Would anyone be able to tell me if the taproom is pet friendly? I am traveling through the area and I will have my dog with me. Thanks in advance for any info.
No, it is not. Entirely indoors at this point. They will eventually finish up an outside portion that might allow it.
I think they might have opened up that "backyard" portion. I have no clue if it's pet friendly, though.
Our back yard / patio area is open now for hanging-out and drinking beers. Leashed dogs are allowed in the grassy areas out back. Sadly, you'll have to go inside to get beers for now (this will change soon.)
Looks like the outdoor bar is opening this week: http://www.citizen-times.com/story/.../sierra-nevada-opens-outdoor-spaces/29464341/
