What your choice of brew says about you!
We all know about "body language" but what about "beer language"? Beer can say a lot about a person, and we asked what it was saying to you.

Interesting but lacking of any CASK product. Some drink for thought the next time you step up to the bar to order though!

It is amazing what marketing can do. Many Canadians believe Stella to be a sexy and sophisticated beer, whereas I've been told that in the UK it's commonly referred to as "wife-beater".
I think many people (none of which are on this forum) are more likely to regularly buy a beer based on the marketed image and perceived identity than on the actual merits of the drink. A little sad really.. but maybe no different than how many people purchase other items (cars, computers, etc)?

You would discount Brando and Leigh in the film. As Frank Magazine used to say, shurely shome mistake!Bobsy wrote:Bartowel is becoming far too sophisticated for my liking, Belgian, but surely you meant to say that Streetcar was a brilliant play?Belgian wrote:Wifebeater! Sounds like a reference to Brando's Stanley Kowalski. "Streetcar" is an excellent movie.
"StelLaaa STEEELLLAAA!!!"
The "wifebeater" tag, BTW, is definitely English in origin and usage; I've not heard the reference once in all of my trips to Belgium or communications with Belgians. On a related note, Stella Legere is now being referred to in England as "babybeater."
