    Reassuringly expensive

    Do you remember when Stella Artois was advertised with the slogan "Reassuringly expensive"? I've just been down to Morrisons and they have 3 x 15 bottles x 284ml for £18, making it 80p for a pint of Stella. How reassuringly expensive is that?

    Been that price for nearly two weeks & offer finishes 31.10.10 :drunken: :drunken: :drunken:
    It's never been the same to drink since it's been brewed in England.
    Doesn't stop me drinking it though :shaking2: :shaking2: :shaking2:

    Holsten Pils used to be a 'premium' brand as well; now it's a budget brand.

    I once managed seven pints of wife beater on a night out when I was young and fit. I'm more of a real ale and red wine drinker now :drunken:

    If you are lucky enough to live in South Yorkshire you can buy Stella brewed in the correct place from Rhythm & Booze.
