Well?
picked up a 6 pack of it tonight. never had it. Usually I consider anything I can't get at the gas station to be a craft beer. Had to go to Meijer to grab some food items and saw this there so decided to try it. Not bad |

Man, that butchering of the name. Stella Artois (not Artoys). [friendly ribbing]
I would say no, craft beer should be small-batch. Also craft beer generally is garbage. [drops mic] |
|
NO, it is very much a mass market beer. Some places it is called Wifebeater and it's cheap as hell. That being said, I will drink one from time to time.
|

Mass produced by Bud, full distribution on multiple continents. Gonna have to go with an obvious no.
|
|
Not even a little bit, it's like the Budweiser of Europe. My English friends say it's nicknamed "wifebeater".

Ol' Wifebeater?
No, but it's decent enough. Their cider is great. |
|
NO.
35 no votes 0 yes votes I think this is the biggest poll sample I have ever seen on arfcom that was still unanimous |

Not even close.
As a fan of fine Belgian Ales such as St. Bernardus, A'Chouffe, Kasteel, Orval, Rochefort, etc, I still enjoy a Stella from time to time, solely because they're refreshing. |

No . . . it's okay . . . but is definitely not a "craft beer".
Whatever the hell that is ! ! ! |

I drank a quite a few Stella Darks in Portugal one night
never seen it anywhere else |

The mash is made with upwards of 30% corn, because corn is cheaper than barley....
Makes you feel like this next day: |

It's disgusting skunk beer.
Seriously... green bottle? You put beer in dark glass bottles so they aren't exposed to light. Exposure to light turns beer skunky. Or are there weirdos out there that actually like skunky beer? |

Not bad View Quote Stella is known in the British Army as "Stella I'll twat ya", a play on the Artois part of the name. In other words Stella is a strong beer, the UK soldiers getting tanked and then go home a beat the wife. Personally I like Stella but can't stand those 11oz bottles, |

View Quote If you prefer Ales maybe that's why Stella isn't your thing. I love lagers and pilsners so I love Stella. The green bottle complaint is legit though. I get tradition but man it sucks to buy a 12 pack, open the case, and find out its skunked. Always great on tap though. Lol at the Bud Weiser comments. In bev owned stella and merged with A-B and now imports it to the US. They don't make it. |

A bit of the "ol wife beater"? ( beat by wingnutx)
uh no, not even close to craft. |

It's the natty light of Belgium View Quote my former neighbor was a widely experienced in fine wines, beers, and spirits as part of his profession. he always laughed at the Stella commercials where it was presented as something special. He referred to it as "blue collar swill" or something like that. |

the old original Stella was a pretty good import, drank a lot of it in Europe.
Now its just re-labled budweiser. |
