(I can and do drink pretty much anything with a smile, but that's manners!)<br /><br />I notice that hops tend to taste nasty to most women-- or it may just be "most non-beer-drinkers." Guess the balance boils down to not being Coors light but not being overpowering, either*.<br /><br />If you really want to get a woman interested in beers, around Valentine's day there are sometimes <a href="http://blog.mlive.com/great-tastes/2008/02/beer_chocolate_love.html" rel="nofollow">brew-and-chocolate</a> samplings that are pretty nice. (Beer works with chocolate better than wine does, and "microbrew" or "craft" is an easier sell than "beer.")<br /><br />Ooh, you could also go the "Let's try something new together, then" if they've got something malty (is that a word?) on tap. <br /><br />Want to get REALLY fancy, and get her talking about herself, <a href="http://www.brew-monkey.com/articles/pairingbeer.php" rel="nofollow">you might memorize</a> some beer-and-food pairing stuff-- or have a cheat-sheet made up sort of cute, perhaps, if you can keep up one end of the conversation on the art of brewing.<br /><br /><br />*(You don't introduce someone to wine with a sharp white or a really strong red, you introduce a more mild one or a really good sangria, maybe just a fruity red if they like sweetness; you don't introduce someone to good whiskey by handing them a sniffer, you break out the bar book and use something that's not rot-gut for a small glass recipe, or even a strong soda highball if that complements.)Foxfierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10161683096247890834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380020490988139400.post-63335459014860214112011-03-08T10:50:18.329-08:002011-03-08T10:50:18.329-08:00Foxfier, thanks, exactly the input I was looking f...Foxfier, thanks, exactly the input I was looking for.B-Daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13880092017105841256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5380020490988139400.post-73751915249291339172011-03-08T08:46:38.645-08:002011-03-08T08:46:38.645-08:00If they have it, Kirin (any type) is good; if she ...If they have it, Kirin (any type) is good; if she likes the idea of Guinness, Killian's is solid but not so hoppy.
