O.H.S.O. says it’s “all about good beer, tasty food, our neighbors and their dogs, not necessarily in that order,” according to its website.

During these dog days of summer, O.H.S.O. is cautioning pet owners to ensure their furry friends are hydrated, shaded and protected from hot asphalt with booties or by carrying them in – and the brewer says they’ll send guests home with a doggie bag of treats when its too hot to dine with your pup at your side.
