There's whiskey in my house, where my underage son is, whiskey in the restaurants we frequent (not to mention the one in which he works) and whiskey books and magazines all around the house. The message is everywhere, but it's still up to my wife and me to do our best to keep him from consuming it, hard as that is when he's a curious teen. The worst thing that could happen from a tour is that a child would get multi-level education in fermentation, distillation and history. Surely anyone younger than 8th grade would be, as one person said, bored silly. High school and up might think it's cool.<br />Steve Coomeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05764025170576929663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840930092789285091.post-89476765534387986392015-11-12T21:07:52.968-06:002015-11-12T21:07:52.968-06:00We have always been open to kids at 2bar Spirits i...We have always been open to kids at 2bar Spirits in Seattle.

Anybody who chooses to do some activity with their OWN CHILDREN, which is completely legal, needn't be concerned with the OPINIONS of these boors.

It's more a practical thing than a moral thing. Makers, Woodford, even the new Beam Experience -- these are cultivated spaces aimed at a sort of picnic-y family event. I think they work well for kids, because there's space for them to run around and be kids when their attention inevitably wanes regarding info about mashbills, while separating that stuff a bit from people who are interested in the tour itself (adults). On the other hand, Four Roses, Wild Turkey -- these are industrial, behind the scenes tours full of machinery and grit. I think kids would be bored silly on them, which causes problems. Maybe someone with kids can develop a rating system for each distillery.<br /><br />Now, kids in a bar...that's another thing entirely!Keith Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06858389574305238460noreply@blogger.com
