Higher stout consumption driven by female drinkers

[dad_of_jon]

I'm almost 100% sure that my dad was given a small bottle of Guinness after giving blood in the mid-80s. Might have dreamt it but I'm pretty sure it happened.

That's almost as weird as my dreams. Fortunately I've not drempt about been machingunned at point blank range by german paratroopers from behind my dad's coal shed for a long time.

When I was a kid in the 60's quite few women drank half a Bitter or if they were feeling flush a Mackeson
"It looks good, it tastes good and by heck it does you good"

Wasn’t it Mackeson that tried to spin the idea it was good for pregnancy because of the so called iron in it?

Nah - the concept of "invalid stout" being good for you goes back to the 19th century, before Mackeson invented milk stout just before WWI.

Just stumbled upon this thread. I saw this being sold about a decade ago down south. Think it might only be up norf now. I think it's currently made by Tennets and looks to be marketed towards the ladies.

'In 1990, marketing director Mark Hunter was brought in and carried out research, finding that while 85% felt indifferent about the campaign, 15% of men said keep the cans – but that the models should appear topless.'
Lovely.
