I love Stella Artois, I'm a lager drinker primarily and unashamedly.

No micro really gets lager very good.

The Five Lamps is an alright example, but in totality they are crap and done with the wrong (i.e. local) hops and this just doesn't work for me.

I am not such a fan of hopped up IPA's, I like session beers and find I can't skull a "rake" of pints of some craft brew where I could do this with Stella.

My beer quality test is to get pissed on it and then see how my head is the next day, so far, Stella wins every time.

I dislike a lot of macros due to their sly tactics as it really is all about money for them.

That's a bit of a cheesy reply.

That was the main ad I remember from my childhood, it had particular poignancy as my da was working in Saudi Arabia at the time, we always joked about frying eggs on rocks.

Are Irish micros making lagers with local hops though?  Have you tried the Lidl Crafty Lager? It's a gem.  Five Lamps are owned by C&C (owners of Bulmers).

It's a good 'un alright. I remember it well.

I liked the "packet of dates" one aswell..

Another vote for stella from me. A well made beer, cursed with a diabolical reputation.

I never thought that I'd ever be defending Heineken or Corona but it should be corrected that they don't use preservatives. The Heineken use a special hop product which is not light sensitive, these hops are extremely expensive and Corona stick a slice of lime in the bottle to cover up the skunk flavour 😆

I can confirm that Heineken use Tetra-hop. I have seen the pallets of empty containers at the brewery.
Earlier on the tour we were shown jars of malt and hops I opened the jar of whole leaf hops to take a smell. The feckin things were plastic stunt hops.

So no preservatives or optical brighteners then, amazing how they can get such a long shelf life out of the product
