Fieldwork Brewing Company‘s Corte Madera Taproom sits right in the Corte Madera Town Center, making it an easy stop whether you’re running errands nearby or heading out for the afternoon. The tap list rotates regularly with fresh releases, so there’s always something new to try—you can order a sampler flight to taste several at once, or just get a glass of whatever catches your eye. If you find something you really like, you can take it home in 16 oz cans, growlers, or 32 oz Crowlers, which is great if you want to remember what you had.

The outdoor seating area is where things get good for anyone coming with their dog. It’s a genuine dog-friendly space where your dog can hang out while you’re working through a beer. The vibe is casual and relaxed, the kind of place where people actually seem happy to have dogs around rather than tolerating them. You’ll see a mix of folks—people stopping by after work, groups of friends, families with kids and dogs in tow. The outdoor setup means you’re not confined to a tiny corner either; there’s actual room to settle in.

The location in Town Center is convenient if you’re combining this with other Marin activities. You’re close enough to various shops and restaurants that you could make an afternoon of it. Bring water for your dog since you’ll be sitting outside, and if you’re going on a weekend, it can get busy. The beer selection moves fast since they’re always rotating, so if you see something interesting on the tap list, don’t wait around too long.
