In any case... I find it delightful. These guy meet my needs. 
What would you recommend (for a low budget)?
Nothing wrong with Stella - just not my thing. Mostly just messin' with ya. It's my thing (messing with people, that is). Pay me no mind.
My daily drinking beer is usually Black Butte Porter, Mirror Pond Pale, Moose Drool, or Dead Guy Ale.
No idea what's available in your neck of the woods, though. Deschutes Brewery (the first two) claims to stock at Albertsons, CVS, and Wal-Mart there.
At the pub, hmmm, depends on what's on tap. Too many to choose from! 50 taps, 40+ of them rotating, I rarely have the same thing twice in a row.

I will be sure to try something out!
I usually stick to my faves because everywhere I go around here has the same beer. They just have all the "lites" and a few others. My friends (the men) all drink Budlight. Fuck no. And the girls drink girly drinks that I don't care for. Stella meets my needs, but they don't have it in every bar. Heineken is popular, so I find it anywhere. Indio is my guilty pleasure. Indio makes me feel dirty and very relaxed. I drink that when I'm feeling boyish 
Wine, on the other hand. I won't have it. I'm cheap like that.

If I want something like that, I have to go to San Diego or Phoenix.
Wine is my guilty anti-pleasure. lol I wish I liked it, I just don't.

It seems to be very much an acquired taste. What got me hooked was pairing it with cheese and food.

Go get yourself some of this.
Quote:Approda in Europa la campagna per il Montepulciano d'Abruzzo
È partita in Europa la campagna di comunicazione del progetto “il Montepulciano, piacere d'Abruzzo”.
Il vitigno abruzzese per eccellenza acquista un profilo internazionale e si presenta con un biglietto da visita esclusivo: una qualità superiore e una provenienza che racconta il miglior made in Italy.
La campagna con protagonista il Montepulciano d'Abruzzo ha spazi strategici sulle testate più amate dal pubblico e sui portali web più cliccati.
Tra le prestigiose vetrine stampa europee per il Montepulciano d'Abruzzo figurano autorevoli magazine scandinavi e in lingua inglese e tedesca, dedicati al mondo dell'enologia, dei viaggi e del turismo, tra cui gli illustri Wine Spectator, Decanter, Vinum, The Times Magazine, Falstaff, National Geographic e Scanorama.
Il Montepulciano d'Abruzzo sarà in primo piano anche online, su portali di informazione, enogastronomia e tempo libero ad alto traffico, quali i siti di Decanter e Telegraph nel Regno Unito e Traveltalk.de e Fvw.de in Germania.
La campagna web europea per il Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, partita in parallelo a quella italiana, declina la comunicazione in modo impattante e suggestivo, invitando i milioni di utenti in linea sui siti leader in Europa a scoprire il Montepulciano d'Abruzzo ed esplorare il sito del Consorzio di Tutela dei vini d'Abruzzo.

Oh! Oh! I LOVE cheese! lol
and bacon.
But back to the wine. To me, wine is so complicated, I don't know where to start. I'm ignorant about it so much. I went to a wine tasting event once and even though I didn't swallow it I still felt oozy. Hats off, dreamer. Hats off.

Oh... oh, no... if you like beer... you can't, just can't make Stella your favorite.
Ivy, next time you're coming around, I swear... I'll make you a beer lover, and I promise Stella Artois will be in your headlights.

If it says Thunderbird or Ripple or comes in a cardboard box, put it down.
If it says "Product of California" use it to pour on fires.
If it says imported from France or Italy it is safe to drink.
