New Glory Craft Brewery has been brewing in Sacramento since June 2013, and it’s one of the few spots in the area where you can bring your dog and actually feel welcome doing it. The outdoor patio is where you’ll spend most of your time if the weather’s decent—it’s a straightforward setup without pretense, just picnic tables and beer. The craft beer selection rotates, so there’s usually something new to try alongside the regulars.

The taproom itself feels different depending on when you visit. Winter brings that cozy, warm interior feel where everyone clusters inside, while summer transforms it into more of a pass-through space since people gravitate outside. The patio stays usable in shoulder seasons, which is helpful if you’re coming in spring or fall with your dog.

What makes this place genuinely dog-friendly is that staff actually acknowledge your dog is there—they’re not just tolerating it. Water bowls appear without asking, and other dog owners often chat while their dogs sniff each other out. It’s a casual atmosphere, not the kind of place where you feel like you’re carefully managing your dog’s behavior every second.

The brewery is open seven days a week, so you’re not stuck with limited hours if you want a weekend visit or a random weekday afternoon. The location puts you near some of Sacramento’s mid-town spots, so you could combine a brewery visit with a walk through nearby neighborhoods. The website has current beer info if you want to check what’s on tap before heading over, though honestly the experience is pretty low-key either way—come for a beer, bring your dog, stay as long as feels right.
