Gotta Girlie Beer Recipe?

[JoeyChopps]

So is there a good recipe for a pu$$y beer?

I have a recipe for a cranberry cream ale don't judge me.

Reality:

Men and women are different. One is not better than the other (well, I'd contend my wife is better than me...). Most of the women I know actually do prefer a certain style of beer over others. I'm not saying its ubiquitous, but I certainly don't take this tongue-in-cheek post offensively. Either did my wife.

Yooper- that recipe is gnarly... in a very goooood way

A lot of those differences are ingrained culturally however, not biologically.

Just as many are ingrained biologically. I won't get into my specific line of work, but this is one area where science tends to disagree with the purely "nurture" perspective (which, btw, I tend to rely on more often). Regardless, beer preference is likely not a biological predisposition, but even cultural influences are "real." Taking offense to such petty things as this thread, where there was no malicious intent, only serves to fan the flame of discrimination by keeping it alive when it doesn't need to be. That's all I'm saying

"girlie" beer, in quotations. Was looking for a recipe for those in my life(not yours) that don't like the beer I like. If you are offended, sorry. Maybe next time I'll ask what I can say so nobody is insulted. "Manly" Beer?

"Panty Dropper" is usually the colloquialism used for the type of beer you are looking for, though it appears if you're in Nawlins, it's more of a "****ie beer."

I made a Irish stout that had a OG=.044 and FG=.020 Never had that happen in about 100 Batches don't know what the hell went wrong , but anyway at only 2.some $hit ABV its sure to be a (Girl y) stout . Cant get it to go any lower I Must have been to shi^ faced when we read the mash temp I tried more yeast warmer temp with 02 Injection

 

[billl]

If you are having guests to your house and you know they don't like beer, why are you trying to make them drink beer? It's kinda like asking what meat you should serve to a vegetarian.

and you oxidized your beer? you don't want to add oxygen once fermentation has started, the beer now contains various compounds that shouldn't be exposed to O2.

Just to see if the FG would drop to me its a lost cause I was really not worry about harming a 2.2ABV beer its all experimenting with it from here on out most like I will end up adding some wild Turkey just to get some ABV or dump it I draw the line with NA beers , I mean it was only geared to be a 4.5abv witch is on the light side exc.....

OMG I'M SO INSULTED i can't believe you used the word panty a clear reference to women's underwear hence you're generalizing about women everywhere some don't even like underwear so your use of the term is very exclusionary and furthermore its ascription of cultural clothing norms serves only to perpetuate preconceived notions of social expectations and assigned gender stereotypes you are such a pig!!!

also, anyone have a good mead recipe?

Well technically I never made a reference to the gender of those wearing said garments....there are a few men who have a predilection for wearing them as well. I was just watching a documentary that mentioned that the director Ed Wood like to wear them, and didn't J Edgar Hoover as well?

*shudder*

This thread has more butt hurt than a prison shower.

Yooper has drank more horrible beer in front of me than I could. (She did throw in the towel 1 more sip after I did.) The wealth of knowledge she has helped me with my brewing/tasting/judging (in addition to opening my eyes to the fact that comments like "girlie beer" and the like are insulting and hurtful) is beyond my gratitude.

The fact is, each individuals taste is different. My wife loves stouts and wheat beers of the imperial variety and she is a "girly girl". I know another lady homebrewer who would tell you your IPA is sad and lacks hops and that can brew wines out of stuff that I never even thought of, that blow my mind.

I like terms that are not gender orientated like "porch pounder" for light sweet wines or "yellow fizzy" for light beers.

 

[PackerfaninSanDiego]

Had an extremely short conversaion with two of the girls in my life. They told me "no thanks" in a nice way about making a beer just for them. If I was going to brew a batch I was going to name it Split Tail Ale

What I find ironic is that calling a beer girly (in quotation marks) is offensive, but designing drinks so that one can take advantage of women is not.

Generalizations are generalizations. Nothing to get your panties in a bunch over. We all realize there are exceptions and no one is telling you that you have to like certain types of beer.

"Panty Dropper"...

I believe I have the new name for my labels! LoL


I don't think asking for a girlie beer is insulting... There are lots of 'whats manly' crap out there so how is asking for something 'girlie' insulting?

As for the OP question... My sis in law doesn't like my hoppy Ales or anything with too much hop flavor. She lets me know! I did a Summer Ale and she drank that down like nothing... really liked it. She said she like 'lighter' colored beers... then drank a Pumpkin Spice Ale (dark). She liked that.

About 1 month later all I took over to her & her hubby's was an Aussie IPA (hoppy).... she had nothing else to drink & she liked that.


moral, each lady is different, some like dark stouts, some prefer lighter fruity beers.

Unless you are Yooper, you like em all!

"What's manly" is as stupid as "what's girlie".

 

[phenry]

"What's manly" is as stupid as "what's girlie".

Shhhh... That kind of talk is going to lead to a complete implosion of marketing products as we know it.


The only way to really introduce someone who "doesn't like beer" to beer is just sit them down and pour a number of samples of different beers for them. Not just light, mild, fruity beers. One of my old roommates used to only drink Busch Light. First time he had Two Hearted he loved it, and now he drinks IPAs all the time. And if they aren't interested in doing that, so be it. Not everyone likes beer, nor do they have to.

 

[kaconga]

Most women I know that enjoy beer drink darker beers. Make a sweet stout or a nice dunkel. Nut brown ales are really great introductions to craft beers imo.

For the record my wife doesn't find this insulting. She might actually be disappointed there isn't more recipes for girly beer and this is mostly bitching about the thread title.

I have always heard of this using Busch heavy, and a 2-liter of Sprite added as well. Dangerous stuff regardless.

I might be wrong about the facts of this, but I recall reading once that "girlie" beers in Japan (meaning, "beer marketed mostly to women") were essentially highish-ABV darker, English-style sweet cask ales. The reasoning was that (generally) ladies over there liked sweetness over bitterness and weren't afraid of high alcohol since wine was viewed as popular among women.

I say this NOT to claim that such a beer would be favored by women generally (since that's a stupid concept, as Yooper and others have pointed out), but that cultures have different perceptions of femininity. Even inside a culture, the targets for this can change. Before the 1920's or so, pink was used as a "masculine" color for clothing for baby BOYS, and lighter blues were used for girls. By the end of WWII, pink was solidly cemented as a female color, and so it remains today. So don't get too hung up on these social constructs, as they shift a lot more than you'd think.
