Does she help with the brewing? If not, get her involved. Surprising how much a person is much more attuned to the taste of beer, when they're involved in the process. Get all the recipes and descriptions that you can and have her peruse them, asking her to pick something that strikes her fancy. Then brew it together, having her do the lion's share.(without the usual spousal prompting and criticism). It's like a big chemistry experiment. People will always be concerned about the fruits of their labor. If the end result is something that she likes - voila! If not, she may be the type that wants to succeed, and so she'll want to try again. Worst case scenario, even if she still doesn't like beer, you've got an assistant brewmaster. All thru the process, compliment her on her technique, ie, attention to detail, cleanliness. (even if you cringe at how she does things).
Then the question remains. Do you really care if she likes beer, or are you just concerned that she supports your habit? Maybe this is the question that you really have to ask yourself.
Sorry for the long-windedness. I've already had two DFHs.
