Beer Edition: Ranking local beer packaging

Adah McMillan, Collegian Columnist April 11, 2022
There’s a lot of variety when it comes to beer, especially in Fort Collins, where we have over 20 breweries.

I’ve examined the options at 20 Fort Collins breweries to find the best beer packaging in the area. I’m a perfectly unbiased judge of packaging because I have never had a beer in my life and don’t ever intend to. My opinions are unfettered by any knowledge about beer.

Beer Edition: Beer isn’t just for men, so why do advertisers market it that way?

Dominique Lopez, Collegian Columnist April 11, 2022
Created over 5,000 years ago through the process of fermentation, beer has been perceived as a man’s beverage. However, fermented beverages, which for so long have been marketed toward men, were actually created by women 9,000 years ago. Women during the early ages were always seen as belonging in the kitchen, meaning women were actually the first to brew beer, not men. Why is this the case, though? Why has beer been perceived as masculine rather than something to be consumed by anyone, no matter their gender?
