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.

And most of that is down to @Hazelwood Brewery wife.

Mrs DOJ enjoys my 'xmas in a glass' darker concoctions in the darker months but turns to the 'dark' side - cider in lighter months.

So is Guinness a stout only by name?

 

[Sadfield]

Great news, but my god, mainstream media beer journalism is bloody awful. So many contradictions cut and pasted together. Sales boosted by nostalgia for modern flavours and 0% stouts, in drinkers with maturing palates looking for sweeter, less bitter beers.

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 is possible you missed this
Well worth a watch.

My gran only ever drank dark beers/stouts...and whisky, but then she was Scottish. Think Robinsons Old Tom was her tipple certainly in winter, but was partial to a Guinness too. She was tough as old boots.

 

[Jim Brewster]

Fascinating really. Is stout sweeter? And would that attract women to drink it?

 

[Beer Elzibub]

Nothing new under the sun. Wasn't Giles’ Grandma partial to a Guinness?

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

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!

I asked the barmaid for a double entendre , so she gave me one

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.
