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?

cask night

last night's cask at the yaletown brewpub was their pale ale dry-hopped with cascades and it was a good one! rumour has it there's a stout cask coming up... because it was martini night (and that's not my scene) we left yaletown for rogue wetbar and more beer because we follow rogue on twitter we got to try one of their new beer cocktails for free! i love free! and i love a bellini, so i went for the beerlini pyramid apricot beer with bellini slush it makes for a murky drink, but damn, its delicious! then i had to have a pint of the hopworks abominable winter ale because they still had some available at rogue as their rotating tap guess it isn't officially spring for a couple more days...
