Is it just me or does anyone else think bringing children to the opening of a business whose main purpose is brewing and selling beer is inappropriate in the first place?

Also, does every business that asks for community support need to be "family-friendly?"

Okay, admittedly, I'm feeling crotchity today, but I'm copying the announcement that was sent out about the event. It clearly said 21 and over.

I will dwell on Kyle and his beer no more.

Dear CPN Members,

The proprietors of the upcoming Dock Street Brewery and Restaurant, along with the University City District, would like to invite all of you to a "Before" Party on Wednesday, February 28th, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm, at the Firehouse, 701 South 50th Street (see the attached flyer).

Many of you pitched in to help support Dock Street in its efforts to open at the Firehouse, so come celebrate the beginning of construction and get a taste (literally) of what to expect when the restaurant opens later this year. "The Illuminator," Dock Street's famous double-bock beer, will be served. For this reason, the event will be only for neighbors 21 and over.

Hope to see you there,

Cedar Park Neighbors,

Now that I've had an opportunity to look at the picture I remember what that event was. I'm still frosted that after asking for community support to get them in the building, the welcome party was tailored only to people who could drink beer at 5 in the afternoon ( i.e. not family friendly).

Hope the beer was good ...


Bruce, there were plenty of kids there, and I think there were nonalcoholic drinks too. There was something other than beer; I didn't get anything to drink, so I forget what. I'm not a beer drinker, but I enjoyed the event. They hadn't even begun to turn the building into a restaurant, so they had no kitchen and couldn't serve much! It was a standing event, not sit down at tables. Your kids would have been welcome, but it was crowded, so they might not have enjoyed it. And it wasn't only at 5 p.m.; it went on for a couple of hours.
