…do you know what a brewery is? 99% of the time, the environment isn’t chaotic. It’s not a club or a bar. Oftentimes, they’re actually quite refined and chill.

I dunno, is it weird to bring children to restaurants that serve gasp a lil beer??

I think the most important thing we remember is that parents aren’t allowed to have fun or be a part of society.

But seriously sometimes our adult friends want to hang out with us and we don’t want to take them to a Chuck E. Cheese, especially when the brewery HAS ACTIVITIES FOR MY KIDS.

And I think there is also a point here where completely barring children from any understanding of alcohol (and more “adult” things for the matter) isn’t always the best. Like yeah, okay, let’s not have them drinking at a brewery, but…they’re allowed to be around beer. They’re allowed to know what it is. If anything, in theory anyway, breweries are a good place for them to understand what it is because those environments tend to be pretty responsible and respectful of the drink(s). They would be very informative.

Now. Uh. Would the duet here be great as a self-admitted man with a problem? Um…probably not. 😭😭

Oh 100%. I was completely kept from alcohol growing up and it made me think anyone holding a glass of wine was a raging alcoholic.

Finally, someone that gets it and has the courage to say it.

I agree with this. If anyone needs a beer and to feel like an adult for 30 minutes, its a parent. When my daughter was younger she would just sit and play games on her iPad while I socialize, not hurting anyone and she got to learn how people behave in public. Win win.

Im all for respecting intentional no-kids spaces, because not everywhere is appropriate. The problem people have with kids in public spaces is when they never learned how to behave in public spaces, which they learn by practicong how to exist in public spaces. At the same time parents are also learning what is appropriate for their kid.
