kids need to learn the important stuff early....

like checking out the lovibond chart on the way to school.

That is awesome!

he was sooooo quiet on the way to school and i turned around at the red light and found out why…

That is terrific!  :)  Two of my three kids have some interest in brewing.  Now if I can get them to pick up some of the books…

That’s fine now - wait 'till he’s a teenager!

i know, right.  hopefully he will be my assistant brewer by then.  he’d be a 4th generation brewer!

Wow…4 generations of brewers.  That’s something to be proud of there.  8)

That’s awesome!  My little guy loves to watch me brew.  I’m hoping to bring him on board as an assistant when he’s ready. :slight_smile:

Folks were laughing at me at a pool party once because my youngest was still in diapers but he knew how to refill my beer from a keg and bring it to me so I didn’t have to leave the pool.  Good pour each time to boot!

That is really cool!

They do seem to pick that up. My son is now 22 and brewing too!

My kids don’t get to taste much beer - but they smell plenty, starting from the mash tun through to when I am drinking. I figured that we teach them the names of colours and musical notes - why not aromas. Their noses are pretty sharp - they just need to learn the names of things.

My wife is into cooking and does the same with herbs - getting them to indentify what she has used.

We’re the same way Ant, trying to teach them how to taste and smell and identify different ingredients.  They like that game. :slight_smile:

That is an awesome idea y’all!

My 12 year old daughter knows more about craft beer than half of my friends without ever having tasted.  I think its great

Oh great,are you guys letting them drink the beer too? You should all be behind bars.

Or at least at bars. :wink:

+1  yeah, my dad let us kids drink his beer at home as kids, and look where that got me!  ;D

In my state it is completely legal for a parent to give a minor alcohol. These days it’s frowned upon but still legal. My parents let me taste but had to grab the Coors can out of my little hands since I already showed the propensity to chug. ;D

if my son asks for a sip, which he does on a rare occasion, i give it to him.  my dad gave me sips and his dad him and his dad him.  i think i said earlier that if he brews, he will be a fourth generation brewer.  it would be five, but my dad has never brewed a beer…  yet…

In the UK it is illegal to give an alcoholic drink to a child under five except under medical supervision in an emergency.
