Stella Artois

[British Bulldog]

Stella Artois' off-trade sales are bigger than all ales put together.

Clever marketing for an extremely ordinary beer. When people tell me it's their favourite I tell them that's a bit like saying your favourite food is mashed potato. Nothing really WRONG with it, but why restrict yourself to such dullness?

Mashed Potato Sandwich washed down with a pint of Stella! Mmmmm!

Can you add some brown sauce and a couple of slices of white bread to that meal and you would have blandness at its best.

The last time I knowingly drank Stella was at my 21st birthday bash, it gave me a hang over that lasted a day and a half, for the first 24 hours I was barely capable of meaningful activity at all. Never to be repeated.

i've only ever managed that mixing a bottle and a half of red wine with assorted cocktails.

Guiness is the gear and look what it can do for you!

Stella is vile stuff. As before it is the wife beater drink, ill just enjoy my pints of kronenberg or carling. Not as strong but im far more pleasent when im drunk on either of those.

= Belgian for "piss".

If you go to Belguim and say you like Stella Artois the Belgians stare at you in disbelief. You'll get comments like "We'll piss in the bottle and you can drink that, you won't be able to tell the difference." For them it's cheap crap; the equivalent of us finding foreigners raving over Watney's Red Barrel or our Eurovision song contest entries.

Amazing that it's sold in Britian as some sort of premium product ('Reassuringly expensive'), but then if you drink British-brewed lager you have no sense or taste so it probably doesn't matter to you that all of Europe thinks you're an ignorant slob.

Agree totally, but I managed to say it in three words...

Incidentally, the only defence of Stella in Belgium is that, incredibly, Maes Pils is even worse.
