Before we had kids, we loved going to the local breweries to hang out for the afternoon. After we had kids, we were equally pleased to see that many of the breweries are family-friendly and offer activities and treats that kids (and other non-drinkers) love! Because let’s be honest– there’s a difference between places that allow kids and those who encourage you to bring them.\u00a0 With patio season upon us, check out one of these places that not only tolerate kids but also welcome them!<\/p>\n
