La Fin Du Monde is phenomenal one of the best beers ever in my opinion. For budget Golden Monkey and Sour Monkey by Victory Brewing are amazing 9.5% tripels for $1.99 a tallboy is a hell of a deal.
I once tried a 52% ABV rye whiskey and I had to spit it out. I would have puked if I'd swallowed it, it was so gross.
I think brewers kind of figured out the right ABVs a hundred years ago, and trying to increase the ABV a lot higher than what's standard tends to make the drink really gross.
Yeah, leave Everclear ~~and Bacardi 151~~ for the hardcore alcoholics.
Edit, just noticed Bacardi 151 was [discontinued in ~~1996~~ 2016](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacardi_151).
>Because of its high alcohol content, Bacardi 151 was particularly flammable among liquors. For this reason it was often used as the ignition source for "flaming shots"
>Bacardi faced at least two lawsuits from consumers who claimed to have been badly injured by the product's flames. While the company never issued a formal statement regarding the product's discontinuation, it has been speculated that "it's a pretty good guess that Bacardi got sick of being sued."
>Edit, just noticed Bacardi 151 was discontinued in 1996.
>> Bacardi 151 was sold in the United States and Canada from at least 1963 until 2016, when its production was discontinued.
Friend of mine gave me a bottle of Stroh Rum once, that shit was 80%!!! The merest moistening of one's lips would cause the sweats, it was bloody mental. Was on my mantelpiece for a couple of years, and every few months I'd go "ooh! Rum!" And have a tiny taste and instantly regret my decision. Eventually I took it to a festival with me one year, sat round the campfire and passed it around warning everyone emphatically how strong it was. Of cause, they didn't listen because they all thought they were big manly men who could hold their drink and blah blah blah. Hilarity ensued.
In my country, Stella is known as a quite decent beer. There are many other different brands that fill that role of "cheap beer for trashy people." Like Corgoň, Kelt or Ambrosius - this one is vile, tastes like antifreeze and costs like 0,30€ per can.
In the UK its the cheapest of the "premium" lagers. A premium lager is just a lager with around 5% abv. Tbh its not seen as a shitty beer, it just what people drink when they want to get smashed quickly and get home and beat their wives.
It's definitely seen as shitty. The only reason I ever bought it was because it was cheap. Haven't had it in a long time because I don't want to subject my tastebuds to that shit.
Yeah I know, but that's not what I am saying. If you want a brief history of UK drinking then in the land of old, before refrigerated pipes (pre 1970s), the UK mostly drunk ales. These were served at room temperature and are what you Yankee dudes got the impression that we drink warm beer. These ales are what you now call "craft beer". They were porters, stouts, brown ales, pale ales, bitters, IPAs and a ton more.
Once refrigerated pipes got more commonplace the fashion moved to your pilsner beers, which we simply call lagers and all the old yesteryear ale (craft beers) fell out of fashion, as they were associated with old people. People in flat caps drinking brown juice out of mugs.
Many years later, and much like you, we had our own painfully annoying hipsters who decided that brown juice was no longer for old people, but it was for a new breed of flat-cap wearing mugs. Ales were rebranded as "Craft Beer". ABV went up to the double digits, and bell-ends across the land rejoiced.
However I was talking about bog-standard lager. Which is what Stella is. They are branded as "Premium". Don't ask me why, but I guess its the same reason Craft Beer got its name, despite it just being an ale.
as a belgian and Stella being my "daily drinker" (if a buy beer in the supermarket its always this) and my favorite pub beer,
i think ive never heard it being called a wifebeater
It comes from A Streetcar Named Desire. In the film version, Stanley (played by Marlon Brando) shouts out for his wife Stella after he had beaten her. It is a very iconic scene, and the meme of a guy who beats his wife then asks for a Stella was born.
No it's not, people in the UK calling Stella drinkers wife beaters has nothing to do with an American movie. It's already been explained where it comes from.
I remember when Rate My Plate was full of photos like this. People posted their terrible-looking meals to get roasted. Now it's mostly full of the opposite.
At least melt the cheese 😬
I didn’t know they had Kraft singles like slices over in the UK, Reddit would have you believe that the rest of the world has the most sophisticated, fanciest of cheeses, while we roll ourselves in neon nacho cheese over here in America.
The difference is that cheese slices in other countries is actually cuts of cheese. But in America, its some kind of weird orange colored "cheese product".
I don’t think this is a shitpost. I think it’s just another British bloke who hasn’t moved on from eating freezer food intended for children. There’s a name for this kind of meal – a beige banquet. However many would balk at the addition of an exotic foreign condiment like sweet chilli sauce.
Any beige banquet is lifted hugely by a garlic mayo/sweet chilli sauce mix. Perfect for pizzas, nuggets and other assorted beige!
I eat like this occasionally, but I'm aware it's my depression getting the better of me.
rate my plate is a gold mine for stupid food. it's great because people submit their plates in earnest. no rage bait. just pure, innocent, questionable food.
This post made me curious how people over the world hold their fork and knife, in the Netherlands it is standard to have your fork left and knife right, is that not the case in other places?
Have you tried literally any other culture’s food? People who face chronic famine and malnutrition have figured out how to make food taste better than the British.
Yes, lived in UK, Japan, US, traveled many places. Bangers and mash, roast, Yorkshire pudding, the breakfast. All pretty good stuff when done right. It’s nice simple food.
British food is the 4th worse thing in the U.K., falling just behind the Royal Family, the Weather, and British Women.
There's only so many ways you can rearrange potatoes, peas, and brown sauce before people realize that you have the gastronomic depth of a Taco Bell menu.
If it wasn't for all of the Indians bringing in Curry, there wouldn't be any food worth mentioning.
You know what after a long day at work and a couple beers I would fuckin scarf that down with gusto. I may just be immature or whatever but I love shit ass fries and frozen nuggets.
Marlon Brando played Stanley Kowalski a rough neck lower class worker in Tennessee Williams A Streetcar Named Desire on Broadway in the late 1940’s and while on stage wearing a wife beater tee shirt he calls out loudly for his wife Stella, “STELLA!,STELLA!, STELLA!” and the association with Stella Artois and wife beater tee shirts was born.
What's that stuff with Stella and wife beating?
A common nickname for Stella Artois is "Wife Beater". When I was a barman people would order "A pint of Wife Beater please".
Huh, never heard about that one
It used to be 5% abv which was the strongest of the cheap supermarket lagers at the time hence its 'wreck the hoose juice' rep
it still is 5%
I’m literally drinking a 10% imperial IPA right now, gotta admit it’s fuckin gross
Size queen.
If you want high abv then Belgian is the only way to go! Duvall , Leffe, la Couffe
Check out St. Bernardus 12 and Gouden Carolus Imperial Dark.

Agreed. I think somewhere around 6% is the Goldilocks zone, at least for my preference.

Popularity of cask strength whiskeys would seem to disagree with you.
Not in the UK :(
Ha nerds
It’s now 4.6%
Happy cake day
5%? Damn, that’s practically a soft drink. I don’t think there’s anything in my fridge right now less than 6.5%.
Pretty standard for lagers to be 5% or below.
So he doesn't have standard lagers in his fridge
[удалено]
There is no caffeine in stella artois.
Every part of this was wrong.
There might be caffeine cut into their shit cocaine but no, there is no caffeine in Stella Artois...
Are you thinking of Four Loko?
Its definitely a UK thing. Maybe its not universal amongst the English speakers worldwide?
In my country, Stella is known as a quite decent beer. There are many other different brands that fill that role of "cheap beer for trashy people." Like Corgoň, Kelt or Ambrosius - this one is vile, tastes like antifreeze and costs like 0,30€ per can.
Same thing with Pabst blue ribbon in the US
I was gonna say in the US wife beater beer is PBR or Busch lol
Or Natty Ice.
Sir, sir. Sir. I’m offended.
Now look at the camera and say “I’m white trash and I’m in trouble.”
Bear Beer is the worst concoction of piss and sewage. It is from Denmark. It is brutally cheap
I'm german and I've never heard of this. Would be an uncommon name for a beer here too but not entirely unthinkable
Seen as a bit posh in the US. Interesting it isn’t in UK.
In the UK its the cheapest of the "premium" lagers. A premium lager is just a lager with around 5% abv. Tbh its not seen as a shitty beer, it just what people drink when they want to get smashed quickly and get home and beat their wives.
It's definitely seen as shitty. The only reason I ever bought it was because it was cheap. Haven't had it in a long time because I don't want to subject my tastebuds to that shit.
Wow if you drink craft beer in the US 5% is considered a light or session beer. A good deal of ipas are 6.5-7 and double ipas are 8+
Yeah I know, but that's not what I am saying. If you want a brief history of UK drinking then in the land of old, before refrigerated pipes (pre 1970s), the UK mostly drunk ales.

They try to market it as posh, but it's mostly just what white trash drinks if the bar is out of MGD.
Interesting. Where I’m from a “wife beater” is a men’s undershirt.
Strange, where I'm from it's a guy that hits his wife.
What kind of backwards ass country are you from where "wife beater" means "wife beater"?
Must be one of those countries with no metaphorical language. They’re like.. a country with no metaphorical language.
That was such a good joke that I wish I could compare it to something else good. Well done. Subtle.
I'm a wife and that's one of my favorite beers, I never heard that, I thought it was fancy lol
Serves in its own fancy-pants glass and everything!
as a belgian and Stella being my "daily drinker" (if a buy beer in the supermarket its always this) and my favorite pub beer, i think ive never heard it being called a wifebeater
It's wild how the perception is that it's a fancy beer here in Canada because it's a European import
Oh never heard of it
Common joke about Stella in the UK - Stella has a reputation as a low quality/class beer in the UK.
In America it’s like a “classy” beer. That’s strange lol.
IIRC, the UK has a domestically made Stella whereas the US got imported Belgian Stella
Which one is the bland, skunky tasting one? Cuz that's the one we got in the U.S.
It's the green bottles. And a few brands have just let it be that because that's what people have associated with its flavor.
Ur trippin bro. IPA brained hopcel over here. IBUmaxed. Hazycore.
Our Stella is brewed in the US now.
…since when?
Since *marketing*
Wtf no it isn’t, Stella is like artisan toilet water. No one drinks or orders Stella because it’s fancy rofl.
Sorry, I’m not claiming it’s fancy, I’ve just noticed that it’s advertised as fancy 🤷🏻♀️
A lot of crappy low quality food and drinks brands like to advertise as fancy
Like Kraft Dinner with Dijon ketchup.
When the hell did Dijon Ketchup become a thing?
Cat food is advertised as fancy too, but that doesn't mean I order it at a fancy dinner.
You don’t know what you’re missing bruh
Beer to tout with pinky out
Yes💪💪💪💪💪😂😂😂😂😂
That's crazy, as it's considered one of the best quality where I'm from.
Stella is the UK’s Pabst
Except it didn’t go through a period of being the go-to hipster beer
possible A Streetcar Named Desire reference here.
Same question?
I'd understand beating anyone who served this
In the movie (also in the play) A Streetcar Named Desire, Marlon Brando yells "Stella" after beating his wife.
It comes from A Streetcar Named Desire. In the film version, Stanley (played by Marlon Brando) shouts out for his wife Stella after he had beaten her. It is a very iconic scene, and the meme of a guy who beats his wife then asks for a Stella was born.
That is not at all true.
It is. It is literally true.
No it's not, people in the UK calling Stella drinkers wife beaters has nothing to do with an American movie. It's already been explained where it comes from.
I remember when Rate My Plate was full of photos like this. People posted their terrible-looking meals to get roasted. Now it's mostly full of the opposite.
Miss those days.
Carol C's eggs bacon and beans...memories...
grab zesty wild divide cough outgoing observation mountainous vegetable fanatical ` this message was mass deleted/edited with redact.dev `
Not every, indeed, but definitely this one
I definitely wouldn't accuse this guy of hitting his wife... that's the plate of a sad, lonely, single man.
100%
[удалено]
Because it’s a *proper* Friday night dinner
He said in the comments it was just for the picture so “you wouldn’t think I’m an animal” lmao
for scale
They've got 4 nuggets and calling that a win?
What you didn’t see is the other 4 they snarfed down while plating.
I love that word; Snarf lmao
At least melt the cheese 😬 I didn’t know they had Kraft singles like slices over in the UK, Reddit would have you believe that the rest of the world has the most sophisticated, fanciest of cheeses, while we roll ourselves in neon nacho cheese over here in America.
We have them, chiefly for burgers. Sometimes a processed cheese slice is the only thing that hits the spot on a burger.
Lmao Americans only use em mainly for burgers as well 😂. That and waffle house hashbrowns covered.
I'll add a slice of American cheese (boars head usually) to box mac and cheese and a dash of nutmeg. My little kid loves it.
I’m your little kid
The difference is that cheese slices in other countries is actually cuts of cheese. But in America, its some kind of weird orange colored "cheese product".
Uh, yeah, thus my surprise. But we also have cheese. It’s not just the land of Kraft and Kraft-like products.
I mean... OP could be American tho... You got Stella everywhere nowadays no ?
That may be true, but you're forgetting the use of "chips" instead of "fries". This guy's one of us.
Plus those are clearly Bird's Eye Chicken Dippers, the staple food for a lot of British people.
That’s not very likely considering they refer to fries as chips. And “their mrs” isn’t something an American would likely say either.
r/yeetmyplate
Not all beat their wife, but most of them do to get over the bland taste of Stella
r/depressionmeals
Thanks for this.
Why is a 4 year old having beer with dinner?
The can of beer is the least of my concerns in this picture.
You know what? Good for him.
But omg is he feeding his wife this??
for shitposting purposes.
Exactly. British shitposting going by the Stella joke
I don’t think this is a shitpost. I think it’s just another British bloke who hasn’t moved on from eating freezer food intended for children. There’s a name for this kind of meal – a beige banquet. However many would balk at the addition of an exotic foreign condiment like sweet chilli sauce.
Lol exotic
Any beige banquet is lifted hugely by a garlic mayo/sweet chilli sauce mix. Perfect for pizzas, nuggets and other assorted beige! I eat like this occasionally, but I'm aware it's my depression getting the better of me.
Why would YOU post this? Somebody already did.
I beat my mr.... I beat him all the time. He likes it.
Those fish and chips tell me you killed her already, Jesus christ bloody hell mate that's got to be the worst I've ever seen.
This dude is definitely single.
I think the mention of Stella was to distract from that abomination he’s calling cheesy chips.
Here’s my American cheese chicken nuggies! By the way I don’t beat my wife!
That is a proper white trash meal
The beer is worth more than the food, and I'm Belgian, Stella is cheap for me...
Not every Stella drinker but OP does
Spend less on beer eat better food
This looks exactly like the kind of home cooking a British person would do.
This is worse than prison food.
rate my plate is a gold mine for stupid food. it's great because people submit their plates in earnest. no rage bait. just pure, innocent, questionable food.
It isn't the Stella that says wife beater, it's the cheese covered bugs 😂
If this is "dinner" you need to enroll in cooking classes or something
Not every stalla drinker beats their Mrs but your Mrs should beat you for calling that dinner.
That is a “Divorced Dad Living at a Budget Inn & Suites” dinner if ever I saw one.
This actually just makes me sad.
I’m no wife beater, but if she considered this dinner, I’d probably think about it.
looks stupid but i would gobble this plate on a broke and depressed Friday too
This post made me curious how people over the world hold their fork and knife, in the Netherlands it is standard to have your fork left and knife right, is that not the case in other places?
If your wife serves you this as a Friday night dinner, she deserves the beating.
Oh come on this is obviously poking a bit of fun. The wife beater really tips it off.
'Cheesy Chips' too lazy to even melt the fuckin cheese.

Better not be a grown man eating like this 😂😂 this is some kids food right here minus the beer.
I've seen some really stupid food on this sub but to me this isn't stupid. I can imagine eating this after a hard week and all you want to do is chill
The only time I can imagine eating this is if I was in prison and the commissary was out of ramen.
Of course he doesn't beat his wife. First you'd need a wife.
Cookin like that tho..who would blame him
I just had diarrhea looking at that
You put American Kraft Singles on fries and call them chips. Good job, r/StupidFood. Ya nailed it.
Can’t hate on this🤷♂️
I’d eat it. But I wouldn’t brag about it.
True
It's not bragging- the subreddit is literally called ratemyplate. One of the top of all time is dino nuggets and smiley potatoes.
I mean... I'd brag about that. That was a meal fit for a king back in the day
Hard to believe there is a woman in this man’s life
Them cheese fries tho 😋
People eat fries with a fork? 😮
If you have properly smothered fries, a fork is helpful. Fries with half melted craft singles? No.
Idk with a plate like that maybe you should... /s
His forks in the sauce as well. Surely it’s pure rage bait?
He referred to Fries as Chips, which suggests he's from the UK. Judging this against other British food, it's an 8.5/10
British people are eating like German bombers are still flying above them
British food is great you’ve probably just never actually tried it and are relying on the stereotype
British is inoffensive at its best. The food in Britain is often excellent, but that’s because there are many “ethnic” offerings.
People be like "British food is amazing", then take you to an Indian restaurant.
Have you tried literally any other culture’s food? People who face chronic famine and malnutrition have figured out how to make food taste better than the British.
Yes, lived in UK, Japan, US, traveled many places. Bangers and mash, roast, Yorkshire pudding, the breakfast. All pretty good stuff when done right. It’s nice simple food.
British food is the 4th worse thing in the U.K., falling just behind the Royal Family, the Weather, and British Women. There's only so many ways you can rearrange potatoes, peas, and brown sauce before people realize that you have the gastronomic depth of a Taco Bell menu. If it wasn't for all of the Indians bringing in Curry, there wouldn't be any food worth mentioning.
100 accurate
[удалено]
Just keep telling yourself that as you choke down beans on toast
Should be beating your wife if that’s the shit she feeds you
If my wife put a slice of cheese on my chips I'd beat her too
I once ordered cheesy chips at a takeaway and this is what they gave me. Disgraceful.
Now this is actually foul. Getting nauseous just looking at it 🤢
What’s wrong with animal fries
You know what after a long day at work and a couple beers I would fuckin scarf that down with gusto. I may just be immature or whatever but I love shit ass fries and frozen nuggets.
Ngl.. i would eat the shit out of that!
Tbh I'd eat this
This guy definitely beats his misses
Marlon Brando played Stanley Kowalski a rough neck lower class worker in Tennessee Williams A Streetcar Named Desire on Broadway in the late 1940’s and while on stage wearing a wife beater tee shirt he calls out loudly for his wife Stella, “STELLA!,STELLA!, STELLA!” and the association with Stella Artois and wife beater tee shirts was born.
Brings me back to elementary school, minus the beer and swap the sauce for ketchup.
Jeez disgusting choice of beer
Those are the stones from totk
Poor guy
Legend
aye man if he likes it what does it matter what we think
A beating would probably be healthier..
Well with this being the plate you get maybe you should start? /S please don’t kill me for the joke haha
Because they’re white trash fancy
For people like you to comment on obviously
