Escape Craft Brewery in Redlands is a solid spot if you want to grab a beer and bring your dog along. The brewery focuses on small-batch brewing using fresh local ingredients, and the rotating lineup of beers reflects that attention to detail. You’ll find everything from lighter, session-style brews to more complex IPAs and seasonal offerings.

The real draw here is the outdoor seating area where dogs are genuinely welcome. Unlike some places that grudgingly allow dogs, Escape Craft Brewery actually seems set up for it — there’s space where you and your dog can settle in without feeling like you’re in anyone’s way. The vibe is casual and laid-back, the kind of place where people aren’t precious about their dogs hanging out nearby.

Redlands itself has a nice downtown area with some walkability, so you could easily grab a beer here and then stroll around the neighborhood with your dog. The brewery is accessible enough that it’s worth a trip if you’re in the San Bernardino County area, whether you’re a serious beer person or just looking for somewhere dog-friendly to spend an afternoon. The staff seems genuinely friendly without being overly chatty if that’s not your thing.

If you’re heading out with your dog, check their hours before you go since brewery schedules can be unpredictable. Bring some water for your dog since you’ll be sitting outside, and if it’s warm, make sure there’s shade where you’re sitting — the outdoor setup is nice, but desert sun can be intense in Redlands. The beer selection rotates regularly, so there’s a decent chance of finding something new if you become a regular.
