Device Brewing Company is a Sacramento-based craft brewery that has been serving up award-winning beers since 2013. With three locations across the city—14th Ave (the original brewery and taproom), Ice Blocks Midtown, and Pocket/Greenhaven—Device offers a welcoming atmosphere for beer enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. Each location features a rotating selection of West Coast-style ales, seasonal brews, and fan favorites like their Salted Caramel Porter.

The original 14th Ave location has the full brewery experience, where you can watch the operation while settling in with a pint. Ice Blocks Midtown gives you a more compact urban taproom vibe if you’re downtown and want to grab something quick. The Pocket/Greenhaven spot is the most family-oriented of the three, with a full food menu including weekend brunch and dining options that work well for groups.

Dogs are welcome on the patios at all three locations, as long as they stay leashed. The setup at each spot varies a bit—the 14th Ave brewery has outdoor space where you and your dog can relax while you sample beers, and the other locations also have patio areas suitable for dogs. It’s worth noting that the Pocket/Greenhaven location’s food menu makes it especially easy to settle in for a longer afternoon or evening with your dog, since you’re not limited to just drinks.

The team at Device keeps things casual and approachable, so you don’t need to be a beer expert to enjoy yourself. Bring your dog, grab a seat outside, and work your way through whatever’s on tap that day. Their seasonal offerings rotate often enough that repeat visits make sense, especially if you have a favorite dog-friendly spot in Sacramento you’re looking to add to your regular rotation.
