Advertising beer in Japan

The best entry yet on What Japan Thinks. Each type of beer has a commercial to go along with it. Really awesome old commercials on there. One almost made me cry (the penguin one).

While watching these ads I realised it's really strange for me to see women drinking beer in commercials and particularly when dressed elegantly (or in the act of getting dressed - seriously, she can't wait till she gets to the function? lol)

In Australia beer is a very manly, very blokey, pub/down to earth thing which is not really associated with women in advertising at all. When they brought out the low carb beers they tried a couple of ads aimed at women but they didn't work at all because the main beer market (men) didn't want to be seen drinking a girly beer. Not sure if it managed to lose the stigma and take off with the metro crowd... I only know this from following advertising news lol
