women and beer

blah blah blah women and beer blah blah blah yes, women are an untapped beer market but if you keep pandering to what you think they want rather than asking, you're likely to keep that market untapped sheesh! enough with the stupid articles about women and beer cocktails , women and low-calorie beers, women and fruity pink beers dammit, as many men drink those things as women and very soon just as many women as men will be drinking all the beautiful craft beers out there because they are tasty and good quality... and rarely advertise misogynistically plus, hops are wonderful creatures, especially for women i think more and more women are going to drink beer, realize it makes them feel good and go back for more! in the meantime can we all just drink beer (quality beer!) without making it about the binary gender stereotypes? please?

ah gender equality! first the gals had to hide their flab under spanx now the guys get to hide their beer bellies under manx until there is a "calorie-after" pill or a general acceptance of less-than-model-skinny bodies at least they're not telling us not to drink beer! go manx!

grrrr

i am woman, hear me roar! but not today today its more of a frustrated growl i'm really annoyed by the pandering of the major players in the beer industry to what they have decided women want in beer me, i want what every other beer loving human wants:  real, quality brews i'm tired of being told women are different from other beer drinkers (unless you include all those other beer-guzzling species here, that means men) and that women need special marketing and different recipes to drink beer gee, maybe have a beer commercial that doesn't feature vapid barely dressed women and more actual women might feel inclined to try your product or wait, put some flavour in your beer and people with brains might want to drink it any way, that's my soap box for now and it was inspired by the always condescending molson coors who bring us floral light beer for the vapid women in your life

for the entire province article about women in beer at vancouver craft beer week, click here Connolly, Dale and Fenn are three of the drivers behind the Women and Beer event on May 12, part of craft beer week. The nine-day festival boasts more than 60 events across Metro Vancouver that feature many of B.C.’s 30-plus microbreweries. The wider scope of this year’s craft beer week is a response to last year’s sellout events and the growing thirst for craft beer in all its styles — from pale wheat ale to inky-black imperial stout. The latest figures from the B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch show overall packaged beer sales falling 8.6 per cent year-over-year — but a 40-per-cent spike for microbreweries’ packaged product. Not to be outdone, a team of women brewers, including Connolly, has created its own collaborative brew for VCBW, a cherrywood-smoked Belgian-style beer. Over a round of craft ale in the Alibi Room bar in Gastown, Connolly, Dale and Fenn agree that the female presence i...
