(Though: I do think beer drinking trends masculine.)
As an aside, these sorts of critiques of mainstream/White culture are somewhat contradictory in that they criticize any specific cultural identity as being exclusive and insular, and yet whenever this is lacking, they point to how boring mainstream/White culture is. Even lack of crime can be turned into evidence of boringness. For example, for every article on the negative effect of nerd culture on diversity, there is an article complaining about the decline of nerd culture and the rise of corporatism. The latter tend to be highly revisionist and pretend that the tech industry was founded by LSD taking hippies who coded inside isolation tanks. But the contradiction is still stark.
Maybe after the beer offsite, you can visit a winery, or a famous local coffee house, and then a museum.
It's not exactly the most interactive activity when you can't talk for 80% of the time, but it's still enjoyable and sociable.
