100% agree, and I am a frequent brewery patron and not a parent. I think a big reason breweries have gotten so popular is that the vibe is different compared to a "bar" and I think people were looking for a community place where it is socially acceptable to have a drink mid-day, potentially with a kid or dog in tow (outside only for the dog though). This is way more common in Europe and it was really missing here until the breweries started opening.

Obviously it's not appropriate to bring kids to some super crowded rowdy brewery at 9pm but I don't have a problem at all with it on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. A lot of the breweries have games and stuff to keep kids occupied and a lot of them are very spacious and not very full midday.
