The Cause of and Solution To

Long before i turned 21.
Long before i was born.
Long before my fathers or their fathers or even their fathers were born:

There existed Beer.

Even before America was great, or even concieved:

There existed Beer.

Before King Henry or Charlemange or even Caesar:

There existed Beer.

It has been established that beer is the reason our ancestors settled down from the hunter/gatherer lifestyle to the sedentary farming lifestyle. It turned disease-bringing water into a life-giving elixir.
And I honor my ancestors by enjoying it throughout.

So tonight I honor and imbibe Stella Artois.
Not my favorite, but by far the easiest to obtain and drink, without being considered a session beer.
Now I understand that by starting the first beer of my Final Fantasy and Beer blog with a beer that is pretty well known and probably looked down upon as a sorority girl beer, let me defend that preemptively with this argument:

"hey fuck you man, Stella is a good beer!"

                                        at least the Man in Black thought so [citation needed]

QED.

So that having been established, let me explain further why I enjoy (and consequently drink) Stella.
For starters, the taste is pretty non-offensive. Even for a green-bottle beer, I have rarely, if ever found a skunky taste in it. But I have had even more success when I have it on tap, if I am lucky enough to find one.
In short, Stella is a good a lager as any, and I have yet to find someone that really does not like it. Yeah, it's a people pleaser, but that in and of itself does not a bad beer make.

Bottoms up!
