Bringing your dog to Cult Classic Brewing

Cult Classic Brewing is a brewery and taproom on Kent Island in Stevensville, Maryland, just over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge from Annapolis on the Route 50 corridor. The taproom leans into a retro pop theme, and it has a reputation in public listings as a dog tolerant spot, which is why it is on the Sniff and Shift Adventure Map.

Dog tolerant is not the same as a posted dog policy. Rules at taprooms change with staffing, events and the season, so call or message the brewery before you drive over, and expect that any welcome applies to leashed, settled dogs. If there is an outdoor area, that is the safer bet with a dog on a busy night.

It makes a good stop on a shore run. Kent Island sits at the start of the Eastern Shore drive toward Ocean City and the Delaware beaches, so a taproom stop pairs well with a walk before or after. Bring a leash, a collapsible bowl and a few treats so the dog has something to do while you sit. Cheddar cheese bites break small, and a bag rides in a pocket without grease.
