Pierce County health officials ban dogs from brewpubs

TACOMA, Wash. (AP) _ People who love beer and dogs may have to leave one of them at home when they visit Pierce County brewpubs.

The News Tribune reports (https://is.gd/uy0x9y ) county health officials are warning Tacoma brewers that it is against the health code to allow non-service animals in a bar or brewery where beer is served in reusable glassware, even on the patio.

Dogs are still allowed in bars with plastic cups that don't serve food.

Health officials say the enforcement actions at local brewpubs that serve food are the result of customer complaints.

They weren't actively surveying the community for dog-friendly restaurants.
