horribleblob Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I can remember when Stella Artois was considered a fashionable and manly drink. [Advertising slogan: "Stella's for the fellas" – cf Yorkie bars.] I also remember when prawn cocktails and Harvey Wallbangers were considered to be the height of sophistication. We consumers don't half fall for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockers rule Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 When it was good it was good, but by the time I stopped drinking in 2005 it was pretty bland. Compared to Carlsberg special brew & White lightning snakebites it was phish 🧐🤣 Keep safe and drink responsibly . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Grey Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Wasnt Stella 6% about 20 years ago? If you want a proper lager with a bit of flavour then i recommend the 'Debowe Polish Lager' at 7% You can get it from a few Polish shops on London Road 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly every bottle or can or pint with a foreign name is brewed in the UK almost all of the following: Budweiser, Beck's, Corona,Leffe, Hoegoarden, Busch Beer, Landshark, Michelob, Michelob, in Newport Caffreys, Cobra, Coors, Molson Canadian, Pravha and Staropramen are made in Burton on Trent So assume every beer is brewed in the UK unless it specifically says otherwise on the contents label For wine drinkers some former Californian wines are now Spanish or Italian eg Blossom Hill Soft and Fruity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
