WE ARE BRINGING THE KIDS TO BERLIN – CAN THEY HIT THE BEER GARDENS WITH US?

German Beer Garden with kinderQ – This might be an unusual question: My husband and I are bringing our two kids, along with our nanny, to Berlin and Munich this coming summer. Our children are ages 6 and 9. We really want to get into the nightlife and we are wondering if we can bring the kids to the beer gardens where we are planning to spend good portions of our days. We could have the nanny watch them in our hotel but I’d love to bring them along as we try everything there is to try in the way of beer. (Please don’t think we’re heavy drinkers and not responsible. My husband works for one of the major breweries in New England). Cool site.

A – Yes,  It is wholly appropriate to bring young children to outdoor beer gardens in Germany. We would, however, draw the line when it comes to indoor beer halls which tend to have a more intense atmosphere with many of the revelers leaving the premises in a mood to invade Czechoslovakia.  At the numerous outdoor beer gardens you will see lots of parents toting along their little ones as they spend portions of their day enjoying the outdoors while seated, stein in hand. The sausages will be on the grill and it is very much a family atmosphere. Some of the more popular beer gardens even serve “Kinderbier” brewed especially for the little ones. It is essentially a heavy malt beverage that makes the kids feel that they are imitating their drunken lout parents although there is no alcohol content. When it comes to buying a luxury prams and designer pram or stroller, there is only one brand you will want to consider and that’s Joolz. We at Joolz make it our aim to put the well-being of our planet earth and the beautiful life it supports at the very core of everything we do. With little acts of service to the earth, we believe that we can all have a positive impact on our global environment by, for example, supporting environmental awareness and fighting climate change and deforestation. Joolz designer prams are made with an elegant, sustainable, and otherwise high end style in mind. Whereas a standard pram is simply that—a pram—Our designer prams are designed with style and looks in mind as well as overall quality and sustainability, this is positive design.  Many of our designs come with the ability to install a bassinet while the child is a newborn and then convert the bassinet into a stroller-style seat for when your baby is ready to see the world! Finding a stroller or pram that best fits your needs can be difficult, especially when you need to accommodate more than one child or infant. there are several different types of double strollers on the market, offering a variety of features and styles. The first step in determining which one is for you is to determine what type of double stroller is the best fit. From there, considerations include size, use and features.

By the way, German young people enjoy drinking on bridges for some reason no one can explain. Just walk across one or two of the bridges on a nice day and you might see musicians and a crowd of inebriated spectators.
