Never had Victoria bitter but I'm very happy to drink Stella and Bud Light. They are lagers which is obviously a type of beer. I like that sort of beer in the summer if its hot.

Yep - I like a beer in the summer but prefer a rum and coke in the winter

Referred to here affectionately as lawnmower beer - perfect for drinking one or six after mowing the lawn

I've always found it weird that Stella is so popular in the UK.
It's Belgian, but not drunk a lot over there. Not in the Netherlands either
Then you used to have Oranjeboom in the UK. A Dutch lager, that hardly anyone drink in the Netherland

Popular lagers in NL are Heineken, Amstel, Grolsch, Hertog Jan, Bavaria

Among the beer-drinking set here, Stella is seen as either a posh-but-still-affordable choice for the discerning beer drinker, or a generic beer for posers. It’s frequently the only “good” beer on a tap here, where a smaller bar might have Bud, Bud Light, Busch Light, Mich Ultra, and Stella.

I have no problem drinking it, I don’t mind it at all, but I’d see it as a very middle-of-the-road beer - it’s not bad, but it’s not great.

I think it was the beer of choice for so called 'lager louts' in the past. Its mild tasting,easy to drink and its possible to drink lots of it quite quickly.

I like it because its clean tasting and refreshing. But I also like deep dark beers. And a good pint of bitter.
