Are women better beer tasters than men?
Women have been handed a most unlikely victory in the battle of the sexes - and it's enough to make grown men weep.
A new brewery opens in Australia next year and they will be looking for about a dozen professional beer tasters.

Binge drink your way to a bigger beer belly
Drinking a bottle of wine or five pints of beer in an evening instead of over the course of a week gives you a big waist, British researchers say.
They found the pattern of drinking rather than the total amount of alcohol consumed has a greater effect on waist size. Men who binged had a waist size 2.3 inches (6cm) bigger than men who drank the same overall amount of alcohol but spread it out across the week, the study found.
The findings are significant because abdominal fat has been shown to be more dangerous for the heart than fat carried around the bottom and has been linked to diabetes and heart disease.
