Bitches' Brew

Screw Sex and the City. Those ladies shelling out 20-dollar bills for a watered-down cosmo wouldn’t know a real drink if it splattered all over their precious Manolo Blahniks. Your appletini might match your designer handbag, but it won’t satisfy your carb-craving taste buds. Carrie Bradshaws of the world, it’s...

Screw Sex and the City. Those ladies shelling out 20-dollar bills for a watered-down cosmo wouldn’t know a real drink if it splattered all over their precious Manolo Blahniks. Your appletini might match your designer handbag, but it won’t satisfy your carb-craving taste buds. Carrie Bradshaws of the world, it’s time to wake up and smell the hops. Luckily, the Filling Station & Garage Bar (95 SE Second St., Miami) is recruiting ladies who love lagers for its Barley’s Angels beer club. Every Monday night, beer-swilling babes will converge on the bar to learn a few tasting tips from guest brewers and sample the best of the latest microbrews. Members can swill from their own personal mugs, enjoy $2 pints on selected craft brews, and announce their beer-goddess status via a group member T-shirt. And you don’t need to be on a Manhattan budget to get in; membership costs just $25 per year. That’s less than 50 cents a week, assuming you want to drink beer with a bunch of rowdy women weekly. And we’re pretty sure that’s a safe assumption.
