What a nice looking beard and suit on a handsome man!

Looking good man, but jesus christ can i go into one fucking thread where somebody is holding a beer and someone doesn't make a comment on how shitty whatever brand of beer someone is holding is. Just enjoy your alcohol and leave everyone alone unless you have something nice to say. Sorry for the rant.

Classy and dapper.

Looking like arnold

As a lifter, that's a wicked compliment. Cheers!

Well he's fine. What bar can I find him in?

Well done sir.

It's... It's glorious... You get extra points for the fantastic, well tailored suit, the great tie colour choice, the impeccable knot, the pocket square (extra, extra points for making the effort to match the tie not the shirt) just the right amount of cuff, double cuffs and stylish cufflinks. You sir, have impeccable taste! Also bonus points in the comments for saying Guinness would be your first choice, not sure if you're Irish yourself but I am and it makes me proud... I wanna be friends!!

That is absolutely kind of you to say. Can't say I'm Irish but I do love a good stout. I would have a pint of Guinness with you, friend.
2
Classy indeed. Good job man!
2
Man, nothing classier than some price of Wales check.
2
That's just not fair
2
Handsome. From Canada here, and I always Stella was a premium beer, huh. Still like it though.
2
I like you, I like you a lot.
2
I like you too, friend!
2
Stella Artois, s'il vous plait.

This is the first beard I have seen hit r/all that didn't have those dumb twirly-doos at the end of the mustache.
Good on you.
2
what an amazing looking lad you are
2
I don't always drink beer
2
But when you do...

you look like Arnold

Apart from the pint of Stella.
Kempt beard, nice suit, fancy restaurant, pint of wifebeater.
Wait, wait, wait. Where does it have this reputation? Most people seem to see it as a "fancy" beer around here (SoCal.). I mean, their entire branding is based around being classy and posh.
In the UK it's considered to be a cheap crap beer, in the US it's considered much higher class.
Stella is quite expensive around England compared to other beers. Not right up there, but still far from 'cheap crap'. The negative image with Stella stems more from social factors than it's actual taste. Normally because you're almost certain to see a rough, big bellied football fan downing a pint instead of a man in a suit.
Stella is an everyday beer for football fans in Europe. It's a triumph of marketing the way it is sold in the US.
I think we have enough breweries in Southern California to recognize overpriced cat piss when we see it.
That's true among the people that are into craft beer, but it's still generally seen as a "fancy" beer, or at least one that's intended to be fancy.
UK. They've made a concerted effort in the past decade to rebrand, introducing a weaker 4% beer and marketing their beer as premium (they were mocked a couple of years ago for calling their glasses 'chalices' in adverts), but generally it's not highly thought-of.
Haha, and my first choice would've been a Guinness. Like u/DrMikeTyson, I'm in Canada and Stella was listed as premium beer.
Edit: Since this is getting a lot of attention, I'll share some background. It was my first time at a particular luxury hotel and instead of ordering red wine or scotch, I wanted to share a beer with my father. There were slim pickings and we decided to go with Stella Artois.
Nice! Next time pic with Guinness! Guaranteed to get more up votes.
It wasn't listed, strangely enough!
Trust me man, find yourself a nice brewery and settle down with some craft beers.
I'll give that a shot next. Thanks, man!
What's wrong with Stella? It's a perfectly fine beer from my homecountry?
It's am overpriced beer that has little to no flavor and certainly isn't premium.
Since I live in Belgium, I forgot that it could be overpriced in other countries . Also, I know they're trying to boost the premium feel, while it's just regular pils. Nonetheless for a regular pils, the taste is absolutely great and living in a country that lives for it's beer and where it's perfectly legal to start drinking it from the age of 16, I think that I might have an idea what I'm talking about. I understand that it's not Westvleteren, Duvel, Chimay, Westmalle, Choufe,... But it's not supposed to be.
It probably tastes better in Belgium tbh. It's the same for Guinness here in Ireland, it never tastes the same abroad. But I can confirm that in my experience it's fairly flavorless and very gassy and acidic.
The thing is even for a pilsner its not really that good.
It's called wifebeater for a reason in my experience.
Stella is good on tap, go kick rocks.
I knew the beer snobs would be out in full force on this. Is nobody gonna concentrate on OPs awesomely trimmed beard?

I suppose it depends where you are. Country and region etc.
I'm a bartender and Stella is ordered by a certain type of person; money conscious, looking to get the thing that will get them the most pissed for the least amount of money. Often accompanied by a very red face. The frugal pisshead, if you will.
The adverts are nice but that's just marketing to try and mask the above stereotype and encourage people who look like the gent in the photo to drink it as well - so it's obviously working somewhere!
Aside from the stereotype, the Stella glasses - or 'goblets' Do look very nice. Probably the nicest - so they've got a good marketing and design team!
Ya, here in Canada Stella is marketed as a 'premium' beer. It's expensive.
So I don't know what happened there.
Same back when I was living in Brazil. It is more expensive than Heineken.
Trivia time: The "Goblets" are only used in foreign countries. In Belgium we get Stella in a plain pint glas. Just like the simple, cheap, pils it is. So strange to see it selled as a Premium beer.
This is starting to change though, I see more and more special glasses out there in the wild.

Chalice is metal goblet in museum. Goblet is glass.

exactly!
5% ABV is the same as what regular Budweiser is. And here's something most people fail to realize: the difference between a 5.0% ABV beer and a 4.2% ABV beer is not 0.8%. It's 19% (5.0/4.2 -1).
It's cheap. Drink enough of it you're gonna get pissed.
[deleted]
It's definitely done a good job in changing it's image, the chalices are magnifique! Surely it's a step above Fosters, Carling, Carlsberg etc.
Anything but fosters and carlsberg. They are just worthless! We don't sell carling.. Thank Christ
Stella is for people who want to pretend to like beer.

Unless it's Stella 4 - then that's perfectly acceptable, as it's just as expensive but takes you a lot longer to get to the point of riding a shopping trolley through the window of bus stop with a cone on your head.
