Good Robot Brewing Company

We're back and once again taking over Good Robot for the evening.

With the K9PAD dogs and puppies by our sides, we'll be hunkering down at Good Robot until they force us out. But really... will they? Cute dogs... amazing beer. I think we'll stay.

The K9PAD team are looking to gain your support for our newest Service Dogs in Training. These two dogs are being trained for clients with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a very rare condition. Never heard of it? Check them out here: Atlantic Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Society Some of our other dogs will be there too. We'll satisfy your puppy fever.

So why not come out, enjoy the amazing beer that Good Robot has to offer, play with some puppies, and support a great cause?

We've got a unique twist on the 50/50. Yes, we're incorporating our pups. Our team will also be accepting toys acceptable for Xlarge and Giant breeds (They love kongs, freeze-dried treats, dehydrated treats, and other durable toys). We might just have a few other things to satisfy your puppy cravings.

Ready for it? Here we come...
