>When you have young children, your demand for... visiting local microbreweries diminishes, as there are now more things that occupy your time and attention

I totally agree and I'm sure the data supports it but before covid every brewery in Austin was packed with families. I actually stopped visiting many during the weekends because there would be dozens of loud kids with tired and defeated parents drinking nearby. It was annoying.

Austin is the kind of city that families move to after having kids. A microbrewery in Austin most likely has minivan parking and stacks of kids' high chairs.

If kids really annoy you that much, you might be the perfect candidate for moving to a city where having kids is actually difficult or expensive.
