Beer is generally thought to be a mans drink. Emma Mahony agreed, until she tried the new ales that brewers are creating specifically for women: Janet Street-Porter is prising off her purple high heels, seated at a table groaning with new female-friendly beers. I hate everything about beer culture, she carps. I hate the smell of beer, I hate mens beer guts, I hate all the crap that goes with beer. She pauses only to put on her trainers and summon new vitriol. You know, one in four pubs is closing and they deserve to close because they are bloody crap! Right ho, Janet. The balanced discussion on why British women tend not to drink beer has got off to a lairy start. I cant help thinking that if this were a group of Frenchwomen discussing wine, the conversation might be a little more elevated. But it certainly confirms that Project Eve, a new campaign to encourage more women to give beer a try, has some way to go: Street-Porter is not alone in her antipathy to the hop.

I've stared at that picture for awhile, and I absolutely cannot figure out how she's suspending at least three of those beers!
At my work we will have parking lot parties after work. Which includes cases of beer. My favorite thing was swigging from a co-workers’ and telling them how nasty it was every time someone asked why I didn’t drink beer. It was pointed out that I had drunk 2/3 of his beer doing that. Next time I started he held it tightly.
Mmmm, Alaska Smoked Porter, had one of those while Sarah was knocking the stuffings out of Plugs in the debate!
Lite beer is what real beer becomes, but only after the drinker is done with it...
Black and tan fan here, too!
My husband thinks that Sam Adams Cherry Wheat is the only Sam Adams he can’t drink. Says it tastes like cough medicine.
All three of her.
By the look on her face, I can tell that she's not worthy.
