Dog Appreciation Day

Overview

Cute pooches and craft pints, both for a worthy cause — what better way to way to farewell that final weekend of winter? If it sounds like your kind of jam, you'll definitely want to get involved with Dog Appreciation Day at Rocks Brewing Company, this Sunday, August 26.

A celebration of our four-legged mates and all they do for us, the event is out to raise awareness and much-needed funds for dog adoption, as well as support for local pet-focused charity Project Hope.

Bring along your own pup to strut their stuff in the day's dog show, treat them to a pamper sesh at the grooming station and catch some live tunes together from 1pm. Then, you can hit the doggy rescue stand to learn all about pet adoption, and snap a few adorable pics at the Southern Cross Vet "kissing booth" for the chance to some pet-worthy prizes.

Of course, at this venue, beer is a given — while the pooches are chowing down on homemade Bark Snacks made from spent brewing grain, humans can kick back with a few of the day's Karma Keg pints, pouring profits for Doggie Rescue.
