Wow. Stella is a primo beer? I always considered it a pretty pedestrian Belgian. Or is that the joke?

To the type of person that the meme is talking about it is. To everyone else it's just another cheap larger.

Colloquially known as a 'can of wife beater'

It's a can of shite. Only slightly better than Carling.

I tried one a while back after not having one for years. Tasted like cheap bread yeast and nothing else.

Definitely not a fan of Stella

In the USA it seems to be perceived as a fancy import rather than just a Belgian Budweiser. Maybe some Brits also have this confusion

Some bars in the US make a VERY BIG DEAL over any import no matter how shitty the actual beer is. And of course they charge more for imports too.

Just found out that it's now fully and only manufactured in the US LOLOL
