Women I’d Love to Have a Beer With

By Kristy | Posted: December 21, 2009

Image via Genealogy Photos When women meet up, it’s very rare that they meet up for a pint. Sure, I do this with some of my girlfriends, but the majority of the female population meet and bond over bottles of red, mojitos or cappuccinos.

Men are always saying “let’s go for a pint” and “we should do beers soon” and so that got me thinking that there are actually a good number of women that I would love to sit down and have a pint with.

I can picture us, sitting there, in a warm and cozy “old man pub” over our ales and girly banter. It sounds lovely, doesn’t it?

So, who are the five women I’d love to meet for a pint?

Sarah Palin
Mind you, I might have to storm out at some point, but I’d really love to see what she’s like over a bottle of, say, Brew Dog’s Trashy Blonde. What would she talk about if I said politics were off limits? Would we discuss hunting? Hockey? Maybe we would bond over something unexpected like how useful Spanx are. The possibilities are endless. (As well as highly unlikely.)

Catherine Tate
She’s absolutely insane, so I imagine meeting up for a beer would be quite an experience, indeed. She seems like such a fascinating person with so many different experiences (“So, you’ve technically snogged David Tennant… how was that?”) and I’d think she’d be a blast to sit with over a couple pints of Oranjeboom. Maybe by the second round she’d start talking in her different character’s voices. Oh to dream.

Anna Wintour
Admittedly we would just be sitting in silence as she surely would refuse to answer any of my questions or to make small talk with such a peon as myself. However, if she were to talk, and if I could manage to get her to drink some Kasteel Cru, I’m sure she’d be absolutely fascinating to talk to. Would she be able to talk about anything other than fashion? Would she drink the entire beer? How many times would she check her Blackberry throughout the conversation? Tis a mystery!

Sonya Walger
Perhaps best known as “the wife in FlashForward” or “Penny from Lost”, Sonya has the most amazing eyes and facial expressions on primetime TV. Ever. A British girl who married an American and now lives in LA, I’d love to buy her a pint of Guinness and hear all about what it’s like to star in two of the most insane television shows ever created. Then I might drill her for whatever secrets she knows, but that’s beside the point. Guinness and Walger sounds like a fun night out. Plus, she might even tell me how she gets her hair so shiny.

Lady GaGa
Yes, this seems like a very obvious answer, but can you imagine the one and only GaGa in a pub with a pint of Belle-Vue in hand? Would she be in “GaGa” character, or would I get to talk to her as just Stephanie? Would she break out into song? Would she be wearing pants? WHO KNOWS. A pint with GaGa would surreal and amazing on so many levels. Eccentricity goes well with ale, so imagine there would be plenty of things to talk about. Plus, I might even buy her some nachos to see if she’d stick around longer than just a pint.
