The Experience, Alameda: Almanac Beer Co. Dogs

The Experience:

Puppies + Beer!

What could be better? Come find your perfect furry Valentine at the mobile canine adoption event the first weekend in February!

Sat, Feb 4 and Sun, Feb 5:  12 – 4pm.

Almanac Beer Co. invites everyone to come down to the taproom and beer garden to hang with their friends (2 legged and 4 legged) from Friends of Alameda Animal Shelter (FAAS).

As you have been hearing on the news, Bay Area shelters are at capacity. And these dogs need you. You can give the gift of ‘forever home’ and gain the love and companionship of your new furry friend.

Bring your friends and help Almanac help FAAS clear their shelter with this two-day adoption event. Dogs of all ages, puppies and most importantly (especially if you are only in the mood for a flirt): a doggy kissing booth!

Meanwhile kick back with a pint or two and enjoy tasty bites from Scolari’s Good Eats and other food tucks. And then…get yourself the best kind of Valentine.
