I'm all for a stout movement and women drinking more beer! Though we all know after watching 'Inside the Factory', Guinness is definitely a macro lager with some black steeping grains added in for colour and some nitrogen for mouthfeel.
The 0% stuff is quite nice though from the can.
Late to this thread…. I haven’t touched Guinness since a bad evening with some friends at university and an ill thought through downing of pints of the stuff 🤢. I have though recently tried the non alcoholic version, and it’s sort of ok but I wouldn’t rush back. I know I risk being shot down in flames for mentioning the company.. but I quite like Black heart from Brew Dog. Not something I’d drink regularly but yes sometimes I’d make it a choice.

I certainly don’t fit the profile in the Guardian though… of being influenced by social media and celebrity endorsements! My celebrity idol is probably Michelle Obama 😂

When I worked on the mine sites in Indonesia I couldn't interest a woman with a Bintang. The only thing they all drank was Guinness imported from Ireland
It just occurred to me that in the czech republic dark lagers are considered a woman's drink. hey ho - Guinness 🤔 only the czech alternative is better. What about german dark beers as well? - Mrs DOJ prefers most of my dark beers to my light ones. We all know @Hazelwood Brewery what Mrs H enjoys 🙂

Thought this was a beer forum, sheesh!

She does like a bourbon barrel-aged imperial and if she’s drunk all of that she likes a regular imperial.
 
When I was a kid in the 60's quite few women drank half a Bitter or if they were feeling flush a Mackeson

Since the invention of pale malts you could argue that all modern beers are some sort of pale ale/lager with speciality malts added just for flavouring or colouring.

Yes pretty much but I think the objection is the separation of processing as if the final product is just alcohol with water and beer flavour added.

My wife isn’t keen on the darker beers I have made and will noticeably avoid anything I have described as sweet even when it is true to style.
