These girls are for real

Real women drinking real beer. That's what I like to see. The world needs more of this and fewer "girly beers".




No, your beer goggles are not deceiving you. These really are women supping that traditionally blokey tipple - real ale - at the bar of one of the country’s top real-ale pubs, the White Hart in Shifnal.



And there’s not a flat cap in sight. Apart from the one on the head of the elderly gentleman in the corner, looking on somewhat bemused.



“Mmm. . . it’s nice,” says Emma Hesbrook, 26, from Newport, as she samples a pint of her Hereford Pale Ale.



“To me it’s very similar to lager but more creamy. It’s quite light and sweet - I would definitely have this one again.”



Normally when out on the tiles, Emma’s friend, 19-year-old Kerry Hughes - who also works at Eclipse Hair Studio in Shifnal - would select an alcopop or maybe a vodka. Today she is treating herself to a jar of Exmoor Gold.

"During the conversation the girls agree that pints are okay in the right environment but that they would prefer slightly more dainty glasses."
