Does anyone else share my passion for Stella Artois??

I knows it's not the best beer, I know it's probs not something to have with fine dining. I know it's no good for me. I know it send some people mad.

But every sip I take tastes like the lining of the clouds of heaven.
It's ok on tap and better in bottle but...
For me it's got to be in pint cans, served at very cool fridge temp. Just above freezing.

No fine wine of exotic beer can beat it.

I'm in love. Even have a dog named Stella. I'm not remotely chavtastic either, apart from my addiction to Stella.

My favourite beer or lager... So crisp and refreshing ( not in the I need a drink way ) .

I must say that it tastes better out of a can aswell. Only because Stella needs to be ice cold and the draught ones aren't normally. I've never been a fan of bottled lager.. I do like a good bottled beer though ( tag lag )

At 5.2% Sublime

At 5.0% Still very good

At 4.8% It tastes like a ste imitation if its former self.

As I am for you, what with your inability to walk past a take away establishment.

Ooh, I've found my favorite thread!

Me!
I'm a Stella Artois fiend.

We only have 5.2% available for sale here, but not at all in pubs, so I enjoy ice cold 500ml cans in my Chalice glass at home. smile
Even my buddies I go to Le Mans with insist I take a slab of 500ml cans for the rest of the 'SAS' - that's the 'Stella Appreciation Society'.

Does anybody know if I can buy some 5.2% stuff here in the uk? A website that imports perhaps?

Yup, as said by others, out the bottle its wonderful. I'd having that if I only had one beer. Cans and on tap is disgusting, I now understand why some pubs and restaurants sell it as bottles. Could really do with a crate of stella now that the weather's good.

This precisely. After many years of dedication I took one sip of the "new" Stella a year or two ago without knowing they'd dropped the ABV again. Didn't even finish the bottle and haven't touched a drop since. Their loss.

Peroni is now the belly supplement of choice. Almost as good as Stella used to be.

As a larger drinker Stella tends to be an aggressive beer, shouty and obnoxious.
I love Bud much more sedate and refined. From the tap it's cloud9

And I have some now.

Just shows how taste vary, bud is one of the only lagers I can't drink. I really dislike it. I could quite easily become T-total if Bud was the only beer option!

Agreed,Stella was all crisp n punchy where as bud in the uk just tastes wrong to me.
Lovely in the states tho.

Totally agree. I think Bud is the only beer I really don't like. It tastes too smooth for me. I do know plenty of people who love it though.

The strongest thing about Budweiser is the glue that holds the labels on.
America can keep it's pissy, tasteless, lightweight, watered down lager.
