Why? because he was a phony snob.
He didn't like the taste but thought (mistakenly) that it somehow made him cooler when he ordered something different.

I know another guy who lives in south orange county (snob central).
He got on that stella artois kick, believing it was french.
I told him it was distributed by Anheuser-Busch and in Europe is often called "wife beater" beer, now he doesn't like it anymore.
Rained on his parade.
Guinness is different? That is the stout for the masses. While o.k. (especially here in the states) it is nothing amazing.

Founders Breakfast Stout, now that is a good Stout.

Ten Fiddy another great stout.

Don't get me started with the imperial stouts. I love me some 10% plus Stouts.


I am with you on the Stella, never understood the fascination with it, I tried it, it is nothing special.
