Molson Coors Deal

[Linz]

Just goes to show what a classy bird you are Linz

I find the site quite condescending in tone.

It implies that women will only drink beer or lager if it is perceived as "fashionable" and with bits of fruit and bloody ice cubes in it (honestly... beer cocktails?!)

They've designed a poncy half glass for women because we are evidently too dainty and elegant to handle pints. And get this, they've made it out of bloody black glass so you can't see what you're sodding drinking!

Perhaps they do have a point as their research has apparently found that:

...a third of women in the UK enjoy drinking beer, but feel uncomfortable and embarrassed to order it outside of music or sporting events.

And it goes on to say that the partners of some women frown upon their wives and girlfriends drinking "a man's drink".

But surely the problem in this case is people being too insecure and setting too much store by what others think about them? And in the case of the blokes, a little insecurity about their own masculinity?

I might be in the minority but I don't give a shit about the opinions of people who cast aspersions on others solely because of what they drink.

Looked reight good yesterday at the posh meal with my lovely red dress on and a pint of Staropramen in my hand

Now all we need is a Toby Carvery in the ground..... hmmm where have I heard that before?

 

[SwissBlade]

Don't rtake any notice of our new ale partner Linz, if they carry on like that they'll alienate the fans quicker than a Blackwell Post match interview...

Correct me if i'm wrong but I thought all the fruity shite like VK, WKD and white wine spritzers were aimed at birds (and boys) that couldn't handle a pint???

An English woman or man should never feel uncomfortable about drinking a pint of Beer/ Pils/ Lager. As long as they can handle the content's without getting emotional or scrapping.

Lager is lager is lager. They are all the same. Yes it quenches a thirst and gets you pissed but there's more to drinking than that.

Try some real ale: maybe a pint of pale ale like Easy Rider, Moonshine or Tanglefoot to start with. Once you get hooked by the subtle flavours and character of a living beer you'll never drink fizzy Europop again.

I guarantee Blackenstein and his monster will be lager drinkers: One-dimensional, no subtlety, no imagination, too much of it makes you vomit.

I don't fully agree with you Real Football campaign, but on beer, you're spot on!

I only drink lager if I'm in a club or similar with a very limited bar.

Did you go to the Dinner with the world cup players of '66 then Linz?, got a good story to tell you about one of them on Saturday

But Mr Couver... Everyone I know who's been to Canada says the beer is THE single worst thing about the trip. How do you survive?

You get used to it. Luckily there are some really nice micro-breweries near to Vancouver that I can always find something decent to drink. I've found a couple of stores which sell a great range of beers particularly those from Washington State and Oregon just south of us. All that said; I'd kill for a pint of Jaipur or Old Peculier.

 

[shorehamview]

Coors is a beer only as far as elephant piss is a refreshing beverage. I wouldn't want either of them in my fridge.

That's exactly why I end up supping Stella in the Golden Lion. All the bitter is keg pish with as much taste as 'Brentford Nylons' (ask yer Dads), none of the cider has ever been near an apple, and I refuse to pay for canned Guinness.

Basically, if I have to drink crap, it might as well be the strongest crap they have.

Didn't Birch bring these in while at Chelsea?

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

Chelsea have a lot of foreign players but I don’t re-call no Molson Coors.

I drank 4 pints of Hobgoblin last night, followed by a couple bottles of Bishops Finger - my 'ead this morning!.

Back on the old wifebeater tonight.

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

Sorry to dig this up and it's wandered wildly off-topic, but Coors can bugger off if they think I'll be buying bloody "lager for fannies".

Molson Coors to launch 'clear beer for women'

Molson Coors will roll out a clear beer in August as part of its drive to increase the number of women lager drinkers.

The bold strategy caps a flurry of activity by brewers as they seek to grow their market share by drawing in new drinkers to the declining on-trade.

In the coming weeks the Bittersweet Partnership, Molson's business unit set up to run its female-oriented beer activity, will canvass women on a name for the beer.

Marketing understands that the product will be sold in a bottle rather than on draught. A survey of 30,000 female drinkers by the Bittersweet Partner-ship has found that women prefer their drinks in bottles because they offer better protection against having them spiked in bars and pubs.

The product's calorie content will be a key feature of the packaging, as the research identified the perception that beer is calorific as a barrier for women drinkers.

Last year, Molson trialled a clear product flavoured with green tea and dragon fruit that had a similar taste to an alcopop. It is understood that the new product will taste more like a beer.

In a separate development, during National Cask Ale Week, which ran from 29 March to 5 April, brewers, pubs and drinks organisations joined forces to launch a movement called Dea Latis, which aims to ‘bring beer to women'.

The group, named after the Celtic goddess of beer and water, is backed by industry heavyweights including Hein*eken, Wells & Young, Greene King and the Campaign for Real Ale (Camra).

The Dea Latis mission statement says: ‘What unites us is our passion for beer and a belief that it's far too good to
be enjoyed only by men.'

According to the group, in the UK only 13% of beer is drunk by women, a far lower proportion than in the US and most of Europe. It attributes this to misconceptions about beer's calorie content and taste and notes that some women believe it is a ‘man's drink'.

Carlsberg, which is a member of Dea Latis, has made a recent attempt to woo female drinkers, but opted to launch a 100% fruit spritzer drink called Eve instead of a beer. The product, which is 3.1% ABV, will be backed by a £3m campaign created by BEcause featuring Louise Redknapp.

:nono:

I'll be sticking to the proper stuff ta.

obviously the researchers didn't get past birmingham then

 

[Sothall_Blade]

Beer in bottles. Whatever will they think of next?

 

[happyhippy]

3.1%? What's the point? I piss stronger ....
