Consuming this lager will move you out of that basic beer-drinking sphere and have you seen as approachable, but with a more sophisticated feel. An international lobbying company tried to remove references to a client's brand of lager as the "wife beater" from the online encyclopedia Wikipedia.Stella Artois used to market itself under the slogan "reassuringly expensive" but became popularly known in Britain as the "wife beater" beer because of its high alcohol content and perceived connection with aggression and binge drinking. |
| Type: | Belgian pilsner lager 4.8% ABV. Was 5% in the UK before 2012 - presumably lowered to reduce yobbish behavior and wife beatings. |
