Do you like beer? Raising money for veterans? What about dogs in costumes? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions then head on down to the Smuttynose Brewing Company for Operation: Costume Dogs. It is a spirited doggy costume contest and beer release in collaboration with the Black Ale Project and supporting the amazing work of Operation Delta Dog. There will be prizes and treats for you and your pups plus the release of Smuttlabs Battle Grounds Coffee Porter, a deep and robust new beer in collaboration with Battle Grounds Coffee Company.

The fun takes place this Saturday, November 2, 2019 from 12 Noon to 3:00 PM at the Smuttynose Brewing Company Restaurant (105 Towle Farm Rd., Hampton, NH). In addition to great beer and treats, there will be pet related vendors at this dog friendly event.

Founded in 2006 by former SEAL Salvatore DeFranco and his wife Dana, Massachusetts-based Battle Grounds Coffee Company offers only the best coffee and related products, all rooted in an unshakable foundation of customer service. Their Battle Grounds Coffee Porter employs Dark Ops coffee beans – the company’s darkest roast level – giving the beer a rich mouthfeel with subtle notes of fruit and chocolate. The result is a flavor that’s high impact and no apologies.

Proceeds to benefit Operation Delta Dog which is a New England-based nonprofit organization with a steadfast mission to rehabilitate shelter dogs and train them with the specific purpose of working as service dogs for disabled veterans. In that same mold, the Black Ale Project is a prolific craft beer initiative that raises money and awareness on behalf of U.S. war veterans.
