Directions

kissing booth 1

The Pooches and Smooches party is a great way to have a fun, relaxed time while enjoying the company of good friends, new friends, and your best four-legged friends. Lots of fun events such as the 50/50 raffle, Kissing Booth photo opportunity, a silent auction, and GRREAT merchandise guarantees a good time will be had by all.

The event will be in the brewery’s Bear Cave, a private space that features a 7-tap bar and offers a heated tent and indoor space. Picnic tables and pub tables and a lounge area. To access the Bear Cave, enter through the Taproom and continue out the door, down the stone steps. Bear Cave ahead.

The property is very dog friendly. All dogs must be leashed. Pet waste receptacles are present on the grounds.

BEVERAGES: Each registration includes a beverage ticket. Subsequent beverages will be purchased by the attendee.
We will have a dedicated bartender for the event. The wide selection of beers on tap make up most of Bear the brewery’s drink menu. They also offer their very own craft-brewed hard seltzers, plus a variety wines and ciders! For non-alcoholic beverages, Bear Chase offers full range of options including bottled water, chocolate milk, slushies, juice boxes, sodas, Gatorades and Arnold Palmers (lemonade/iced tea).

FOOD: Desserts will be provided by GRREAT at the event. Prefer a snack or meal? Bear Chase offers multiple offerings. Bear Chase will have food trucks on site to serve pizzas and pretzels, A.T. Eats, Grill on the Hill, and hotdogs from their onsite Cubby Shack. All these options can be ordered and purchased in the Taproom and then delivered to the Bear Cave. You are welcome to arrive at Bear Chase before the GRREAT event and purchase lunch to dine in the Taproom.
