Show me a pub with that kind of markup.

I'll stick with sporting events since we're talking about them and not pubs.
A can of Molson will cost you $13 at the St. Pete Times Forum (now Tampa Bay Times Forum). Bottled water is $5.

My five year old actually asked me if we could go on the Dogfish tour the next time we go to the beach.

She went on the Heavy Seas tour when she was two or three and sketched in her sketch book the whole time.

And as I said before, she's been fine in breweries and pubs in the US and around the world.

It really depends on the kid. Some are very well behaved and can handle it, some are complete shitshows. It also probably helps to only have one.

Oh on the Heavy Seas tour two people brought babies with them.  One of the babies cried the whole tour.  Why would you bring a baby to a brewery tour.  And this comes after friday night when I was at a pub with live music and someone at the table next to me had a baby that was crying the whole time.  Get a sitter or stay home.  Geez.

Anyway my next brewery tour is Flying Dog and I saw this and smiled:

All brewery tours and events are for those 21 or older. Please do not bring children.

There is a difference between five year olds and babies.  Don't bring a baby to a bar or a brewery tour.  Well I know some five year olds that have no business being on a brewery tour. 

I also think time of day (like before 7pm) and nature of establishment (is it a bar only or a restaurant with a bar) should factor in the decision as well. Also, baby carriers (strapping them to you) and breastfeeding help keep the baby quiet.

I don't see Verizon Center on that list.  There are 30 teams in the NHL and 30 arenas listed on that graphic.  What gives?

Reporting from the dinner table…yes Heady Topper straight from the can goes well with half price Papa Johns (thanks, Nats).

stop eating that so called "pizza."  tell your kids to stop, too.  they and you will live longer.

I'm guessing the creator didn't like the former Southeast division as all their arena names are old. It's labelled as Us Airways arena. Also RBC arena is now PNC arena, BankAtlantic is now BB&T arena. St. Pete times forum is now Tampa Bay Times forum,

nice observation. 

atlanta, tampa bay, florida, washington, and carolina. what a thrilling division.

Anybody have a recommendation of a "must have" beer(s) that I should look for at my one beer shop stop in NYC that I can't get here? Maybe Ithaca Flower Power? What else?

They also have the Izod Center on there and the Devils play at the Prudential Center now.

Genesse Cream Ale.

Growing up in upstate NY, I probably already had that as a teenager. No need to repeat teenage mistakes!

i believe you can get Captain Lawrence in NYC.  their specialty beers are pretty solid.  i recently had the Golden Delicious, t'was really nice. http://www.captainlawrencebrewing.com/the-beers/#specialty

Another Stone "Enjoy by" is out.  This one's dated 7/4/13.  Someone was kind enough to post that Gilly's in Rockville had the last installment.  They're not sure if they are getting this one.  If anyone hears of its arrival in this area (preferably upper NW), please post!

Even better, Stone Ruinten is onthe way!

I believe Crooked Stave has arrived in NYC.

Definitely on my list. Despite my distaste for sours.

And on my list of places to visit on my 2014 Colorado vacation I'm dreaming up.

AleSmith Speedway Stout is readily available in NYC. I've seen Cigar City Marshal Zhukov Stout up there too but I think that's seasonal.

The new Enjoy By is not distributed in this area.
