    Women drinking beer? That's just crazy talk...

    Companies invest so much money into marketing, branding and advertising for one very good reason. Because it works.

    Some women may find the idea of drinking beer off putting as there is a possible stigma attached to it as being unfeminine. Pretty much the same way that guys will avoid "diet" branded products because it appears umasculine. Coke Zero + Pepsi Max = Diet Coke + Diet Pepsi for men. Rebrand beer in a different way and more women will drink it. No biggie.

    But it is a big deal. I have no problem with people marketing stuff to women, but that just means putting a woman in the commercial, literally showing a woman drinking beer. It does not mean reinforcing ridiculous and outdated stereotypes that women like pick and awful fonts. I mean, the carry case is made to look like a bag/purse. Seriously. We are not that stupid. Also, we are not that predictable. It's patronising.

    I remember getting a lecture from a gentleman in a bar once regarding women drinking beer - if you must it needs to be in a glass, apparently it reflected very poorly on my character because I was drinking from the bottle.

    Yeah, that means you're a hussy. You're going to hell I'm afraid. If only you'd drunk Chick Beer from a martini glass.

    I was afraid of this. Maybe this Chick Beer is my redemption.

    Oh I LOVE beer breath on my husband. Can't get enough of it. It's when he drinks coconut rum that I can't stand it. The smell on his breath is nauseating, and I usually love the taste of coconut.

    Me too, well minus the football part. I've tried but I just can't get into it.


    I went to school about 20 min from where they make Yuengling. It was great, we could get 50 cent drafts at all the local bars.

    Baseball (RED SOX) and beer = a perfect night. I don't care for football.

    I'm jealous of the cheap Yuengling, I'm a Pennsylvania girl, that stuff is in my blood!

    I like a woman who is comfortable enough to drink a beer that isn't covered with a font that has went out of style in the 90's and doesn't need everything in her life to be pink and fufu. The more I look at the image of the beer, it kind of annoys me. Why does everything have to be broken down like that. I'm almost offended. What is my beer that I drink not good enough for a woman? Are women not good enough to drink so called "man" beer? It's basically making a status symbol of something that never should have a status symbol made out of it.

    /rant off.

    One of the professors would take her class on a tour of the brewery, I waited until I was 21 to take the class so I could get my free samples. It was the one semester she didn't do the tour.

    I have been out of school for awhile, it is a bit more expensive but still a lot cheaper than it is here.
