Unleashed Hounds & Hops, "an indoor-outdoor dog park within a beer bar" will open this winter in Minneapolis this winter, reports Sharyn Jackson.

Unleashed will cover 10,000 square feet, including space for "a leash-only bar, an off-leash area, and an outdoor bar and a playspace with a water feature."

"Because a number of local breweries have been amenable to dog-loving drinkers, Unleashed will honor the connection between beer and bow-wows by featuring microbrews," according to Jackson. That includes dog beer, a "pup-safe, effervescent drink."
