National Dog Day is Wednesday, Aug. 26, but Roaring Table Brewing Co. will extend its canine celebrations across the entire week, equivalent to one day in dog years. Roaring Table Brewing Co. invites the community to join the celebration and remembers to volunteer, foster, adopt and donate, with a tasty beverage in hand.

Event Schedule: 

• Tuesday, Aug. 25: Roaring Table will release Flock of Beagles, a New Zealand pale ale, in cans and on draft exclusively at the taproom. The special beer is designed to raise money for dog shelters and rescues, and a portion of proceeds from this year's batch will benefit Reach Rescue in Mundelein. Owners Beth and Lane have adopted two dogs from Reach Rescue over the years and wanted to support the organization's fundraising efforts for a new facility. That evening will feature a Paint and Sip event focused on bringing pets to life on canvas, guided by local artist Cliff Harman of Sip Parties.
   
• Wednesday, Aug. 26: Roaring Table will host a National Dog Day celebration at the taproom.
   
• Thursday, Aug. 27, and Friday, Aug. 28: Additional details are forthcoming, but the brewery will release its Pubtoberfest collaboration with Beer on the Wall on Thursday.
   
• Saturday, Aug. 29: Beagle Fest 2026 will bring an all-day celebration of dogs, inspired by a magical beagle. Flock of Beagles will be flowing, alongside a photo booth for dogs and their owners, live music, kids' activities, a special food menu and a dog adoption event. A portion of all Flock of Beagles sales will go toward helping Reach Rescue fund its new building.
