I love brew!
I went to one of the local beverage stores and asked if they had Stella Artois. The man said yes and showed me several six packs on the shelf. I remember seeing on line a twelve pack for $39.00. So, being to cheap to waste a lot of buck on a brew that some of you claimed was horrible, I asked if I could buy just one bottle. He then showed me a line of singles on the shelf above. I grabbed one and to my surprise the price was only $1.59. A lot better than I expected.
When I got home I stuck the bottle in the freezer for about a half an hour. Stella's site recommended serving at 6 to 8 degrees C. After the pizza I ordered arrived, I brought out the Stella, popped the top and poured per the website's directions. There is a special procedure for pouring, you know. It had the distinct skunky smell of many ales and pilsners. It took some getting used to but after a couple of swallows, I began to detect a rich flavor. It has a slight bitter bite as do most Euro beers.
The dogfight commercial was great and the beer not bad. I might go back and buy a six pack next time.
Salute!
