National Dog Day is Wednesday August 26th, but we’re so into dogs our canine celebrations will last the entire week (which is one day in dog years, natch)!
We’ll be needing, as they say, more cowbell!
Here’s the rundown:
Tuesday 8.25: We release Flock Of Beagles, a New Zealand Pale Ale, in cans and on draught exclusively at the taproom. This is a special beer designed to raise money for dog shelters and rescues - and a portion of the proceeds from this year’s batch will go to our friends at Reach Rescue in Mundelein. Beth and Lane have adopted two dogs from Reach over the years, and now they’re raising funds for a new facility. We figured it was perfect timing!
That evening will feature a Paint &amp; Sip event focused on bringing your favorite Fido to life on canvas, guided by local artist Cliff Harman of Sip Parties.
Wednesday 8.26: National Dog Day celebration at the taproom!
Thursday 8.27 &amp; Friday 8.28 More to come, but we’re also releasing the Pubtoberfest collaboration with Beer on the Wall on Thursday!
Saturday 8.29 Beagle Fest 2026! An all-day celebration of dogs, dogs, and more dogs, inspired by a magical beagle! Flock Of Beagles will be flowing, and we’ll have a photo booth for dogs and their people, live music, activities for kids, a special food menu, and a dog adoption event. A portion of all Flock Of Beagles sales will go to help Reach Rescue fund their new building!
We hope you can join us during this special week at Roaring Table. We love all dogs, but for us, beagles always lead the way to happiness and forever homes. Just remember - Volunteer! Foster! Adopt! Donate! - and do it all with tasty beverage in your hand!
