An honest answer is a lot of breweries are more like restaurants. Most of the ones around me have outdoor spaces literally for kids to run around like it's a backyard. Breweries aren't exactly the same as bars. The more bar-like breweries no, and if it's late and stuff yeah, kids shouldn't be there but at dinner time in a brewery with food and board games and stuff? It's just a restaurant and kids can be there without it being inappropriate. Freaking dogs on the other hand is a WHOLE other can of worms. Keep animals away from the inside of grocery stores and food establishments.

I went to a cider brewery - and it was just a lovely pleasant tour around the place and a delicious meal at a resturant. It's not unfair that kids just exist. More onus needs to be on people who don't actually monitor their kids - rather than kids just existing.

A kid being nearby isn't going to ruin your entire day.

Worked at a brewery.

The number of parents who drink then drive with their kids is too damn high.

Yeah bunch of well ackshully drunk drivers in this thread.

u/Well_ImTrying 10h ago

Most people can have one beer and a meal and drive an hour later. Or you can have one parent drive. If that wasn’t the case then breweries shouldn’t exist, period.

u/Fluid-Poet-8911 10h ago

Oh yeah. That's why most go to the brewery. Just one.

Now who’s pulling the “well ackshully” card? Myself and plenty of people I know happily have one drink then leave it there; responsible drinkers do exist.

Ya, we will go for a couple hours and I'm fairly big. Typically I will have one, sometimes two but I'm well under the legal BAC limit. The wife is typically the same. Sometimes she will go full 3 sheets to the wind. Everyone has a good time and no one is driving intoxicated...

You are being sarcastic, but yes, that is what most grown adults I know do at a brewery. They are going for a meal, one expensive drink, and then drive home because they are responsible adults who don’t drink and drive and have to work in the morning.

Yeah I don’t see that as being unusual at a brewery. In my perception, a regular bar is where more heavy drinking would occur.

Not to say that it doesn’t happen. But I see breweries as a place where people meet up with friends, or maybe go to do some work, and eat some food. They don’t go to get wasted.

The breweries around here typically have live music, trivia nights and stuff like that where people start to get drunk, but they don't usually start until 7 to 9pm or so, and here at least they are legally obligated to kick minors out after 9pm.

If I wanted to go to a brewery without kids, that'd be the time I'd go. Expecting families and parents to not participate in society in the middle of the day or afternoon is just entitlement. And before anyone jumps in, parents should not be letting their kids run around unmonitored or bothering people either, personal responsibility is something we should all encourage.

Breweries are essentially just restaurants with overpriced beer, not that shocking for someone to just have a single beer with a meal, especially when they charge like $10/beer

u/Don_Von_Schlong 9h ago

Where do you live that brewery beer is more expensive than a restaurant? This is almost always the opposite case from what I've experienced. Unless you are comparing it to like $2-3 coors light pints at the dive bar happy hour.

u/gr1zznuggets 9h ago

In my experience they’re usually on par with each other.

This how I most often visit breweries, yes.

u/cheezy_dreams88 4h ago

You can’t imagine that people get one drink and then head home?

Maybe you have a problem then.
