To clarify, stella in cans is sold in two varieties. Those imported (embossed can) and those brewed here (smooth can). They are different percentages and in essence different beers. Avoid the smooth cans as they are not good.

believe me people. if you all nip to iceland, look in the beer section. you'll see! you'll see i tells yer!!

It's a creeping low alcohol disease. I used to love a bit of Old Speckled Hen and then they suddenly dropped it from 5.2 to 4.5 ABV. Cheeky barstewards didn't charge me any less for the weaker brew! Just say no.

made a pilgramage to asde to check on the alcohol levels and the ones there are of the 5.2 variety,i came home pleased

Interest rates are falling and there's a recession on. That's why, its gone down 0.2%. If there's a late rush on sales and consmer confidence is high, it'll come back up in the morning.

Had some 5.0 last weekend, was not impressed. When we played Soton the last time at St Mary's I had 2 pint cans of Stella from a local shop which were 5.1% (2005?). Stella in pubs has not been as strong as in cans for years, the odd pub has ABV 5.0 on the wall, and has done for a while.

Sainsburys have 24x440 mls for £11.99 (5.2 abv)
Enjoy

corkys right, years ago when i was a lad stella was brought over by the tanker load, now its brewed over here...there is a difference in the cans and thats got something to do with where they buy their stock from...i e over here..or from a supplier over there...next time you go abroad look in the duty free shops that is always 5.2%..

In my experience... this is as bad as Stella, (If you're looking for an alternative)

nice drop is kronnie,have you tried the "blanc" version not too bad but a little too sweet to have more than 8

 

[Pearcey]

Yeah, I tried it on holiday... not my thing tbh... I had a really bad night on Hoegaarden, and now I can't touch the stuff.

They used to have Normal Kronie on draught at my local... draught it's far nicer (and more of a loopy juice) than Stella.
