This comment is way too far down.
~~Beer is for GIRLS~~
Flowers are for men
Or for everyone if you're a woke lib who thinks women can appreciate flowers.
My wife buys me flowers and it makes me feel really special. She doesn't care for flowers at all, but she knows that I do, which makes me appreciate that much more that she'd pick out and pay for something that only I like.
i eat beans i drink beans i chew beans i shit beans. when did we switch to eating flowers?
Also hops contains a powerful phytoestrogen iirc
Explains my moobs.
Funny. But for real, phytoestrogens have really been slandered by masculine culture so afraid of anything femme.
Phytoestrogens, like those found in soy, actually make the body produce less estrogen and tend to help regulate estrogen hormonal production.
It does not just make you more feminine and make it harder to get strong unlike most manosphere peeps believe about "soyboys." I wonder if the phytoestrogens in beer are the same way.
But hops have Alpha acids, which obviously makes you an alpha male. Checkmate atheists.
Where's that banana-dick pastor these days?
Hey, hops seems to have phytoestrgens like soy, so all beerdrinkers are soyboys too, eheh.
Hops have a much more potent phytoestrogen than soy, 8-PN. Both are negligible compared to cows milk though.
My mum still believes that soy milk will make me grow tits because of the big milk propaganda.
Oh wow, this cow milk reference is gold.
You can keep your bread-flavored soda. My water is flavored with ROCKS (minerals added for taste).
I wish it was bread-flavored. Bread doesn't usually taste like bitter herbs.
May I recommend kvass?
Try the Russian bread water (Kwas) in your local eastern European grocer.
fuck that i love rye *downvote*
But rye doesn't have any bitter herbs ...
There's actually so little actual Rye left after distillation that whiskey is gluten free. (Beer is not)

Slightly chilled, bubbly flower water is good, but what about some hot bush water, or hot seed water.
I'll stick my my hot leaf juice
How could a member of my own family say something so horrible?!
I also like to breathe hot leaf aroma, though from a different leaf.
Seems quite a few people really like hot ground up roasted cherry pit water.
I'm pretty sure that's the 'hot seed water', since technically coffee berries are not cherries and the 'bean' isn't a pit, it's a seed.
That could easily be hot chocolate as well. Like how Strawberries aren’t berries, they are still called coffee cherries even though they aren’t.
grass and flower fermented herbal tea
also very closely related to cannabis flowers!
terpene profiles are very similar so you get those "skunky" and "diesel" hoppy beers

I like to call IPAs "potpourri beer".
Thats what I call Blue Moon. That stuff smells/tastes just like the potpourri my mom had when I was a kid.
In the immortal words of Larry Flynt, pink is a real man's favorite color!
Really hamfisting the text into the meme format
This is the worst use of this meme I've seen
The worst use so far
Beer is basically flower juice. Also, I'm still non-binary, I prefer gender-neutral and feminine terms, and I will transition in the future. Seriously!
beer tastes like SHIT tastes like gross ass BREAD water where as BREAD tastes like GOOD as bread BREAD
we only drink spirits in this mfer 
Flavonoids as Phytoestrogenic Components of Hops and Beer https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7570471/
The Effects of the Hops Phytoestrogen in Beer on Breast Cancer Risk https://nutritionfacts.org/blog/the-effects-of-the-hops-phytoestrogen-in-beer-on-breast-cancer-risk/ tl/dr - beer because of the ethanol, and 8-PN from hops, which is a selective estrogen receptor alpha promoter is proliferative on breast cells thus increasing breast cancer risk. And at the same time lowers risk for osteoporosis.
Tho' some sources (https://www.greenskybio.com/hops_extract/37420.html) say 8-PN exists at extremely low concentrations in beer as it is served.
