Shane Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Its brewed and canned in either Preston ( Samlesbury ) or Magor ( South Wales ) there isnt a brewery in Luton its Interbrews head office there Cheers Ian Whitbread used to brew in Oakley Road, Luton and then there was a strike back in the 80s I think and they closed the factory rather than giving into the strikers iirc. My mum and dad still have the pictures of the huge stainless steel sylo tower thingys being transported past their house when they built the factory in the early 70s. The roads were shut for hours so they could be transported in one piece, I was about 10 at the time and can remember all the high drama of it.

hogmaw Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I'm a Stella connoisseur. The UK brewed is pants. You could be drinking any old shite. There is only one true Stella, and it's brewed in Belgium, and you can usually only get it in corner shops. End. Of. Story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Bloody lager louts. Get yourselves to a proper beer festival. Then you'll taste something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Can not stand cider, I got drunk on a bottle and 1/2 merrydown when I was 14 skiving school and now I cannot touch the stuff now. Me too. Dabbled with cider in my mid-late teens (Copperhead, Olde English and of course strongbow). After I'd had the crate of White Lightning I bought from makro, my brief affair I had with cider was over, and we went our separate ways. PS why isn't there a chunder smiley? Or can I use Digsy's avatar?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Having chundered on about the beauty of real Belgian Stella, I must say that I am a real ale boffin these days. I tend to switch allegences between proper ale and lager every few months, but right now you can't beat a drop of proper English beer.
