horribleblob 212 #3 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Rockers rule 673 #7 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 . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jack Grey 1,602 #8 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 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
