Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Once upon a time not so long ago, the word "beer" prompted mental images of frat boys chugging Miller Lites. It did not, traditionally, scream "mother."
But times, they are a-changin', and more and more women are drinking beer these days. And despite the lingering stereotype of a "mom drink" as a chilled glass of chardonnay (not that there's anything wrong with that), some moms are definitely sipping suds. Heck, Carol Stoudt, mother of five, has adopted the moniker of "Queen of Hops" since opening Stoudt's Brewing with her hubby in 1987.
Asked about the perfect Mother's Day brew, Matt Barclay of Brooklyn (N.Y.)'s Bierkraft says, "most of our women customers drink the Belgian Tripel [style]." With fruit and candy flavors, Tripels can be sweet but also incredibly complex. If mom is a fan of sweet wines or desserts, try pouring her a Belgian ale after dinner, like an aromatic raspberry Lindemans Framboise lambic. If she's a chocolate freak, proffer a Chocolate Stout.
Or maybe your mom does sling back Miller Lite with the best of them. School us! Does your ma drink beer? What's her favorite brew? (Moms, don't feel shy about speaking out on your behalf!)

My MOM drinks Black Butte Porter. She's serious.

I have been told numerous stories of how her grandma and best friend would get a case of beer to drink while singing songs around the piano! I am not a choosy beer drinker. I believe there is a time an place for everything. I love, however, drinking the local brews, whether that means in my hometown or where I am visiting.

But I always order something light and non-bitter like Blue Moon. My friend says it's sort of the beer equivalent of white zinfandel, but you have to start somewhere.
