Dog-friendly breweries? Yes, NJ has them. Here’s a list

Another thing people love about this time of year is pumpkin-flavored beer. We have plenty of great breweries to sample some terrific autumn flavors. But how do you leave man’s best friend home alone when the weather is so perfect and crisp?
Turns out, you don't have to!
We did some digging and found a number of breweries where you don’t have to. Doing an internet search of reviews and websites, we put together a short list of breweries in New Jersey that are said to be dog-friendly to one degree or another. It’s always a good idea to call ahead and check if this information is current.
Just some of the places you can bring your canine companion…
