Beer Review – Stella Artois Lager

Posted on by Roshan Leave a comment

Stella Artois is a pilsner beer of between 4.8 and 5.2% ABV which has been brewed in Leuven, Belgium, since 1926. A 4% ABV version is sold in Britain, Ireland, Canada and New Zealand. Stella Artois is owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world’s largest brewer.

Although Belgium is best known internationally for its ales, the so-called “table beers,” the bottom-fermented pilsner lagers such as Stella Artois head the list for domestic consumption, making up almost 75% of Belgian beer production. Stella Artois is available on draught and in several packaged sizes, including a 275 ml bottle, 284 ml bottle, a 330 ml bottle, a 440 ml can, a 50cl can, a pint size can known as “La Grande Biere” (568 ml), 66 cl bottle, 70 cl bottle and a 1 liter bottle.

Stella Artois has been associated with film in the UK since 1994, organizing events, sponsoring television, and hosting a website. Stella Artois has been or is a primary sponsor of the Cannes, Melbourne, and Sundance film festivals, the Independent Spirit Awards, and the Little Rock Film Festival. For many years previously The Queen’s Club Championships, an annual tournament for male tennis players, held on grass courts at the Queen’s Club in West Kensington, London and part of the ATP World Tour 500 series on the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Tour, was known as the Stella Artois Championships.

Providence Road

Street – One Word Prompt

I thought of writing a post about my street, Providence Road, the one I live on since even a lot of local people aren’t aware about it. I think the name Providence came from the small old age home care that is located near the entrance of the road from the main road (Banerjee Road in Kacheripady) which is also called Providence home for the elderly. at the entrance is a small hospital, not a really good one but for emergencies people who live in this area do go to it, as have I on a few occasions.

There is a nice hotel, called the Senate, with small business / corporate halls for meetings, buffet dinners, coffee shop and restaurant. There is a small, tiny shop near it, a pet supply store with fish and small aquariums, stationary stores, ice cream parlour, shoe store, an internet cafe or two (I think one closed down), a printing and press shop, DTP center, and some other smaller businesses on one section. A few houses too. There is also a small college on the same road as well as a law office and a bank’s small office branch and we reach a four way junction.

Beyond the four way junction we have more stores, a grocery store (not the kind you think of just a small hole in the wall), a large stationary/novelty etc etc store, a men’s clothing shop, a women’s clothing shop, a small photo studio, three tea shops and small restaurants, a panwala, a printing store, more houses, 3 apartment buildings, a wood work and carpentry store, a small soft drink store, an office building for a press company. Whew all that on a small road like ours.
