Good Lord! Am I the only beer loving female here?

I think lots of women like to drink beer but I wonder how many have real passion for it? Beer drinking to me is an institution, sure I like to set myself up over the favorite sports game, yell loudly and drink loads of ice cold Amber liquid. But more than that, If I walk into a pub and it has taps with different beers, ales and stouts lined up I just salivate.

Tasting new types, including the home brews is really a great hobby of mine. I like a drop of wine and have been known to sprout quite poetic words about it. But nothing beats that first hit of a good beer followed by an eloquent ahhhhhhhhh! Yep, that's some good s**t.

So tell me if you know any other women who love a drop of the good old beer, or maybe you are one, (a woman not a beer)

Right now you are - but that will hopefully be changing soon!

 

The only one?  That would be making a rather big assumption.  I brew only occassionally but am very keen on beer and consume it in preference to anything else.  I am still stuggling to find beer I like in Indiana--especially as the bars don't seem to carry much in the way of my favorites, ales, microbrewed etc.  But as good NZ/Australians beers are not acrrued here at all I am having to learn very fast and it's a good excuse to ask for lots of free samples wink

 

Well I did mean just here posting in this forum not the only one worldwide hehe. I know I could not lay claim to that.

I hope we get some more women on here to tell us of their brewing expertise.

I'm definitely going to give it a go and now I have a little more understanding of the process it has helped a lot.

I knew what you meant... it's just that on forums a lot of women use male or neutral names.  It's just easier that way sometimes wink

 

Wendy, why do you assume that you are the only female?

 

Wendy, add another lady to the list!  I haven't always had a passion for beer.  I think my passion started at a local brewing company.  Since then I haven't looked back!

I wasn't assuming as much as asking if any other women were here and like brewing/tasting/drinking beers and ales etc.

I dunno, I just thought the chat forum might like another topic to chat about.

Sounds great Shell78. I guess my love for beers and such began when the groups I drank with were predominently male and it seemed such a hassle to ask for a bacardi and coke when everyone else was having beer (we always drank in shouts) so I just said Oh get me a beer then.

I loved it and then when I realized there was such a wide range of types my curiosity spiked. My hubby tried a few brews and I did a stout or two, which I enjoyed. I had tasted a lot of home brew from friends and relatives and it always amazed me [precise the process needed to be, but how each persons could taste so different.

Hi Wendy. Perhaps you're the only woman on the forum with a recognizably female name? LOL. Add me to the female beer fan category.
