Female Beer Drinkers

The part about there being more females on BA is spot on. I always get a chuckle when someone replies to a post with something like "thanks man or buddy or bro", and then you click on the profile and its actually a female. I always take a quick glance at profiles before I respond and confirm. And yeah, overall, I definitely notice more and more females on the site, which I agree is not a bad thing either.

 

I'm sure you weren't posting in reference to the demographic slicing that happens in marketing. But when you do work in marketing, it's something that happens automatically.

It's not about passing permanent judgement, making assumptions about deep aspects of a person's personality, or attempting to pigeonhole them into a certain size dwelling and financial circumstance. People relate to others in relation to themselves. It's much easier to notice differences than similarities. When I meet a someone new, I'm not sizing up their income, marital status and sexual orientation. Odds are they'll go into a general mental pool of people I've become acquainted with. But if not for recalling specific aspects of a person's appearance, gender, sex, style, or any other cues that might have come up in conversation, that person is just another form with a face because I didn't categorize them in any way.

Absolutely. Different people notice different things.
You've never seen anyone driving a Ferrari and assumed they're rich?

Just because you make further assumptions beyond the person exactly as the stand before you (short white dude, prematurely thinning hair, beard, fitted jeans) doesn't mean you're not taking them at face value. How can you not make assumptions and inferences? You have to in order to remember anything.

 

My fiance never used to like beer, but now she is a HUGE hophead! The first beer she ever fell in love with was Bell's Hopslam (which is funny because she still prefers DIPAs/IIPAs over regular IPAs) and now she is hooked. She likes certain Imperial Stouts, some Porters, but she really enjoys the hoppy beers. I've tried to get her to enjoy Belgian beers, but she isn't a fan of the yeast strains. However, she does enjoy a good Sour. Actually, we both enjoy craft beer so much we're planning to have our honeymoon next year in CO to coincide with GABF! I also know quite a few other girls who love good beer too.

 

my gf looks at me funny when i take pictures of hauls and beers im drinkning...but she loves craft beer esp sours...good for me bad for my wallet.

 

Hell, I have no idea how my brain works, or the TV, computers, or basic aerodynamics. It's mysterious and our good ol' marketing brains have figured folks out, right, and put them in groups? As a good friend said recently, "you know how I hate people and they seem to everywhere these days". I kind of disagee, but I do understand the sentiment.

 

Have never rated a brew without my lady by my side...hence we are...The Brewo.

 

Your sexual orientation makes no difference to me man.

 

I prefer female craft drinkers to female non-craft drinkers. They tend to be more intellectual and just cooler in general. Hope I'm not offending anyone but then again if I am I give zero damns.

 

Humans are set up to categorize and sort everything, not just just other people. That is one of the characteristics we possess for survival among many other things.


Males make up about 5% of licensed childcare providers. Ask many woman when they call a daycare center, if they would naturally expect to hear a woman answer the phone, not a male.

There is nothing wrong with that. What IS wrong is to not accept that both woman AND men can be daycare providers.

 

My wife will try anything I put in front of her. She's grown to love craft beers almost as much as I do. I'm not saying I converted her, but when I ordered beers other than Bud Light or Miller Lite (what she used to drink most of the time back in the day) when we first started dating, she would try mine, like it, and wind up ordering herself one. Now she can't even drink a Bud Light...she says she's been too spoiled with good beer!

 

My better half will usually take a sip of my "craft" offerings but always says "No thanks, I'll stick to my Coors Lite (or wine)". It's probably for the best. She'd become a BA and I would NEVER get a chance to use the computer.

 

great pic! My wife and I were there in May! Tomorrow we go to San Diego to try everything we can. For the record, she likes Hopsickle and Hop Craic and things that I equate with paint remover. We both feel like like Pliny is definitely in the top 3 beers we've ever had. fwiw, we've been noticing that different bars have different proportions of women. A great bar is 50% women; The Davis Beer Shoppe in Davis Ca is often that way. So is Track 7 Brewing in Sacramento. Great beer, great clientele.

cheers,

 

That's great. Mutual enthusiasm is the best that life allows, I'm pretty sure.

 

Where did you say all these ultra-plentiful, uber-hott craft beer fanatic chicks were?

I have found that craft beer loving females are becoming more common all the time. I have also found that the college has a not-so-uncommon population of craft beer loving women. Some are even hop-heads.

I think the beer "revolution" (if you will) is supplanting the entrenched 'I'm a wine drinker, pinky out! Pinky out!!!" crowd. Around here, the last thing I would expect is the chance to buy a stone arrogant bastard at a gas station, but yet there it is. Almost every little place has something that's craft. Some exceptions exist, of course. However, virtually every grocery store now has craft beer of some sort, and the major ones frequently have a rather nice selection. Craft beer is here to stay, and men don't have a monopoly on that.

I even had a conversation with a super-hott hott (with two t's twice) girl who was not only into imperial stouts, but explained to me what a particular imperial stout was all about (her descriptions were spot on, BTW). I'm in love!

If I took all places to buy beer within either five minutes of my house or school, I would have perhaps 120 choices of beer (including some real good Tx breweries). Add in the two major liquor stores within ten minutes or so, I probably have 700 (or possibly a lot more choices, the big stores have large selections, but I'm not going to count). There is a great homebrew store not far from here, and even the big Gabriel's liquor has homebrew stuff now (and even certain employees that are good homebrewers, I've tried their stuff, and they know what they are doing). For an entrenched BMC state, I'd say craft beer is here to stay.

Girls welcome.

 

Ok so she was hot and liked beer but was she a Zappa fan? Now that would be a special kind of girl.

 

My bf and I homebrew together, as well as a married couple we know (they taught us) so it tends to be equal in that regard as well. Though I do know some friends who are part of a couple and the woman only likes mostly cider, but she may still help out in the process. She seems to know enough about it, at least.
