BEER FOR CHICKS:www.beerforchicks.com
This is where it all started for us. Seeing that there was a definite lack but want of beer knowledge among her fellow home girls, Christina started this website as a female-friendly place where women could come for some good beer news, knowledge, and reviews, and a little social networking. BTW, it’s not just for chicks; her membership is 50/50 men and women.
