Bark & Brew – Trail Buddy Release Pawrty
Saturday, April 11 | 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM

Join us for a day celebrating dogs, great local beer, and an awesome community.
This special event celebrates the release of Trail Buddy Wheat Ale with Tangerine from Henniker Brewing Company in Henniker, New Hampshire. Every release of Trail Buddy features a dog on the can, and we’re throwing a pawrty to celebrate.

We’ll have a DJ leading the day with music, a dog pageant, and a raffle filled with awesome dog-themed prizes.
There will also be a whole lineup of dog-focused vendors including artists, photographers, handmade bandannas and leashes, homemade dog treats, and many other dog businesses like groomers, veterinarians, trainers, walkers, and more.

There will be two sessions to help with crowd control and parking:
12PM - 2:30PM
3PM - 5PM

Overflow parking will be available at Ayer & Goss and we’ll have a shuttle to get to and from there. (We also have onsite parking).

1:30PM - Best Dressed/ Costume Contest

The winner of each will be featured on the next batch of Trail Buddy Cans!
Sign up will be day-of

Each ticket includes
• One Beverage from Henniker Brewing Company
• A Pawskies Indoor Dog Park gift card for one free visit in Concord
There will be food trucks, desserts, games, vendors, music, and plenty of fun for people who love dogs and beer.
Tickets are being pre-sold. Some walk-in space may be available, but purchasing ahead guarantees entry.
Ticketed guests will be able to park right out front. A shuttle will also run for additional overflow parking.

Dogs at our events
Our events are dog friendly, but dogs are not required to attend. Guests are always welcome to come without a dog.

Dogs that attend should be healthy, up to date on shots, well behaved, and comfortable on leash in a busy public setting. Please keep respectful space from other dogs and people, ask before approaching, and clean up after your dog.

Water will be available, and we encourage guests to use their own bowl or a disposable one.
As with any place dogs gather, there is always a possibility of exposure to dog germs. Please consider your dog’s comfort and temperament before bringing them.

We can’t wait to celebrate great beer, great dogs, and a great community together. 🐾🍻
