    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    Puppies are irresistible. We fall in love with their big eyes, little button noses, fluffy tails, and clumsy paws. And yet, like any pet, puppies grow up and turn into dogs. Some breeds, like the Old English Sheepdog or Great Dane, will grow to become larger in size than most people. But not all dogs are destined to become giants. There are some breeds that stay small in size even when they're fully grown. You may want a forever puppy if you are used to smaller animals. Maybe you have a small apartment or just want a canine companion that you can easily carry along with you anywhere you go. Small dogs are also great for families with young children or those of senior age who are best matched with a breed they can physically handle. Fortunately, some specialty dog breeds are mixed to look like puppies throughout their entire lives—and they are sure to melt your heart the second you lay your eyes on them.

Nearly every city in the United States is bursting at the seams with a growing craft beer scene. Now you can practice yoga at a brewery (right next to the tanks!), partake in food-truck fare, learn how to make beer on a tour, or feel like you're in a beer garden in Germany. Brewery taprooms boast a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces, and are great spots for meeting friends or kicking back after a long day.

From a beer farm in Southern Illinois that forages for infused ingredients on its property and rims a national forest to a brewery-to-table taproom or restaurant in Maui where beers are inspired by locally grown tropical fruits, here are brewery taprooms to visit across the country.

Scratch Brewing in Ava, Ill.

Five miles from the Shawnee National Forest, this farmhouse brewery incorporates foraged ingredients found on its property (for example, sassafras leaves and wild cherry bark) into its beers. Their brews were inspired by the owners' (2020 James Beard Award-nominated Aaron Kleidon and Marika Josephson) The Homebrewers Almanac and are paired with pizzas baked in a wood-fired brick oven.

Literally across the state from Lake Michigan, this brewery's beer garden—pouring pints that are nods to locals, like The Polka King Porter, named after late polka act Freddie K.—is a welcome haven each summer and fall for hikers and kayakers. The spot regularly hosts live music acts and serves up barbecue via DCBC Eats.

This creative reuse of a church within a former funeral parlor earned Brewery Vivant LEED Silver certification (the country's first for a brewery) and is where Belgian- and French-style beers are brewed and tapped—fitting, as "bon vivant" means, in French, "the good life."

This 1960s fire station turned brewery in Denver's Park Hill neighborhood draws locals for its dog-friendly patio and indoor seating—not to mention beers (from the fruit-infused Tangerine Cream to a traditional, German-style Kolsch), hard seltzers, and a rotating roster of food trucks.

Beer brewed at this 165-acre ranch in Texas Hill Country isn't run of the mill—instead, there are unique options like a beer featuring 100% Texas ingredients and farmhouse cider crafted from Texas apples—the perfect pairing with pizzas baked on site.

Put this spot on your list of breweries to visit in 2023, which is when Crowns & Hops will open its flagship restaurant and brewpub in Inglewood, Calif.
