the problem i have with stella is that it skunks way to easy. i like it when its not skunked but like 70% of the places i have ever got it it has been skunked.

I used to work in Belgium. Stella Artois is the Belgian Budweiser. There are 50 beers made in Belgium that are much better quality and Belgians sneer at Stella the way Australians sneer at Fosters. It's something the Americans drink.

Even though you are an expert on Belgium beer cause you use to work there I think I'll keep likin Stella anyway. If that's ok.

Yeah, I agree with that. I pretty much like draft better then any bottle or can. I like the Stella glass you get when you get draft too. Just feels good I guess.

Which bar? Was it perhaps Pyramid or Big Time (the beer that is).

Stone cold sober on the mountain. But after:

Long Trail
Tuckerman Pale Ale or Headwall Alt
Sam Adams
Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA (when available)

If you like the 90 minute, you should try a Wailing Wench. The beer, not the woman. although the woman looks pretty good too.

Hibernator! Switchback! Loose Cannon Ale.

people shouldnt drink. its not good for you and it makes you act like a fool.

one should not tell what other people should do or not.

if beer is not good for You and makes You act like a fool, then make Your choice for Yourself.

Terribly....it's a wonder why they stopped it.

On a positive note though, Roxy Rolles should be out in about a month. I still have one mulling about in my fridge that I've been setting aside knowing it would be a while before it was back out. Looks like I can finally drink it soon. I love that beer. Also wishing they made H.ipa a year-round. It's fine going from the Rolles to the H.ipa, but then....well, I like Pocus, but not as in love with it as I am the other two.
