\"\"A spirited foster home for dogs<\/h2>\n

No doubt you\u2019ve heard of cat caf\u00e9s. But a taphouse for dogs?<\/p>\n

The idea is the brainchild of Scott Porter, who recently opened I Love Fido\u2019s<\/a> in Tigard, Oregon, which features 40 taps, including 30 for beers that regularly showcase independent breweries like Boneyard Brew Co<\/a> and Occidental Brewing<\/a>. Yet Porter didn\u2019t want to have just another beer bar. He wanted to set himself apart, and it was a visit with his son to a coffee shop that featured adoptable cats that sparked the idea.<\/p>\n

Porter had read several Yelp reviews in which the patrons were complaining that the cats didn\u2019t want to play with them. \u201cMy son commented that if they have dogs, this wouldn\u2019t be a problem,\u201d he says. \u201cIt came to me then that if I could get adoptable dogs in a tap room, I\u2019d open a bar,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Three years later in February 2018, I Love Fido\u2019s officially opened to the public. long with being a beer bar, it also serves as a corporate foster for adoptable dogs. Roughly four to six dogs live full-time (until they find their forever home) in a separate room that you enter from outside the taproom, where patrons are encouraged to visit them (and yes, you can place your beer outside a window, open the window and take a sip while you visit the dogs). There is a small fee \u2014 $4 per half hour for individuals 13 years and up and $2 per half hour for anybody 12 or younger, although minors do have to be accompanied by a parent \u2014 but the fees go toward all of the expenses Porter and his family have in serving as a foster family for these dogs. Since opening, 34 dogs have been adopted, and Porter hopes that number increases.<\/p>\n

The taproom also does special events with rescue organizations and will often put up a featured pint where a certain percentage of proceeds are donated to a rescue.<\/p>\n

Although Porter is working hard to earn a reputation as a great beer bar (with a dog-friendly patio), the dogs have been the big draw. \u201cPeople do care about dogs, and that\u2019s what has set us apart,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

At Hop River Brewing Company in Fort Wayne, Indiana, there\u2019s now a new addition to the activity menu: Making enrichment toys and other accessories for a local animal shelter.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

Crafting for animals<\/h2>\n

Holding special events for animals is another way breweries are putting their best paw forward, and at Hop River Brewing Company<\/a> in Fort Wayne, Indiana, there\u2019s now a new addition to the activity menu: Making enrichment toys and other accessories for a local animal shelter. On the third Thursday of every month, animal lovers gather to craft items for the shelter\u2019s animals out of common household items like paper towel rolls, cardboard and paper tissue.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of our foundations is community,\u201d says Mary Corinne Lowenstein, Hop River\u2019s director of marketing. \u201cBy partnering with other socially active organizations that are locally minded, we\u2019re able to connect with people who are interested in getting involved in the community while enjoying something to eat or having a pint of craft beer made onsite.\u201d<\/p>\n

Being at a brewery has helped attract more animal lovers. \u201cIt can be scary or intimidating to go to an animal shelter if you\u2019ve never been to one,\u201d says Holly Eggelston with Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control (ACC). When these events have been held at ACC\u2019s facility, turnout has been low, but at the brewery, numbers are up. \u201cAdding the fun, laid-back element of a brewery has been a better way to get people to volunteer their time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adopting an animal-driven business model<\/h2>\n

Feel like joining the pack? Know that anything you do for animals will be welcomed, not just by animal organizations you partner with, but also your animal-loving beer guests.<\/p>\n

First, if you\u2019re looking for partner organizations, Frederick suggests finding one that fits your passions. \u201cDo your research and know the reasons why you picked the organizations you want to support,\u201d she says, adding that the more obscure ones that often don\u2019t get much attention can be super cool.<\/p>\n

Also, make sure you\u2019re keeping your promise. Whether you\u2019re donating so much from each pint each month or cutting a portion of your proceeds to an organization, communicate with your customers. \u201cThat way, you\u2019ll make everybody feel good about supporting you,\u201d Frederick says.<\/p>\n

Another option? Consider hosting vegan events<\/a> like dinners and other fun occasions. \u201cPeople get upset when you\u2019re trying to save one animal, and you put another one on the plate,\u201d McDonald says. \u201cPlus, vegan events are big money makers and fun to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coming together for good is something the beer industry is famous for doing. Yet by adding animal lovers to the mix, that do-good mission has the potential to reach an even wider audience, namely the 84.6 million American households that share their home with a cat or dog or both. While it\u2019s a win-win for everybody involved, the real winner is the animals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
