    I know New Glarus is pretty dog friendly. Does Grumpy Troll, Karben4, or any other breweries between Madison and Milwaukee accommodate dogs, even if it is just a patio?

    Karben4 lets dogs on their outdoor patio.

    Wisconsin Brewing is dog friendly indoors and outdoors.

    There are usually 1 or 2 dogs at Tyranena every time I've been there.

    We were surprised last summer by just how few Madison area spots were dog friendly. Tyranena was indeed the dog friendliest, so long as guest dogs get along with the house dog, all is good. There were several dogs around on the patio (all sleeping under tables & chairs) the last time we were there and when one woman half-heartedly complained she was offered a growler to go.

    Ale Asylum wouldn't let them into the patio, but when we sat by the fence with the dogs in the grass under a tree on the other side of the fence the server brought us several bowls of water.

    Karben4 was nearly empty but said no inside or out. it was right at opening on a Sunday, the patio still had a brewfest tent from the day before so maybe that was it?

    New Glarus said absolutely not but when we asked if outside was ok, they said it was fine but they couldn't come in (we did see one woman with a "purse pup" walking around inside without challenge - we laughed that we'd need duffle bags to pull that off). There were several leashed dogs exploring the beautiful grounds there.

    Most of the "in-town" places (Vintage, Great Dane, etc) are just not set up for dogs and most patios are set up like Ale Asylum's: fenced off and accessible only from inside (not Tyranena or Karben4)

    Go have a beer at the Wisconsin Union terrace. They have a bunch of WI taps and it's the best place in the city to enjoy a nice day outdoors. Of course, I'm biased.

    Capital was dog friendly when I went there, it has been a few years though.
