"Another industry is becoming more inclusive to women because it seems we are better at the job than men. And surprisingly, it&amp;#039;s a very manly-ish sounding job. No, it&amp;#039;s not couch testing. And it&amp;#039;s not as sports watching experts, it&amp;#039;s beer tasting! According to sources at SABMiller PLC, which makes Pilsner Urquell, Peroni and Grolsch in addition to Miller and Coors brands, women now make up 30 percent of their 1,000 advanced beer tasters, which is four times what it was ten years ago, even though men account for 72.8 percent of the world&amp;#039;s beer sales. &amp;quot;Females are the superior sex when it comes to detecting such undesirable chemicals as 3-methyl-2-butene-1-thiol, which makes beer &amp;quot;skunky.&amp;quot; Tasters also help brewers decide how long their beers will stay fresh on store shelves, and what new products to introduce,&amp;quot; the Wall Street Journal said. So basically, as I said, girls rule and boys drool. No, I&amp;#039;m kidding. Well, sort of. But it does seem that while men may be better at the big picture, women dominate when it comes to detail-oriented jobs.  Whether it&amp;#039;s part of our evolutionary genetics (&amp;quot;Me hunt big game. You pick berries that aren&amp;#039;t poisonous) or its how we have been socialized, I have heard men often say &amp;quot;we&amp;#039;re big picture.&amp;quot; And while I do think sometimes that&amp;#039;s just an excuse by men who don&amp;#039;t want to deal with the minutiae of small, but important tasks, this is certainly anecdotal evidence. And good for us! Besides that it&amp;#039;s a pretty cool job opening up to women, it&amp;#039;s also great to see a big corporation recognize how much women have to offer. It also makes me want a cold beer. It&amp;#039;s in the 90s (again) here in New York. If you&amp;#039;re a beer fan, read &amp;quot;Get Cooking With Beer&amp;quot; for some great tips and tricks.  - Alexandra Gekas, Associate Editor "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
