Turn Any Girl into a Beer Girl
So, there’s a reputable lady out there in the U.K. who has made it her life’s mission to turn beer into a chic, sensual and unrivaled drink to all the ladies.
Her name is Melissa Cole. She’s touring the country on her Girls’ Guide to Beer tour, which I do believe was the name of the last Motley Crue go around. Says Melissa, “There’s a huge history to beer and women are a part of that vast history. The name ‘Brewster’ actually stems from the name for a woman who used to brew the beer and it was only when the industrial revolution came that women were less likely to drink it.”
Part of her strategy to “feminize” beer includes holding tastings using petite wine flutes - as women are more likely to drink any beverage that’s served in an elegant glass. Does that make them worth taking home? We guess, a girl who drinks beer is a girl who drinks beer.
Another strategy she employs involves tasting beer with cheese. Anybody who is anybody knows that beer and cheese go way better together than wine and cheese. Beer and cheese are a match made in heaven, and they go even better together when they are mixed into a Fondue (another epicurean contraption that ladies love.)
If you’re a lady, and you love your lager, do testify in the comments. We’d love to hear from you.
Oh, and if you could leave your number, too. We promise we’ll wait three days.
The Top 10 Beers of the Great British Beer Festival [London Times]
You KNOW I’m a bit of a beer snob. Why else would I continue to come back? I like it here - although you need to figure out how to have an online pub - with actual tap service (Gawd, I’d never leave my laptop if it dispensed beer!)
But this business of drinking beer from wine flutes? Huh-uh. No way. Like a good Scotch, or Cognac, (or even wine, so I’m told) the shape of the glass affects the taste. Serve it right, or don’t serve it, girlfriend. You’ll not be doing your punters (or the brewers) any favors if you turn off the pigeons with an off tasting brew - especially since your stated intent is to convert the great unwashed. After they’re hooked, let them drink it straight from the bottle, who cares? (And yes, I’m a heathen, I’m known to do that. I am exceptionally lazy - I don’t want to spend my drinking time doing dishes.)
Oh, and my number? 1-800-beer-me1
*sigh* you don’t have any hints how to turn a guy into a beer man?
I know it’s not the beer I brew, he just prefers wine he says… :(
I wonder how much it will cost a universal conversion of graphic music and video files?
I would like to have the whole conversion at all.
