ode to beer

[rone]

The Sumerians had a goddess of beer, Ninkasi. They even wrote a hymn to Ninkasi. That's just plain cool. Someone should set it to music.

The CAMRA had (has?) a big campaign centered around Ninkasi. Ninkasi as portrayed by a model in spandex, in poses most appropriate to the cover of FHM or other ladmags. Attributing her purpoted hotness to beer.

This was meant to be the campaign to *draw women into CAMRA*.

It didn't help that they were suggesting "beers for women," which were invariably light and candylike sorts of things. Beh.
