Jailbreak Brewing

So this was my first time attending Jailbreak Brewing’s Ales and Tails event at their brewery in Jessup.  For us dogs, until it gets warm outside, its very tough to find a place for us to enjoy a dinner out with our humans.  Jailbreak is not a restaurant, but a taproom, for you to sample their craft beers.  At night, a food truck is outside so you can get dinner outside, bring it inside, and have a beer in the taproom.  Once a month, the taproom is open to dogs.  As soon as I arrived, I was greeted by five noses in a row.  Now I’m a little guy, so it was kinda scary, but the smell of the food kept me interested.  Last night’s food truck offering was grilled pizza.  I must say, the grilled pizza was terrific.  It is a bit pricey but, the pizza is hot, fresh, and tasted great.  Since I’m under 21, I wasn’t able to have any of the beers, but my human sampled Jailbreak’s Amber Ale and American Stout.  He said both were outstanding.  The best part of Ales and Tails is that it raised money for Operation Paws for Homes, a great rescue group for dogs in need, who brought some of their adoptable dogs.  So if anyone is looking for a new friend, you might check out next month’s Ales and Tails. 

     Overall, despite being very crowded (it was Friday night), Jailbreak is a great local spot for food and beer.  They deserve tons of credit for providing an opportunity for dogs and their people to come in from the cold, and have dinner and drinks.  I will certainly be back next month.  In the meantime, my schedule is packed tight.  Next week is Yappy Hour at the Wine Bin in Ellicott City, followed by Mutt Monday with the Bowie Baysox, and the annual March for the Animals in Druid Hill Park.  Stay tunes for more reviews.
