Mark your calendars for Maine’s only dog friendly beer festival, Ales for Tails!  Hosted by the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland, the fun takes place on Saturday, September 30, 2017 from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Thompson’s Point (1 Thompson Point Road, Portland, ME), and features locally-brewed beers, food truck delicacies, music, and activities for dogs.  For the humans there will be over a dozen local brewers participating, and Starbucks will be whipping up foamy puppachinos for the four-legged attendees.  There will also be pet related local vendors and businesses.

Admission is $30 per person, and includes tasting tickets for brewer booths.  Well behaved dogs are welcome to attend at no additional cost.  There is however an additional parking fee of $5 per car to park at Thompson’s Point.  PLEASE NOTE: the 2016 Ales for Tails sold out in advance.  Pre-purchasing your ticket is strongly encouraged, so you don’t miss any tail wagging fun at this rain or shine event.  For the complete list of brewers who will be participating, and to purchase your tickets, please visit the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland Ales for Tails.  Proceeds from Ales for Tails will directly support the 4,000+ homeless and displaced animals the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland cares for every year.
