I have a buddy who visited Belgium for several months who was disappointed to find Stella Artois was very prevalent where he went. I've had Stella enough that I feel pretty certain in my personal opinion about it (that its a disappointingly skunky and overall low flavor, bud light-tasting beer). So I'm curious, does shipping Stella here cause it to get extra skunky, do we get the shit batches stateside, did my buddy only visit bars for yuppies/tourists that drink what tastes like what bud light knocked off? I mean, the only upsides I've seen to Stella is that its a little bit cooler and -slightly- better tasting than bud light which still remains miles ahead of the some of the worst beers on the American market (namely a shitty local grocery store's offbrand shit 'microbrew' and hamm's [shudders]).
You're not wrong. They have a lager and a cider.

Ah, okay. I've had the cider before and I guess I assumed that's all they made.

I'm not a big fan of cider, but the Stella cider is one of two that I will drink. The other is Merrydown, I would recommend trying it if you ever come across it.

Huh... I always thought Stella was a hard cider. Today I learned I suppose.
