When Triple J announced their Hottest 100 Songs of all time in July 2009 over half a million votes were cast and 13,000 songs were nominated - one of the largest radio surveys ever conducted. Eyebrows were raised when not one female artist or woman-fronted band made the list.
We felt that women had been overlooked. What happened to Blondie, Tina Turner, Madonna? It is the legacy of female artists that has inspired the Hummingbird100. We wanted to give you - men and women alike - a place to, in the words of the great Aretha Franklin, show a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T to your favourite female artists.
Much like we are addressing an oversight of female artists, we are also addressing an oversight for female drinkers by bringing you a light refreshing beer created especially for women - Hummingbird Blonde Lager. Australian women drink over 44 million cases of beer a year but there wasn't one beer made especially for them. Lower in carbohydrates, a smaller 275mL bottle, light and fresh tasting with a hint of citrus -Hummingbird Blonde Lager by Cruiser is something for the girls to enjoy.
