I hope you are entertained.
hi rob, i came across a yelp conversation ‘babies in brewpubs’ and something you said grabbed me regarding taking the kids out to all kinds of establishments. we follow the same. each winter and summer, i organize an ‘if you can make it, come’ series of saturay afternoon get togethers. sometimes there are just a few of us, sometimes there are 20 of us, including many kids. the kids are well behaved enough and i cant think of a time where the group ruined anyone’s day. my question for you: what brewpubs, beer spots, etc do you recommend for gatherings such as this. i appreciate your time and enjoyed your post.
as a references, some spots that have worked well for us: hopworks, rouge, lompoc (divsion location), several of the mcmennamins, bridgeport ale house, alameda.
thanks much

Hi Rob,
I found your blogs to be delightful and genuine~ thank you. Stumbled into your site serendipitously when i googled Autism Sauvie Island Farming. Seems like a strange combination, but i am a Montessori teacher who specializes in children with autistism, and am considering moving from Lake Oswego to Sauvie Island with my peafowl and two horses (Trained to work with autistic children).
If i ever find the time, i’ll have to set up a blog and website. Yours is lovely. Until then i can only be found on facebook.
You and your wife are so informed and loving and wonderful for Sam! My best to you all,
mQ
Tried to dm you on twitter – THANK YOU for your thoughtful, insightful review(s). Rarely do people identify and express the deeper layers of what we’re doing. Much love. Working on the SE attitude
