Do you drink Stella Artois?

[Redway]

Or do you see it as a wife-beater’s drink?

[Benjamin]

If it’s the only thing to drink (which is very rare) I would. It’s not great though.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Love it

[Redway]

Love it

I bet you do.

[Crimson Dynamo]

I bet you do.

Not as deadly as marijuana

[Cherie]

Barf to all lagers

[Redway]

But that’s not true, is it?

[Glenn.]

No it tastes like ****

[Alf]

Had a little spell on it fairly recently, but at the moment I'm on the Budwiesser. Bud and Madri are probably my go to choices of lager right now, don't see me going back to Stella unless it's the best on offer where I am at the time.

[Alf]

Coors is an OK lager, I sometimes go for that.

[bots]

i always found that stella gave me a headache the next day, i don't think it's the purist of beers

Never heard that one, I often buy Mr C a six pack of it, if its on offer, I am still alive and unbeaten

Its an inaccurate, embarrassing sexist meme

Peroni, San Miguel, Moretti, Budweiser, Coors, Heineken, Corona among many many others share the exact same Alcohol content as Stella so will have the exact same effect.

:laugh:

[Gusto Brunt]

I don't, and I don't drink any booze. Haven't for 11 years. :p

Steinhauser Lager from Aldi is 4.7 percent and is brewed to the strict German purity laws

The German Beer Purity Law, known as the Reinheitsgebot, dictates that
German beer can only be brewed using four ingredients: barley, hops, water,
and yeast. This law, established in Bavaria in 1516, has been a cornerstone of
German beer production and is celebrated for its emphasis on quality and
traditional brewing methods.

Where did it originate from? Does anyone know?

[Crimson Dynamo]

Where did it originate from? Does anyone know?

Ages ago (especially in the South) it was one of the strongest lagers you could get by the pint in England so people would drink it to get hammered quickest

something like that

[Redway]

I don't, and I don't drink any booze. Haven't for 11 years. :p

Then this thread’s obviously not for you, no-offence.

[MTVN]

Love a pint of Stella. Comes in a nice chalice as well

It used to be 5.2% which is probably why it became known as wife beater booze but it's only 4.6% now

[Crimson Dynamo]

Dont dick around lads

get this down you

People always say Birra Moretti is, likewise, strong but I just don’t feel that with Moretti. Local Polish shops are there for when I want really strong beer. I could’ve sworn some of them were 12/13% strong. So Moretti is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

It’s a shame too many men who drink can’t be trusted. Because speaking of chalices, there’s this whole thing about beer-mugs (like the tankard) not being allowed to be sold anymore. Just in-case some tapped dude who’s had too many uses the handle to make a mark on someone. Toxic masculinity and the particular flavour of irresponsible drinking that comes from that now influences the type of glasses beer’s allowed to be sold in, and it’s ridiculous.

I drink Stella but I much prefer the unfiltered ones with the green label. It’s 5.0% and tastes like how Stella used to taste years ago before it got weaker. I need to find a pub that sells it on tap.

I’ll drink the original Stella still but only when I’m at a pub and even then it wouldn’t be my first option.

A local near me used to sell Staropramen on tap (side note a pretty decent lager at 5.0%) and it used to come in a tankard so I think some pubs do still use them (depending on what lagers they sell). It’s a shame as they replaced it Cruzcampo not long ago which is an average beer at best and it seems to be everywhere now?

That’s just incorrect. Pubs are allowed to serve in tankards/beer mugs. They’ve become less used in pubs because of several factors but mainly the cost (as they’re not the cheapest option, plus people steal them) and they are not particularly practical for space on shelves or the dishwasher compared to regular pint glasses, which can also be stacked).

Yes it’s my favourite drink! Love a Stella
