Stella Artois Premium Lager

...old UK we have embraced Stella from Belgium to our bosom… Like most European lagers and pilsners Stella Artois is a basic mix of water, hops and barley…. Sorry? Were you expecting more ingredients? Well I hate to upset but there aren’t! Sorry! No chemicals, no colourings in fact I’d say it’s better than most herbal remedies! (XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) Slanderous joke removed hehehehe. Stella is a fairly strong drink and at 5.2% alcohol by ...
...limit (for the average person), Stella has also been given a bad name – usually from the men – its commonly known as “Wife Beater” as us Brits tend not to be able to drink socially, we go out get pissed have a fight in the street or go home and slap about the other half! (Crass Generalisation I know and I do apologise to the average consumer). Like most European lagers Stella is best drunk out of a smaller glass (330ml) with a thick head and drunk ...

Review of Stella Artois Premium Lager

...all; a few pints of Stella the night before somehow turned that thing lying next to you on the Sunday morning into Kylie and to save face you tell her that the front door is [honestly] damaged, and that she really does have to leave via your bedroom window and slide down the drain pipe. Having said that, a few pints of the stuff the next weekend will result in you finding her even worse mate looking just as ‘beautiful’ come closing time. Any bloke ...
...an alcohol content of 5.2%, Stella Artois is one of the stronger beers on the market, hence the hangover and limited memories from the night before!! Originally designed as a special Christmas brew in 1926, the beer has since become one of the worlds biggest selling beers and is now available in over eighty countries. In almost eighty years of brewing, the beer has always been brewed in the same way; water from the well below the brewery, malt, Bohemian ...

Review of Stella Artois Premium Lager

...to find my little friend Stella Artios ! MMMM ! I bought 4 x 500ml cans in my local Spar for £4.00 which is not bad for quality lager. The can itself is mainly white in colour with a gold and red emblem dispaying the famous words "Stella Artois" on the front. Even though this is branded as "Belgiums original beer," it is actually manufactured in the UK, in Luton. The lager is 5.2% vol, and the can contains 2.6 UK units of alcohol (something that ...
...Unfortunately, a pint of Stella can be a little "flat" as you reach the end. Unlike some other lagers on the market, there is no gadget that enables the lager to keep it's "head" (no jokes please JillMurphy !). As I still have a cold I cannot smell a great deal but I can taste it and by heck does it taste nice ! The lager itself does have a "thick" texture, due to the strength of it, which I like. Other lagers seem like water by comparison. By the ...

...be back, why write about Stella in my time off? Well, last night on the train coming home I had nothing but Stella to drink and I have noticed that although Kronenbourg1664 used to be me favourite, somehow, Stella have crept over and taken over my stomach and head. Us squaddies spend most of our Saturday nights drinking this even when not supposed, but this Jammy guy got a smart little place to keep it ready for us to drink, so providing my Sgt. ...
...enjoyed my first pint of Stella Artois. I’ll talk a little more about that when it comes to taste. But since these I started training hard and drinking slightly heavy on the Stella by tap I’ve found that I enjoy it more and can handle alcohol better too which saves broken tables and lairy fist fights from being on my good night out.

...bars and pop open the Stella Artois. Now why in the heck would the good folks in frozen Caledonia - land of the most excellent malty ales - crack open bottles of foreign fizzy lager. Easy peasy. Due to the outrageous and punitive duties and taxes, there is a thriving market for alcohol and tobacco that has been brought into the country from continental Europe. Therefore, if you know a guy, and everybody does, you can get a case of 2 dozen 330ml bottles ...
...THE BEER ~~~~~~~~ Stella Artois, brewed in Leuven in Belgium in the Bohemian Pilsner style using fine Czech Saaz hops, is very popular in the UK and other Northern European countries. In my view Belgium, a very small country, produces an astonishing variety of great beers. However, whilst Stella Artois is a GOOD beer I would not rate it as among the best that Belgium has to offer. Not even remotely close. Stella compares more favourably to beers ...

Review of Stella Artois Premium Lager

As the adverts state, Stella Artois is reassuringly expensive – and they aren’t wrong there. The whole Stella thing began back in 1717 when the Leuven Brewery in Belgium brewed special ale just for Christmas each year (The star on the logo is a Christmas star, apparently). However people thought that this Christmas lager was something special and so Stella Artois hit the mainstream and is now classed as one of the finest lagers on the globe. How ...
...multipack of Stella bottles, each bottle has a fact about the lager on the label. So you can learn something new, get drunk, then forget it. The ale is 5.2% which is rather strong for a normal lager and if you have a few two many you will be left with one of those hangovers that make you vow to “never drink again.” The taste of the drink is where Stella proves itself. You can taste the quality of the drink as it is crisp, refreshing and has a wonderful ...

...that maybe you should try Stella it sounds cool. That first decision came 4 years ago in a pub that no longer bears the same name, however unlike the pub my drinking habits haven't changed dramatically. One of Belgium's more famous beer exports Stella has been around since 1717 when Sebastian Artois bought the Duchy of Leuven Brewery in Den Horen and originally started brewing Stella. The brewery had been brewing beer since 1366 but really took ...
...edition for Christmas with the Stella star on the bottle to represent the Christmas Star. Of course Stella in Britain is no longer imported from Beligum and has been produced in the Uk since 1926. Of course for anyone that doesn't know Stella is one of the strongest Lager's available on tap in the Uk at 5.2% alcohol content. Personally I do prefer European Lager's to the American stuff and Stella on tap is probably still my favourite although I ...

I do not see what every man is attracted to, it tastes horrible, it’s so heavy, and I just do not understand what it is about beer!!!

...do I happen to have Stella Artois in my house? Well, the only two beers I ever buy to keep at home are Stella Artois and Grolsch. They are the only two which really are my favourites (which prevents me from writing an opinion in the 'My 5 favourite beers' section). So, here's the bit which you could have found out from the UK web site at www.stella-artois.co.uk , but which you are going to find out from me instead; Stella Artois can trace its history ...

So, you can see why, even today, the Stella Artois emblem contains a horn (from the original brewery 'The Horn') and a star (a Christmas Star). Stella Artois was first imported to the UK in 1926 in bottles, and was only available in draught form in the country in 1971. What makes it so special? Well, I haven't got a clue. ...

Review of Stella Artois Premium Lager

Stella Artois has come a long way since the time Sebastien Artois's brewery opened way back in 1717. This beer, brewed in Leuven in Belgium in the Bohemian Pilsner style using fine Czech Saaz hops and I also believe hops from England,is a major beverage export. It has indeed become very popular in UK and other Northern European countries.I fist came across it as a young man on a trip to Ostend and later on visits to Leige, Brussels, Antwerp and Bruges. ...
...variety of great beers. However,whilst Stella Artois is a good beer I would not place Stella Artois as among that country's finest. There are wonderful beers such as Chimay,Orval Trappist Ale, Duvel and Hoegarden produced in Belgium which are no more costly but ,in my opinion,infinitely superior. They are stronger, have a fuller body, and have a crisper,cleaner,nicer aroma. Indeed I would more directly compare Stella with other light beers such as ...

...know will tell you that Stella Artois is little more than an average lager. At RateBeer.com, Stella Artois averages 2.79 (out of 5) based on 271 ratings. In my opinion it’s much better than that. Sometimes we confuse the quality of the moment for the quality of the beer. My job puts me in regular contact with the beer drinking public, and I often hear tales of how great “standard pilsner x” was in some third world country. When it comes to myself ...

...had my first taste of Stella in the pub. The exclamation came not at the taste, but at the price I had to pay for it. Stella Artois is NOT French Beer! It is a beer from Belgium. Although Claiming a history dating back to 1366, this Lueven beer first hit the shelves in 1926 as a Christmas drink. It has grown and become a favourite ever since. It was brewed in the Brewery named ofter its brewmaster, Sebastian Artois in 1717. We have all seen the ...
...so much and realise how expensive it is that they refuse to pay the prices for it and become very selfish about buying/selling it. Well, yes it is a few pence more than its competitors (about 10-25p a pint more) but I feel that it is a small price to pay if you like a nice strong Lager. Firstly, it is stronger in tasting and stronger in alcohol content. Whereas you may be able to drink a few pints of Fosters or Carling, you may not be able to drink ...

Price Now the cost Stella has come down, although the lower alcohol lagers are still cheaper, Stella can be found in many different supermarkets with various offers, BOGOF (buy one get one free) 50% extra free etc etc, basically the humble Stella is now great value as long as you have a look around.

...not enjoy the taste of Stella Artois when it is either at room temperature or even worse warm. To really enjoy this it has to be served chilled. When chilled, the flavour is evident, it has a full bodied taste that is not overpowering (as I have found with some premium lagers), the bubbles tend to stay in suspension in the beer, so when swallowed I feel it bite the back of my throat rather than fill my mouth with gas (as is the case if it is served ...

Those 3 dreaded words "No Stella Left", how do they make you feel? It's not like Im suicidal or anything when I hear these words, however, they do have a strange effect on me. In my local pub we have 3 (draught)lagers to choose from: Carling Fosters Stella Carling and Fosters are the poor relations, The Sun, and Acrington Stanley compared to Stella. Stella is the creme del la creme, the Tiffany of draught lagers, the Manchester United's of ...

The adverts are Belgian (like the beer)and usually constitutes someone going without.
