I don't understand why people drink Stella.
Is it just the macho stigma associated with it?
It tastes horrendous.

Give me a nice pint of Skol any day.

Oh, TheColonel.
Thank heavens you're joking about the Skol.

There are worse lagers than Stella - Red Stripe, for example, is barely even a beer. It's a repulsive chemical approximation of it. Foul.

Seriously though, a local discotheque sells this by the can.
And the droves of plebeians guzzle it down.

Ugh.

Ugh,
They should stick to marijuana production and jerk spice rubs.

Clubs are the only place I've ever seen it sold I think.
I used to drink it at whatever that all night Indie club in the LA2 was called as it was the cheapest beer they sold.

And, frankly, I was never that fussy about what I drank anyway.

I used to love Red Stripe.
No surprises there then.

this is not a defence
There are also many many better beers
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Fri 16 Dec 2011, 9:22, Reply)

There are indeed
but at least Stella is a clean, properly-brewed beer. Its loutish reputation is a little unfair.

Those of us of a, err, certain age will remember their old ad slogan 'reassuringly expensive'.

I'm not a lagar man as a rule, so what lagar I drink I am picky about. Peroni I like and Moretti ans Staropramen, 'scuse spellin, on my phone
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Fri 16 Dec 2011, 9:32, Reply)

Staropramen I find to be a bit too dark and smelly, same with Kronenbourg.
Peroni is great, I also love Asahi but Kirin Ichiban is the best lager I've ever had.

I do like a brown beer or two in winter, but on a hot summer's day I do love a chilled lager.

I used to think that about beer on a summer's day
But then I discovered golden ales (such as this beauty: www.williamsbrosbrew.com/contemporaryales.php?id=38#top), and no longer subject myself to that gassy misery.

I mostly drink brown beer, but on a hot day I'll drink Lager.
( CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Fri 16 Dec 2011, 9:39, Reply)

And this is in reverse, how?

he drinks lager, but with the occasional brown beer when it's cold
I drink brown beer but with the occasional lager when it's hot. Do keep up.

So you both drink beer and enjoy lager on a hot day
