Belly Up to the Bar, Ladies, For a Wee Pint

Hot on the heels of Sunday Beer Blogging here at Kiko's House comes news that Camra, or the Campaign For Real Ale in the U.K., is planning to lure women into drinking that most masculine of beverages, the pint of ale.

How? Through the use of "stylish" glassware.

Reports the Guardian News Blog:
"At the Great British Beer Festival this week ladies, and gents if they so choose, will be able to sup their ales from dainty stemmed third of pint glasses. . . . the receptacle was trialed last year, but now all beers will be available in so-called 'nips.' ("Is the whole pint then a 'boob'?" asks one witty blogger."
