Stella Artois

Pros: Strong, tasty, refreshing, A good tv beer.
Cons: May be too strong for some

Stella, a stronghold of lager making. This is a favourtite in Britain. If you want something with more kick [ and taste ] that any 4.9 to 5.0% beer try this. I'm pretty sure its 5.5% alcohol, and boy, that little difference does a world of good. I ...

Pros: Fair price Delicious by the Pint
Cons: The bottled product leaves a lot to be desired (taste)

At less than $8.00 a six pack, Stella is a good value for European beer lovers. I first experienced Stella while on business in Boston several years ago but have recently seen an explosion in the popularity of the brew. When possible I recommend buying ...

Pros: It's drinkable by a wide range of beer drinkers.
Cons: Seems to be brewed with the lowest common denominator in mind.

Stella Atrois

Stella Artois is supposedly the best selling beer in Belgium. I found it to be disappointing. It is unlike any Belgium style beer I've ever tasted. It is not at all like the beers Belgium has become famous for recently.

Pros: Clean pilsner beer
Cons: Difficult to find in the US

Stella Artois is brewed in Leuven, Belgium and is owned by the mega Interbrew brewing conglomerate. It is readily accessible throughout Europe but is hard to find here in the States. Stella is probably the most popular variety of Pilsner beer in...

Pros: a decent, but not excellent, flavor
Cons: more preservatives than beer

In France, I'm told Stella is a swear word, and I can well believe it. The tase is OK, but it's packed full of chemicals and preservatives to increase its shelf life and this has to be a major strike against it. I drink in a few pubs because it's about...

Pros: Better tasting Pilsner than most
Cons: Very difficult to find in the US

While studying abroad in Leuven, Belgium, home of the Stella brewery, this very crisp and slightly bitter beer became our most frequented drink out in the bars. Slated as the Bud of Belgium, it was the least expensive and most readily available of all...

Pros: great taste, low price, wide availability
Cons: still not as good as German pilseners

Stella Artois is perhaps one of Belgium's best beers, far superior to the awful Duval and Chimay. Living in Australia, Stella is emerging as an increasingly popular pilsener, available in nearly all bottle shops and appearing on tap in more and more...

Pros: better than your average US mass market beer
Cons: there are MUCH better Belgian beers for the same price

I lived in Belgium for about a year and Stella (along with it's cousin Juplier) are prevalent there the way Bud and Miller are all over the place in the US. While over there it is an okay beer at a reasonable price, over here I think it is very...

Pros: The Cans make good footballs
Cons: They hurt almost as the beer if they hit you

This beer is by far an example of what you can and indeed cannot get away with in a lager. What most people look for is a drink with a robust and refreshing flavour, that requires nothing else. You want to be able to walk into a pub or bar, or indeed uy...

Pros: Relaxing beer after a hard day's work
Cons: Don't drink warm!

Whilst living in Belgium (84-87) I was introduced to this fine beer sitting outside of restaurants under an umbrella. This beer is a fine beer that must be drank while relaxing and there is no rush to do something immediately thereafter. It has a very...

Pros: better than MGD
Cons: not satisfying

I love Belgian beers. Belgium is home to the most astounding variety of styles and tastes available in the wide and wonderful world of beer. Stella however is not much better than the bland industrial swill that Americans have drinking for years. The...

Pros: Clean taste, refreshing
Cons: expensive

Stella Artois has a reputation for being expensive. However it's a good larger, and you get what you pay for in my eyes. I haven't come across a larger more refreshing in my life, however its is relitively strong at 5.2%. I disagree when people say that...

Pros: Strong and refreshing
Cons: a little expensive

Stella Artois is a strong and full-bodied lager. Originating in Belgium it has become one of the most popular drinks in Northern Europe. It has a distinct flavor that is unlike the flavors of most domestic beers. It is a clear and golden pilsner that can...

Pros: Clean, crisp taste. Very refreshing.
Cons: Price (especially in my area).

I've been a fan of Stella for years now, ever since I tried it in London, England probably 5 years ago. It's always been that ONE beer I know I could go to if there was nothing else available.

It's a great light pilsner with a great taste....

Pros: You look cool drinking it
Cons: It tastes like skunking Rolling Rock

It's very difficult to get respect when you are an American in Europe. For that very reason do I encourage the imbibement of Stella Artois.

You see, they say 'when in Rome, do as the Romans' but this might be a bit of a fallacy. I maintain...
