Hi, I’m Palmer, the Patriotic Beer-Loving Frenchie!

You might think I’m just your average French bulldog, but let me tell you, I’m a certified connoisseur of treats and a self-proclaimed beer enthusiast. My humans like to think I’m the cutest Frenchie around, which is debatable—have you seen my neighbor’s Boston Terrier? But one thing’s for sure: I’m definitely one of the best-behaved pups in the game. Just ask the folks at my favorite breweries; they’ll tell you I’m basically a canine ambassador for good behavior (and good beer)!

When I’m not busy charming humans with my adorable face, I’m on a mission to help my mom raise money for the SHARE Military Initiative. That’s right, I’m not just a pretty face; I’m a philanthropic pooch! But let’s be real, my true passion lies in adventuring with my humans as we brewery hop across the Southeast U.S. I mean, who wouldn’t want to visit almost 100 breweries in a year? That’s like a dog’s version of a world tour!

We’ve met some incredible people, munched on some tasty treats, and sipped on some *ahem* questionable beer. Seriously, some of it tasted like it was brewed in a sock. But hey, we’re not here to talk about that—let’s focus on the good stuff!

Now, when it comes to rating a brewery from my vantage point of 12 inches above the ground, I’ve got a whole checklist. First up: water bowls. Are they clean? Is the water fresh? Because if I’m going to be a good dog, I need hydration, people! Next, let’s talk treats. Are they gourmet? Are they crunchy? Now I don’t have a tail but if I did, would the treats make my tail wag like a helicopter? These are the important questions!

And let’s not forget about the humans! I’m not just judging the beer; I’m sizing up the staff and the patrons. Are they friendly? Do they give belly rubs? How’s the overall vibe? I want my humans to enjoy their brews, but let’s be honest—if the atmosphere is off, it’s like serving a five-star meal on a paper plate.

So, as you embark on your own brewery adventures, remember to keep an eye out for the essentials: good beer, great treats, and humans who know how to scratch behind the ears. And when you visit one of my favorite spots, don’t forget to tell them Palmer sent you! I promise they’ll roll out the red carpet—or at least a nice patch of grass for me to lounge on.

Cheers to good times, great brews, and the best treats! 🐾🍻
