Stella Artois is garbage - Somehow now StarbucksChat (1 Viewer)

Someone left it in my beer fridge after a party last week. I think I got used as a ####ty beer dumping site. 

 
I like it. :shrug:

Even better with a double Jameson neat, as a deconstructed boilermaker.  Yum...

 
The glasses at bww they serve them in are kinda cool, but yea the beer is pretty bad. Walked out with a couple of those. 

 
I spent a summer in Europe way back (2003 I think) and drank Stella and Kroenenbourg because they were the cheapest beers at most bars.  And I was no beer snob.  Poor college kid.  Came back to SC and not much later Stella started showing up in bars as one of the most expensive beers.  Always made me laugh since people would pay more than craft beers to drink Stella.  It still seems to have a refined rep in the states.  Since I don't drink much anymore I only drink local stuff nowadays because cost of 1-2 beers per month is negligible even for the expensive stuff.  So haven't had a Stella in a long time.  It was a good cheap beer back when I'd drink whatever I could afford.  Never liked it enough to drink it as an expensive beer.

 
I love it honestly. Get it everywhere I go, assuming it's not some premium beer pub kinda thing.

No joke last week I was at a place that didn't have it, so I got what I always got before I got hooked on Stella, a Miller lite. First sip I nearly spit back out. After drinking a lager like that for so long going back to basic p###water beer was an awful experience.

0/10 will not drink again.

 
If you like Belgian, try Gulden Draak

"Gulden Draak has a strong scent of alcohol, which hampers the ability to easily define its aroma."

"Gulden Draak also has a high alcohol content for a beer at 10.5%."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulden_Draak

or Piraat Ale (from the same brewer)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brouwerij_Van_Steenberge

Rochefort (6, 8 & 10, I've had the latter two) is also exceptional.

Rochefort Brewery (Brasserie de Rochefort) is a Belgian brewery which produces three beers designated as Trappist beers. The brewery is associated with the Rochefort Abbey, which originated in the thirteenth century; monks have been brewing beer at Rochefort since the sixteenth century, providing much of the income for the monastery.

If Jules Winnfield thinks it's terrible it must be great IMO.  :shrug:  

If you've seen his movie reviews, you know what I mean.

Anytime you have a pretentious commercial where someone has the beer in a branded glass and cuts the head off with a knife it had better be freaking awesome. It's not and it's overpriced. I laugh inside every time I see someone drinking one.

Much like I laughed at the people who owned V8 gremlins. "It's got a V8!". Yeah, you managed to pay extra but you're still driving a gremlin you moron.

If you like Gulden, I think you'd like Kwak too

I've had Heineken's at the brewery on tap, and they were pretty good. I had just spent the afternoon at the cafes, though, and was heading out to the red light district, so a Busch Light probably would have tasted good.

As a bartender for 25+ years, I have no problem thanking you for your suggestion but please keep in mind we don't carry your Division II hot prospect on tap so telling everyone how great this beer is makes you sound like a tool.

Supposedly these sharp folks on the East Coast have come up with a delivery medium that is going to revolutionize the beer industry.

I think it's called a b..., bo..., BOTTLE, that's it!

You can get them in these newfangled places called liquor stores, they may be coming to a town or city near you soon.

* Sheesh, not like recommending Westy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westvleteren_Brewery

Gulden Draak readily available at BevMo! in CA, which is like the Walmart of booze here (incidentally, you can also procure the slightly less rare Bud, Miller and Coors if that is more your speed).

http://shop.bevmo.com/search?w=gulden%20drak

Same with Piraat

http://shop.bevmo.com/search?w=piraat

And Rochefort

http://shop.bevmo.com/search?w=rochefort

Within a few blocks of here a liquor store stocks them all, and I haven't been by lately, at least not in the past few months, but a neighborhood bar/restaurant used to feature about a dozen Belgian ales on tap (great if you don't want to get called a tool by some snarky, weisenheimer bar keep for asking for an "exotic" beer  :) ). Credit most people with understanding you probably aren't going to find them at an establishment where Michelob is the high end beer available on tap.

It's essentially Belgian Budweiser.   Def not Chimay or Duvel but good for what it is.

Almost all mass marketed beer is garbage. 1 craft beer is better than 6 regular beers any day.

I do like a Miller Lite Alum Bot when I am watching the marlins, makes me feel like I am at the park.

I broke my back and it's awful. L1 (worst), T3, T9. It's been exceedingly painful and I'm in the dark on how to deal. Life-changing.
