And that's why, when I take a bottle out my fridge at home, it tastes of relaxation rather than maize.<br /><br />- well said, Barm. I drink in a pub that serves John Smith's Extra Smooth, Carling, Peroni and Magic Rock High Wire on four fonts. We all drink different. What do we talk about? Football, sex, work, DIY etc. It's only beer geeks in beer geek pubs that want to talk about beer.

The other night I was in a bar while a "craft beer" enthusiast moaned what a pity it was that the place sold Tennent's.

Are we being unfair in writing Stella off as nasty? That's certainly been our experience of it to date, but do you think we should give it another try?Baileyhttp://boakandbailey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4108264242738379237.post-13608063673257889812012-04-16T23:49:49.495+01:002012-04-16T23:49:49.495+01:00More to the point did you notice the change when t...More to the point did you notice the change when they took out the hops and dropped it to 5%?<br /><br />I used to love Stella, find it a bit Meh now.
