    Beer is for GIRLS

    Flowers are for men

    Or for everyone if you’re a woke lib who thinks women can appreciate flowers.

      My wife buys me flowers and it makes me feel really special. She doesn’t care for flowers at all, but she knows that I do, which makes me appreciate that much more that she’d pick out and pay for something that only I like.

        Funny. But for real, phytoestrogens have really been slandered by masculine culture so afraid of anything femme.

        Phytoestrogens, like those found in soy, actually make the body produce less estrogen and tend to help regulate estrogen hormonal production.

        It does not just make you more feminine and make it harder to get strong unlike most manosphere peeps believe about “soyboys.” I wonder if the phytoestrogens in beer are the same way.

    You can keep your bread-flavored soda. My water is flavored with ROCKS (minerals added for taste).

    Hey, hops seems to have phytoestrgens like soy, so all beerdrinkers are soyboys too, eheh.

      There’s a brewery I love that does a beer designed as a weed beer but no thc or even cbd. The hops they use are so skunky, you’d swear you were just drinking weed.

    Beer is basically flower juice. Also, I’m still non-binary, I prefer gender-neutral and feminine terms, and I will transition in the future. Seriously!

    (hopped) Beer tastes like utter shit and I don’t understand how anyone can stomach the equivalent of watering down unsweetened cacao with a worse aftertaste and the lack of alcohol content to actually make you drunk, with the additional negative that you’re basically drinking bad tasting bread so you’re gonna become fat

        Old style IPA also is good but it’s nothing like what IPA means now

        IPA used to (and still does in some places and to some people) high alcohol (6 to 8%), low malt flavour, very bitter, no hop flavour

        It was made for export to India (hence the name) in the age of sail, they believed the hop bitters and alcohol would make it last long enough for the 3 month trip plus however long it took to be sold.

      Liking beer or not is a matter of personal tastes. However, if the beer tastes like “watered down unsweetened cocoa”, then it’s probably poor quality beer. Good beer should taste different from everything, even other beers.

      Dreadbeef recommended IPA; if you’re into bitter flavours, I also recommend it. There’s also sweet stouts if you like sweeter ones. (Juuust in case you’re here from LatAm, note mass produced pilsener are typically really bland and meh. A lot of people like it this way, that’s fine, but it would explain why you think it’s watered down cocoa.)

        IPA usually means “fruity flavour” now. IPAs haven’t been bitter in the last few years, much to my disappointment; I really like old style IPA.

          Dunno if sold outside the southern cone, but I recommend the IPAs from the brand Patagonia. They do have some fruitiness, but it’s kind of subtle, and you only feel it after all that typical IPA bitterness.
