Is Ruth Powers not a woman?

Thus a blatant pandering "lady-beer" would be irrelevant to her.

But wouldn't that leave out Luann and Mindy, too? They both spend a lot of time at Moe's...

Maybe, but they don't have the same, "one of the guys" vibe. I could see Luann and Mindy going into a bar and ordering a Cosmo or other girly drink. Not so much with Ruth. The basic idea of "Lady-Beer" is like painting a toy car pink and saying it's "for girls." Doesn't apply for girls who already like cars.

Anyway, it still might have just been a mistake on their part, but it was my first thought when I couldn't send her, and fits her character.
