70% of Italian women drink beer, and for many of them consumption is increasing – they like more and more artisans, among other things. Without taking anything away from the wine, the local pride that now is also drunk with pizza – once combined by default beer, the latter meets the taste and intrigues most of the ladies and gentlemen tricolori.
The has revealed it search "The Italians and beer", commissioned by AssoBirra and launched on the occasion of the Women's Day, 8 March. Which usually becomes moment of "girls" sharing: and it is precisely the sharing factor – "it is a drink that unites" – one of the most cited reasons in explaining the choice of this alcoholic (37% of the interviewees). Other reasons are the possibility of combining with food (48%) – and over a third of the drinkers in this regard would like to know more – and then the tasteof course, which is the main reason (58%). Someone may choose it to rehydrate after a sports training, given that according to a scientific research a few years ago (which we are sure many medical experts would dispute), a beer after training is good …
