The lady who opened up at 9am did seem a little surprised to find two adults with toddlers waiting outside the brewery door. 'The first step to addressing a problem is admitting you have one,' her eyes seemed to be saying, but we were allowed in.
The coffee shop is fabulous and exceedingly childproof, being mostly made of concrete. There's a bit too much white wood around so crayons were left in their nappy bags, but the boys didn't mind as there was plenty of space to run around, a large window to blow raspberries on, and a car garage across the street where people walked under cars that were in the air! Amazing. Also, as this isn't Vegas, we were the only people in the bar at 9am and could disturb no one.
All in all, a marvelous outing. I sat back and reflected on how easy childcare is as I ordered my third cappuccino, pint of Belgium Tripel, and tequila chaser.
That's what it's all about.
And this too.
So which one would you like?
Pete samples from their non-alcoholic and non-caffeinated range. You're such a killjoy, dad.
The food was pretty good too - you need something to soak up the alcohol.
Beer, coffee, & snacks. And babies. Perfect!
