Question:

Is Stella Artois the new drink of the English working classes ?


Answers:
What I do know about Stella Artois is they are conducting one major ad campaign that is creative and funny and creating a lot of name recognition for themselves. Brilliant marketing...

As long as it's served in pitchers
with ice cold mugs!!!!

Stella Artois rules. Now I'm gonna beat my wife. LOL

I don't know, it all depends on the guy. I'm working class, and i enjoy Guinness.

Yes. But its dangerously strong.
Should be enjoyed in moderation not 10 pint sessions.

well it used to be beudweiser now its stella..... in my opinion people who ave gone from fosters or carling to stella after one or two pints want to fight the world

OLD BLUE, your question reeks of snobishness, English working classes???? do you think we are still in the 19th century?

Stella Artois is a beer which is available around the world,

It always has been hasn't it? or it seems that way to me in my 21 years of existence at least!

WORKING CLASSES , your abit behind the times, if it not beer (bitter ) its not a drink, and i don't mean larger thats for boys learning to drink

Don't you all drink champers, darling?

To give a complete answer to this question you must break down the English working class into two prevalent descriptions. The first is the traditional label of those who must work in order to receive an income and for whom work is not within one of the professions. The second is the modern reality of the working class which matches the original socioeconomical demographic - that today the English working class consists of those for whom working yields a rate of pay not more than 50% above the minimum wage.

For the first group, you are wrong, as due to an increase in general prosperity, many of the working class have obtained a middle class lifestyle and middle class tastes in alcoholic beverages without actually leaving the confines of working class employment.

For the second group, you are right. The socio-economic group which retains the characteristics of the working class; being lowly-paid, of unrefined education and rather vague breeding does like to drink Stella Artois as it is a bit stronger than Fosters and it makes them feel like they are part of what is quaintly but oxymoronically called the 'upper working class'.

believe me there is nothing new about the phenomenon of Stella

Well not if your working class and go to my local. Pint of that will cost you two pounds eighty from my local pub. And I live in the country not the city! Mind you it is rather popular.

Wifebeat? God I hope not. The stuff is deadly in quantities!
