Oh yes, my favourite “Quality Belgian Beer” brewed in England along with that “American” beer, Budweiser. Cunts!
Until recently the wife beater beer proudly proclaimed that it was 5% alcohol on it’s cans. Now, in very small letters it has been reduced to 4.80 %. Yeah, and they thought nobody had fucking noticed.
So now I have to consume another 2 or 3 cans before I find the courage to punch a woman in the face!
What a fucking rip off!

Stopped drinking Stella years ago after getting so pissed I couldn’t even unlock my front door.
You can get bottled Leffe in most pubs which is about 6%. There was a pub in Ipswich that had it on draft but I haven’t been there in years. There’s one called Radieuse which is 8-9%. Leffe is about $8 a bottle here even in an off licence so it’s an occasional treat.
Belgium is great for beer. There is a bar in the centre of Bruges that sells about 300 beers, each with its own type of glass. Well worth a visit.
Kronenbourg is also good.

Prague is a piss artist’s dream.

Belgian brewed Stella was nectar, alas now tasteless yank style fizz. My time in East Berlin was bolstered by some of the finest beers in the world, all produced under prewar quality standards and seriously strong and sold by the litre (1.8 pints). All brands a pissos delight but weissbier (made partly from wheat) an acquired taste.
Total sacrilege when The Wall came down and centuries of tradition went bust closing down age old breweries and pubs. Some have been restarted due to popular demand but never the same again.
Some perfect late night reading:

Old East Berliners hate the new vibe:

Thanks for that first link, I’ll remember to click on it again the next time I have a mild hangover and I want my fucking retinas burned out.😵 Whoever picked that atrocious web page background colour scheme needs kerb stomping 🥾

It was a great lager in my youth. Every foreign beer brewed in the uk is shite, it’s pissed about with by fucking accountants until it’s unrecognisable from the original.

Never liked Stella Artois. Recommend Erdinger and Konig Ludwig. Head of Steam and Beer Hawk have some interesting ones.

Sorry to break it to Freddie the Frog you must have got a old batch as they have reduced it even further in October last year to 4.6.

What’s the difference between a lager and a clitoris? A clitoris stops tasting of piss after a few seconds.
Fizzy, chemical shit. I compare lager to cola. How the fuck do people drink pints of gassy shite when there are good quality ales out there.
I love a good stout, Porter or ESB. Often get deliveries direct from the breweries as most supermarket ale is average at best. Fullers do some cracking stronger beers and just had a delivery from Green Jack. They do theirs in 750ml bottles. The Baltic Trader at 10.5% is my favourite of theirs, a good imperial stout.
There is also a local craft beer shop which has some cracking strong stouts as well. I prefer quality (and strength) to quantity these days.

I like local beers on holiday – you wouldnt want British Old Scrotum IPA in Spain but I see that some bars serve piss such as Carling. What is the point of coming abroad to drink British urine?
Stella has lost any taste it ever had. May as well drink Aldi lager at 25p a litre.

I am so fucking fed up with this country and its piss strength lager, you spend about half an hour at the supermarket just oogling through the usual shite, even know that you must have did this 10,000 times but you do it anyway in the hope some kind of beer miracle on par of Fatima.
But alas you hang your head in dismay and grab a case of Kronenberg because its 5% and quite cheap. But as in my case, even this is not enough to get me pissed so i spend more time looking for add ons…..Yeah ive got a fucking drink problem so what?
When are the pubs open?
Sturgeon you Cunt!
